LogicalEgo Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Can you confirm this also with CritcalZone? It uses the same playback code. Also is the included background video being used? I just recently edited it and used h265 as a codec to save file size. Try another background video just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalEgo Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Updated the theme to 2.3 with some minor color tweaks to the styles xaml. If you have not updated now is a good time too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using the h265 verion right now and also tried another h264 video from your downloads which gives me the same result. Have not tried CriticalZone but I'll give it a try. It used to work just fine with the previous Cityhunter theme (I might have used the plug-in version not 100% sure). It's just odd it does play the background just fine after I enter/exit bigbox setting menu or when I browse all the way to a games list.

Also in CriticalZone it doesnt work. But why would it work after i enter/exit bigbox settings menu? could the startup video still have an lock on VLC? but that more of an bigbox issue then a theme issue i guess.

Whistler NL Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just discovered that when I wait after initial boot-up and then browse to a platform games list or enter/exit BB setting the video isn't playing from the beginning, so it seems the video was actually playing all along but just doesn't show. Platform category background just stays black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whistler NL Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 On lastest BB 9.4/9.5 it still worked but When I updated to the lastest CityHunter it broke it. I might have been using the plugin version of CityHunter theme which now is no longer available. I don’t know the difference between the two but it worked fine for me.

The plugin version has been removed because it always caused some serious stability issues, and also no longer works properly with the latest version of Big Box.

LogicalEgo Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Sorry for the late reply but @Jason Carr is right, just replace the Background.mp4 with whatever video you want but make sure to give it the same name. One day hopefully a solution will come we can use the randomized backgrounds again. I would personally like to see it make a come back.

eirrocmh Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Randomized backgrounds would be awesome, i didnt even know it was an old feature that got scrapped, i like the idea though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not scrapped, just taken out for a while to work out some issues. It will be back one day for sure. @eatkinola is already working on redoing the plugin and I have older versions of the theme I can refit to make it work at some point.

Invisible Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I love everything about this theme, but is there a way to change the 2nd Platfrom Wheel to just remove all the metadata at the bottom, and shift the video down a bit so it's centered to the right of the wheel? I'm wanting to have the platform view just be nothing but the video on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
