lexx Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Hey hey I'm relatively new to the Launchbox and I just bought a premium license. Unfortunately I have a little problem with a Theme - or more like with the background video that comes with it. It is the CriticalZone City Hunter Theme, that was featured on the Launchbox Youtube-Channel about two days ago. I've set the Theme to CriticalZone - Cityhunter and set the Video Playback to VLC, but the background still remains black. I also tried to set the Playback to the Media-Player, but with no luck. Is there anything that I've missed? Something that I've not seen? Is that background bound to anything? Any help would be appreciated. <2 lexx Edit: Maybe something wrong in the Themes\CriticalZone - CityHunter\ThemeSettings.xml? (Just looked up entries with 'Video' in it).

CriticalCid Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Have you tried to change the platforms view? Not every view supports the custom background video. Go to your BigBox options -> Views and change the platform view to another one. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Cid has had to answer this question an awful lot lately maybe an initial setup could be added to BigBox with checkboxes letting them setup their theme, image and video options before the app runs the 1st time. Plex Home Theater app has a similar setup in the beginning when it runs where you set your speaker type and a few settings. Just an idea to help new users with common issue that are reoccurring.

lexx Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 I actually was looking for a similar topic, but I did not see one. Sorry about that. I wasn't aware that background Videos only work with some of the platform views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
