Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Thank you @snarfo67, I really appreciate your kind words there. Made for really good prep for the live stream here. @Mute64, hmm, that's interesting. I very faintly remember something about that from a long time ago. Certainly isn't by design, so I guess we'll call it a bug. I'll have to look into it.
DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 @Jason Carrlet me know if you keep having that sound card issue as I'm having that too with my SoundBlaster in W10 Anniversary Edition after it happens I get no sound RetroArch launches black screen it only happens when LB is involved but I thought it was just an issue with my sound card now I'm wondering if it could be windows related I believe that all of my USB devices are set to not power down in device manager so let me know if the power settings work for you
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Will do @DOS76. If your soundcard is internal I doubt it's the same issue as internal sound cards don't typically use USB.
DOS76 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 No its a USB Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 its a few years old but works great until recently
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Ah, gotcha. Then that definitely makes sense.
Zombeaver Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 What's the problem you're having @DOS76? I have an X-Fi as well although it's an actual internal card. I went back a couple pages and couldn't figure out what post you were referencing. There's some kind of powersaving issue that's causing your X-Fi to freak out or something?
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 You guys all using Big Box VLC without issues so far? Huh? Huh?
Zombeaver Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I haven't been having any issues with it @Jason Carr. In fairness though, I haven't had any issues with it for quite some time. I used WMP when the two were first implemented as it seemed to be a bit more consistent than VLC but more recently I haven't really noticed much of any difference between the two (which is a good thing, because WMP has always worked fine for me). 2
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Thank you @Zombeaver. Hoping VLC is up to par now (sans for the missing videos happening occasionally) so we can put out the official release tomorrow.
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 I did just put out beta 10 guys to include the fixes we made in the live stream this morning. It's mostly just to prevent crashes when spamming switching views and entering games before the previous screen had refreshed. Also hoping this fixes any audio still playing issues with the VLC engine.
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 This is also the release candidate; I'm hoping to put out the official 6.8 release tomorrow morning.
Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2016 Author Posted August 22, 2016 Welp, here's another new beta. Found an issue with displaying the screenshots when videos don't exist, and also fixed some more crashes with spamming keypresses.
johnugamer Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Coming from Hyperspin I just gotta say I really appreciate all the work you put into this and the communication you provide the community with. Can't wait for the official release! Edited August 23, 2016 by johnugamer 5
Mute64 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 For a one man Dev team ( i think ) he preforms wonders, and same goes for Brad and Kristen on the tutorials and media side of things. 1
Mute64 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) here is the error if you are interested @Jason Carr i dont know how you have time to reply to so many people and work on LB at the same time lol, just a machine Edited August 23, 2016 by Mute64 1
Mute64 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I have been testing 6.8 Beta 11 now that i have found a temporary way around my updating problem. I have also been testing the VLC video option as well.. ive had 2 crashes in BigBox tonight, but im not sure what is causing it... possibly VLC?? I do some more testing and ill try to recreate the crash again, if it crashes again ill swap video players and see if i can get it to crash.. n if it doesn't i geuss that could meen it maybe caused by VLC. 1
Jason Carr Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Bah, still crashing, eh? Were they just crashes or did they have an error message along with them @Mute64?
Mute64 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 14 minutes ago, Jason Carr said: Bah, still crashing, eh? Were they just crashes or did they have an error message along with them @Mute64? No error msg unfortunately, i couldn't replicate it either... so im not sure what caused it.. ill try again tomorrow and see if i get any crashes while using VLC. 1
Jason Carr Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Gonna go ahead with the official release then. Let me know if anyone else is seeing any crashes and if they're able to replicate them.
CriticalCid Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Just updated to the official version and the issue I had with WMP is now gone Also the alignment propertys for the ImageVideoVIew element are now working, but only with WMP! Unfortunately, I have sound but no video with the VLC engine when I use these properties.
