Jason Carr Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 @Maddoc1007 @Nielk1 Thank you guys so much for working through those theme designer issues. It makes perfect sense that we need to add a reference to the Default theme project to the new plugins DLL. I'll get that fixed here shortly (but of course it won't automatically fix any existing plugin code). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, that makes sense. It's possible that we may have a discrepancy where images are evaluated differently between the two (maybe one includes region folders and one doesn't?); just a guess. I will look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is most definitely the best sleuthing I've seen in a while, @DOS76. You're amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Beta 6 is out guys! I believe I've solved the lack of screenshots bugs when not showing a video, and also the startup threading bugs that were occasionally happening since the startup performance improvements. But plugins have still been the focus here. There are two more plugin types now: ISystemEventsPlugin and ISystemMenuItemPlugin which will allow you to plugin into startup, shutdown, etc. events (the former) and add items to the Big Box System/LaunchBox Tools menu (the latter). I've also added a bunch of additional documentation: http://pluginapi.launchbox-app.com Thanks everyone! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Also, I will be doing a surprise live stream some time this afternoon (in the next couple hours probably) so I can test and demonstrate some of the community's plugins. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddoc1007 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) @Jason Carr Great beta update transitions between platform and game categories in BigBox what a speed improvement almost seamless. Thanks for fixing the screenshots in the <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" working as before. Your probably going to sat what the #*#* but would it be possible for you to add a new <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector that worked like when it was broke ie:- that doesnt do the screenshots when using background video as this would be great for views where you did not want to see screenshots in the small video placement area when using background video in other words just add the broken version of the <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" where it wasnt showing screenshots as a new <transitions:TransitionPresenter and could you make it have the stretch functionality. KUDOS on another great update. Edited May 13, 2017 by Maddoc1007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysArcade Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Wow. Latest beta, everything feels so snappy. Switching between games in BB - transitioning between videos seem to be much faster than before. You're doing something right @Jason Carr! Keep up the good work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin55 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) Jason, I updated to the latest beta version 7.10 beta 6 and I'm getting constant crashes. This was never an issue before but now when ever I run a Dosbox game if I press the menu button on my Xbox One Controller Bigbox instantly crashes to an error message, it doesn't seem to matter which game or what key joytokey has been set to press with the menu button. I should mention I am also using Rocketlauncher. This problem so far only seems to happen when ever I run a Dosbox game, I have not done major tests but MAME seems to work fine. This was never an issue in any of the previous releases? Any help appreciated...? EDIT: OK so I found the problem, some mix up with Controller Companion which I was using to launch Bigbox, weird was working fine before....Anyway I would consider this problem solved.

Jason Carr Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Awesome to hear, thank you guys. @Lmagnus87 That is definitely planned. @Maddoc1007 I do need to get back to those dreaded video issues this week, so I will devote a day to it at least. It should be easy enough to disable screenshots with a property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
