@Jason Carr Those of us with collections already imported, is there a way to scan and add the new playlists without having to reimport? Is this something that is planned, hopefully before 7.8 final? Reimporting my super collection is more or less off the table right now as it stands.

Agree, I think his solution was that people could share playlists. I would hate to miss out on the "arcade classic" playlists because I imported my stuff last year.

There seems to be an bug when trying to download images/media for me. None of the boxes are showing to be able to select or de-select things.

Just a guess, but maybe that's due to having Windows DPI scaling enabled? At least that looks like the 125% font instead of the default.

@Jason Carr beta 9 did not do anything for the platform sorting. Maybe it is some kind of low level error as you talked about in the stream.

I've tried to add all my platforms/playlists to one single "category" and then I use the "platform category" view. I also tried changing the platforms sort titles. In this view, whatever I do, the sorting always work as expected. The sorting is also fine in BigBox. It's only the "platform" view in LB that has the sorting issue.

 

My platform view is all out of order since b9, im 99% sure it was ok before.....

 

EDIT: Disabling and re-enabling "Show counts" in the options menu rearranges them into the right order.

That's interesting, that worked for me too.

@Jason Carr do you have any idea why disabling and enabling "Show counts" can fix the sorting?

Hi :) Just a question for the beta testers here! In the current release version, when using BigBox, if I change views (the function on the Back button on the Xbox 360 controller, don't remember which keyboard key it is), either platform or game list views, after maybe four or so changes then other views (seems to be random) get blanked out; it can be either the platform or game list views, or more critically even the options menus that this happens to. I can still hear sound from videos; just can't see anything, and if this does hit the options menu, then I need to hit X to exit and restart.

Is this a memory leak or something that the program's forgetting (maybe redundant :) )? Something with transitions going wrong? I guess the big question here is, is this experienced or noticed by others and is it being fixed in these betas? It's no biggie for me, but the disadvantage is I can't be changing views too often (or potentially even making use of the view-per-platform feature).

Thanks :)

the switch to playlist dosent work for me.  

it may be by current design that it cant be assigned to a controller ? becuse i cant.

but i can assign it to my keyboard but when using the button nothing happens. this seems to be the case with all the new options added at the same time. :S

Same here, when I try to add a controller button I just get left with a press any button dialogue, nothing works though.

Awesome! Can't wait to try this tonight! Thanks for implementing the view switch!

Out of curiosity, did you ever have a chance to fix the additional app emulator + specified command line parameters bug? I don't remember seeing anything noted about it in subsequent updates so I hadn't tried it again.

Also, I did finally get all of the 199X videos uploaded into the downloads section so they should be good to go to add into the built-in downloader.

On a related note, it occurred to me the other day that we might need a separate download category and forum section for playlist media. I made a thread in the platform media forum for playlist clear logos that I'll be working on in the future but it might be a good idea to have a new section for these in the forums and downloads.

Thanks @Zombeaver; I haven't fixed that bug yet but it is on my shortlist for before 7.8. I also have getting those vids in the app planned before 7.8 as well.

Per the playlist media, I'm tempted to rename the categories so that the existing Platforms categories support both platforms and playlists. Thoughts?

Odd. Is it still happening after a reboot? Does it only happen with certain DPI scaling settings? Is it happening for all grids with check boxes or just that one? I'm guessing it's because the rows are sized really small, but I'm not sure why that would be.

Hmm, that certainly shouldn't be happening and it's the first I'm hearing about it, so it must be some kind of odd fluke with your setup. Do you use Windows Media Player or VLC for the video playback engine?

VLC. Hmm... I don't know, because pretty much everything is standard setup as far as video, as far as I know anyway. Does BigBox rely on having the latest video drivers for best results, or should I download the K-Lite Codec Pack?
