Problem with BB/LB and language

[flores9]

Hi @Jason Carr, today I update LB to last version, change some platforms and run Bigbox, but it crashed. Later I try to launch LB with this error message.

I try to rollback to the 6.9 version, copying the .exe files (BB and LB) to my directory, and it works, but now the language is set to english, but in the options menu it is to Spanish. I tried to change to English and restart, and then change to Spanish and restart, but it is still in English.

It checked the XML file and the language option is set to "es".

It´s probably that my XML is corrupted?, any ideas?. Thanks.

I forgot to say that I update other time to the last beta version and it crashed again.

I read some problems with the plays.tv, but I dont have anything of plays.tv in my computer.

Hi @flores9, sorry to hear about this issue. It does sound like corrupted XML somehow. Are you able to restore a backup XML from the backups folder? Are you on a 6.10 beta now or the 6.9 official?

[flores9]

The crash only happens qith the 6.10 beta -1.

With the 6.9 official it runs, but I can´t set the language settings.

@Jason Carr is really strange.

I tried this:

    - Restore a full copy of the LB entire directory, that is on the 6.9 beta 20 version. And it doesn´t have last changes on platforms and roms that I did yesterday

    - Update LB to 6.9 official, and it works

    - Update LB to 6.10 beta 2, and it crashs

So I think the problem not is in the XML file. It´s probably that the error is in another file or folder?, metadata folder? . Or can be a problem of the new beta version (1 and 2)?

@Jason Carr I think I Know the problem.

When I restore to a previous version, I deleted all the games and a platform called "Commodore Amiga ADF", it dissapear from LB and I restart.

When I launch LB, it appears again, with all the games. But when I try to change the name, it appears duplicate in the Manage Platform Window. And then LB crash in the next boot.

Where are the information about platforms?, only in the Launchbox.XML file?, Can I delete manually?

@flores9, the reason for these issues is that the LaunchBox.xml file is split up for beta 1 and beta 2 and the Data subfolder is used instead of the LaunchBox.xml file in the LaunchBox folder. Try deleting the Data subfolder while LaunchBox is closed and then try the latest beta. Something is going awry when splitting up the LaunchBox.xml file that I need to address. Let me know if you figure anything out in that regard.

Actually, it might be helpful for me if you were able to zip up both your LaunchBox.xml file and your entire Data folder, as then I could look to see what might be going on. I'd really appreciate that. You can email a zip file to jason@unbrokensoftware.com if you can get them zipped up. We do have a glitch here that I definitely need to address, but it's been hard for me to identify. Thanks!

@Jason Carr email sent.

[Jason Carr]

Thank you @flores9; I got one email but I noticed it's 1 of 2 and I haven't received the other one. It could just be still sending though.

[Jason Carr]

@flores9 Sadly I still haven't gotten the second email. Hit me up when you can so we can get this fixed. Thanks!

[Jason Carr]

Thanks @flores9, I got your second email and managed to figure out the issues and get them fixed. Much appreciated. Let me know if you are still seeing any issues with the latest beta.

Hi @Jason Carr, I tried to clean my data folder and all it´s working correctly, with the beta 2. I´ll test the last beta tonight.

Only I have a little problem in LB when I try to select an image for the background, it not change, and always I have the default LB background, but in the options menu is selected another.

[Jason Carr]

@flores9 I'll need more details in order to look into that background image issue. Check the image priorities options in the LaunchBox settings.
