Purpl3City Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hey love this build!! But when I downloaded the standard and the plugin version I go into big box it shows up in the themes selection but when I click on it nothing happens. So I followed the simple instructions changing the video selection to VLC still nothing. I would really appreciate the help, I went to the facebook group it told me to leave a comment on forums also someone replied that windows might be blocking a plugin? I don't know but if some one can help me again I would be greatly appreciated Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadonate Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I don't see the Plugin version listed in the downloads, was that removed? Is there any way to get the background videos to rotate randomly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argo Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Hi, Great Theme Just one problem, ever since 9.4, the selector color from the options list,letters bar,game details etc that was red is now back to default blue. It's like the theme ignore the style xaml. Edited February 13, 2019 by argo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Oh no, we can't loose this theme to any of the new updates that have happened. It's one of the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 @nadonate, The plugin version has been removed. @argo and @damageinc86, the theme wont be lost, @keltoigael needs to update that specific part of it however and is already aware of the issue. Just have a little patience. Critical Cid just updated his Critical Zone theme because of the same reason and this is a skin of that theme, so needs to be updated also.

LogicalEgo Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I have updated CityHunter 2 to work with the new theming changes to BigBox. I also revisited some of my older larger video files and re-encoded them to use h265 and save some space/bandwidth. Unfortunately you will have to re-download the theme to be able to use CityHunter 2 with LB/BB 9.4. The positive now is that CityHunter 2 is only a 40mb download including the original CityHunter background. Changes should be up soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is VLC the preferred big ox media player now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say he leans more towards VLC, I am currently using VLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC can be slightly more resource-intensive, but also tends to result in smoother transitions, assuming the hardware can keep up. WMP may be stripped from future versions of Windows for all we know, and it also requires third-party codecs for many of the videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not of course Jason Carr. i had a pretty powerful PC, i thought...but in older versions i could not use VLC, for whatever the reason was, it didnt like my system at all. So i used WMP it worked flawlessly for me, with the side effects of adjusting volumes and such in bigbox made no difference. (they only work in VLC). I know have the new updated VLC, and the playback is so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that the new version of VLC fixed issues for some people it wasn't working for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalEgo Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I have gotten a lot of messages about what font I used for the Clear Logos, it is called Road_Rage and is now included in both the Banners and Clear Logos zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistler NL Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) When I boot up in Bigbox using this theme the background video does not play. When I enter and exit the Bigbox menu, only then, it starts playing or when I browse to the games list it also triggers the background video and after that it plays throughout the theme as normal. Has anyone had this problem or knows what could be wrong here. Thanks Edited February 16, 2019 by Whistler NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
