Drybonz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Jason Carr said As best as I can tell from the server logs, there should be no bandwidth issues since we upgraded to the gigabit connection. We are indeed allowing more bandwidth to go through, and things seem performant from my end, so not sure what might have happened there @Drybonz. No worries, Jason... I did finally get that beta downloaded... just wanted to send a heads up that the site has been dragging a bit vs. other sites that I visit. Also, is it possible that you can add a "pinball" platform video and image? I know there's a few guys (and me) out there launching their pinball stuff with Launchbox and I thought the silverball could use a little love. *edit* I should add that today's beta download seemed to be back to normal speeds. Looks like there was a MS .Net update for anyone who hasn't got it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Is there a way to start BigBox on your second monitor? If not, this would be a very helpful option to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks Jason. Looks awesome! Is there an option to hide platform banner images? Had to put a transparent image there because I couldn't find the option. Also when I would delete the banner, LaunchBox would just automatically add another one. Also could we get the wheel to fade in and out? It is in the way of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 shinra358 said After updating, the platform section does not show my edits. Which xaml file controls the platform wheel view now? Edit: Just tried to edit the curvature on every single file with platform in the name in the default theme and not a single one complied with the change. Thanks @shinra358, sorry I should have clarified. If you check the Default theme folder, you'll see some new items there, since I customized all the platform wheel views. The PlatformWheelImageDetailsThumbFiltersView.xaml file is basically the new version of the PlatformWheelFiltersView.xaml file. So I think if you rename PlatformWheelFiltersView.xaml to PlatformWheelImageDetailsThumbFiltersView.xaml you should get your changes back if you're on the right view. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 shinra358 By curvature do you mean the CurveAmount property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks @imdavid555, there's no option right now to hide the platform banner images, but it would be very easy to do with a custom theme (probably as easy as just deleting a line). It's a good to add the option to fade the wheel in and out; can we add that to Bitbucket? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Drybonz said Is there a way to start BigBox on your second monitor? If not, this would be a very helpful option to add. @Drybonz that is currently on the to-do list. However, in most cases you can trick Windows into starting on your other monitor by starting it from a window on your secondary monitor (for example, put an icon to Big Box on your desktop on your secondary monitor).

kmoney Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 My dream has finally come true....platform videos!!!! Great job Jason....they look great! Using windows media player when you enter a platform from the wheels view while a platform video is playing and then exit back into the platform wheels view the video starts back automatically which is great! The issue I am still having is the game videos do not start back automatically when you exit a game until you select another game. Instead of the video starting back when I exit a game, a screenshot will appear that is in my image folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinra358 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks Jason, that did the trick. Must have accidentally skipped a file when trying to change the curvature to see which file it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Drybonz said Is there a way to start BigBox on your second monitor? If not, this would be a very helpful option to add. There is also software that can do this. Like Jason said, obviously want to create a way to do this without extra software, but I use DisplayFusion Pro. I actually talked about it in another thread where someone wanted to do the same thing and I detailed how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks... I use Display Fusion and actually just set up a profile for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks Jason. Created a bitBucket ticket. Issue #1116. Platform videos would look much better without the wheel in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIE Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Jason Carr said ALIE said i made a custom SNES system launch box has created a folder for it but when importing its not on the list? Can you give me more details, @ALIE? What isn't in what list? Ok i first created a new system called Snes EU Exclusives. I say scrap as SNES. This part I guess was done correctly since a new folder is made in my roms folder. Then I go to Import I find my folder with the European Executive's. And now when picking system I only see the normal Snes I can't pick the new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've already added the platforms unchecking it (or checking it? I can't remember) will only show you systems you've added to LaunchBox. You can also just manually type anything here.

kmoney Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I found a new bug in the newest beta: In BigBox with Windows Media Player chosen, the platform videos show the correct aspect ratios for 4:3 and 16:9 but the game videos do not. They stay the same aspect ratio and do not change for vertical and horizontal game videos in for instance the "Arcade" platform games list. However I tried out the VLC option and the aspect ratios seem to be correct for vertical and horizontal games. Also I created a ticket in Bitbucket.

Lmagnus87 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Jason Carr said That view looks really awesome @Lmagnus87. It will probably be a while before we start adding more visual features to LaunchBox itself again, but that'll be a great path to take when we get there. If someone can add that as a ticket to Bitbucket that'd be great. Thanks Jason, I always post on both (Bitbucket and LB Forum) Lmagnus87 said [BB Ticket]New Kind of View for Launchbox or maybe BigBox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
