theme CriticalZone / CriticalZone - BlueBox

[andyco47]

i think i have but dont no which one i need mate.

[CriticalCid]

Alright, try to install the K-Lite codec pack and see if that helps. The basic version should be sufficient for this. http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

[andyco47]

thanks will try that mate.

[CriticalCid]

@bundangdon If it isn’t the video engine than it’s most likely the transitions. Maybe try out my transition settings and see if that helps you:

[CriticalCid]

Awesome! Good to know that this helps, will add that information to the ReadMe

[andyco47]

tryed the codec and  not worked still wont loop mate.

[CriticalCid]

What video engine are you using in Big Box? If you use WMP than I would suggest to change it to VLC.

Also the K-Lite codec pack may no helped you with your looping problem but it will most likely solve the problem on your other machine.

[andyco47]

ok thanks will give it a go in useing WMP on both machines at the moment.

[andyco47]

tryed on other machine with LB 6.9 and still not playing background video

[CriticalCid]

Try to restart your 6.9 machine and see if that helps. If that still doesn’t work, can you open the “Platforms.mp4” video file in “..\LaunchBox\Themes\CriticalZone(v1.0)\Videos\BackgroundVideo\” with Windows Media Player and test if it can play it?

[CriticalCid]

I have restructured and updated the download description and ReadMe file. They now include most of the questions/problems which came up in this thread so far.

[andyco47]

plus it still not playing at all on my LB 6.9 version.

[CriticalCid]

I’m so sorry mate but I really have absolutely no clue how to help you with that as it works perfectly fine on all of my machines and I have no idea how to troubleshoot your problem furthermore.

[andyco47]

ok mate no probs thanks for ur time to help matey.

I'm actually getting the same video issue he is. Game videos play just fine, but system videos don't play at all in certain views. The view which looks like the traditional BigBox default plays them just fine (VLC player), but if I switch views, the videos don't play. Not sure why.

Are you sure you have the same issue? andyco47 had problems with the animated background, not the platform videos.

You probably have platform background videos activated. Just deactivate that in your options and it should work as expected for you

@CriticalCid 

@Maddoc1007 Like I said, you can’t see it with my background video as the video fades to black at the end of the video. Here’s the unedited version of the video without the fading for you to try

Downloaded the unedited version and placed in my theme no problems or black borders on video KUDOS to you.

[CriticalCid]

Weird... But nice to hear that it's just working for you

[CriticalCid]

I have a little service note for you guys. The new option for the Wheel Minimum Speed in the latest Beta seems to improve the performance furthermore. Especially in the CoverFlow views (which frequently lagged a little). Reduce the value to 200 or 300 Milliseconds and the CoverFlow and Wheel Views should be a lot more responsive!

So you will hopefully get a complete flawless experience with my theme if you combine that with my suggested Fade options (point V in the download description / ReadMe).
