7.8-beta-1 Released

[deliyuerek85]

Hey Jason,

all the new features are amazing that you keep adding into Launchbox/BigBox. Keep up the great work.

 

I have one question. Could it be possible that, if you don't add any video path to a playlist, that launchbox automatically use the videos of all the games that are added to the playlist? Because now you need to add a copy of all the videos of all games to the specific playlists video folder.

Ehhh... that's how it works already. It's showing all my videos for games in a playlist like normal and I haven't duplicated anything. I mean you don't have to duplicate covers and other media and they show up fine too. If this is what's happening for you, something isn't working as it should.

Sorry, I meant the platform video of the playlist. In the normal platforms you see all the videos in the folder randomly as platform videos. You can still add all the videos to the video folder that is specified for the playlist. But than I would have to copy all the videos of the games that are in the playlist to this folder. It would be more practical if Launchbox would show only the videos of the games that are in the playlist/platform.

It's not a big thing for me but it would be nice if it could be done.

[Zombeaver]

I think the idea is that this allows you to add a video/clear logo/etc. that's specifically for the playlist. I think most people probably use platform-specific "intro" videos (or "theme videos" as they're generally referred to around here) as the platform videos rather than random snaps so with playlists you could use a playlist-specific intro/theme video.

I do understand what you're saying now though. If that's not possible currently it probably should be.

Hi @FistyDollars

This issue has been there since the Categories were introduced, but now it seems to have gotten worse.
This is all tied in with the ALL NONE EXISTS and GAME COUNTS settings
You diddn't notice it before probably because you had ALL enabled but GAME COUNTS off.
But now the problem is worse and you are seeing it even with GAME COUNTS off.

So, next question: is it fixable at the user level, or do we need to wait for a fix from @Jason Carr?

 

[spycat]

It seems to be a bug.

To get rid of it in the interim, you can either turn off ALL NONE EXISTS, or else turn on all three of the options..

Got the same error being posted... thought i'd let you know

Would help if I got the version number right, *and* if the forums would let me rename a topic. Sigh.

Go to the playlist in LB, select the game you want to delete and then press delete or right click on it and delete. It will ask you if you want to actually remove it from your collection as well. Select "no" unless you want it deleted from your library entirely.

Weirdly, it looks like I can also fix it by turning on Counts, even if only one of the options is checked.

[angelobodetti]

LB froze and when I rebooted I get "populating playlists" for an hour now. I've tried a few times.

Also I deleted a game from within a playlist and it was removed from LaunchBox altogether, not just the playlist. But now I'm hoping my LB instance isn't effed since it won't load past this message. 

[neil9000]

Try deleting the playlist xml from the data folder.

[angelobodetti]

I had to run a few errands so I left it alone. Took about 2 hours but eventually worked itself out. 

Still not sure how to remove a game from a playlist. 

[Jason Carr]

Hey all, beta 2 is up and it should fix the error that people are seeing in Big Box when entering playlists; let me know if not, of course. For the other issues in this thread, I'll get back to them on Monday at the latest (if I don't get more time to tackle them this weekend).

[Zombeaver]

Take a break Jason! We'll survive!
