GWOZDZilla Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks for the quick response. I checked the auto-play videos and still no luck. I'll keep plucking around till I can get it right. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Okay do you get video playback in LB and not BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOZDZilla Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Negative. I don't get Video playback anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Do you have a emumovies account and you have the video files downloaded (sorry to ask this but troubleshooting you see some crazy shit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOZDZilla Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Yes I do (that's okay, ask away...that's the best way to troubleshoot). All of the videos were downloaded via Emu and placed into the Video folder in LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOZDZilla Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 So after I deleted the BigBoxSettings.xml, It created some settings and works for some reason via the default folder. I'm going to try to change the location again just to see if that throws off the platform settings for the video location. Thanks for all your help.

Jason Carr Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 @GWOZDZilla Sorry if this has already been covered, but what video playback engine are you using? VLC or Windows Media Player. If you're using WMP, it may be that it's not installed on your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanThurman Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) OK I give in. I've looked for about an hour and I can't see how you get hyperspin mp4 videos to work without moving them e.g they are currently at S:\emu\data\Atari 2600\video LB is at C:\Apps\LaunchBox I've tried making changes in the FE and in Data\platforms.xml. Googled it to death Nothing works! Also I'm just trying this out, I presume videos do work in the non premium version? Is there something you have to do to make them appear. Is there a global settings to set the default video folder to be S:\emu\data\ that it can then just key off to sysname\Video ? TIA Edited October 2, 2017 by DanThurman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Just go to tools/manage platforms double click a platform then go to the folder tab the second option is videos, just browse to where yours are stored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 @DanThurman Unfortunately videos do require premium, however. They're not available in the free version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Jason, i was just double checking that as i have never tried video's on the free version, i went for a license the same day i tried the free version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh OK Thanks. I was editing it in the First 'details' tab under video path (which wanted an actual video selected) I presume then that setting is for the platform video 52 minutes ago, Jason Carr said: @DanThurman Unfortunately videos do require premium, however. They're not available in the free version. So even if I've already downloaded them and they all work with hyperspin I won't be able to see them in launchbox free version? (handy if could see first three videos for trial purposes). So is there a migration tool that can transcribe the hyperspin xml files into Launchbox, then let LB update any missing art you've requested?

Jason Carr Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Unfortunately there isn't currently a migration tool, no, though that is something that I would definitely like to build yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodww Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 On 1/29/2017 at 6:26 PM, Jason Carr said: @mgtroyas It may be that you just need to increase the RAM cache size under Tools > Options > System > RAM Cache. Typically 512 MB+ is optimal, and you can check the box to clear the ram cache before launching games if needed. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't find this option anywhere? I've attached a screenshot of the options menu in v10.11 and I don't see Tools-Options-System-Ram Cache? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAMe Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hi Team, Im still pretty lost on setting the Global folder for media... earlier in this thread it talks of setting this in the LaunchBox.xml I cant see that and im assuming its been retired in the newer versions. I can see the platforms.xml which I can change the file paths however when I re-scan in Launchbox it resets them back to the default which is the root folder for LB. This seems like such a simple thing and I cant believe that its come this far and that ability to set the root globally just isn't there. Could someone shed light for me. im using the latest version (10.13) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
