Lilypad Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hi All, My Bigbox startup video works sometimes... I always get the sound - but sometimes I get the video and sometimes I don't. After a machine reboot - I don't think I've ever seen the video... but then I exit BB and restart and I get it... Any ideas? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 That's really weird. No ideas on that. But i'll add to this, that my startup vids still do not stop when I press a key, and If they run longer than it normally takes for my launchbox to start, then the video cuts off at that time, and starts launchbox. So luckily I have found a video that is almost the exact time it takes to start launchbox, so there is no cutting off. But sometimes I'd like to press a key and just get to launchbox, but I guess it doesn't matter if launchbox still hasn't even loaded underneath it.

That is how it is supposed to work, if you press a button it will stop the video once Bigbox has loaded. 59 minutes ago, Lilypad said: I always get the sound - but sometimes I get the video and sometimes I don't. I see this from time to time also, Jason is aware of it but its proving very tricky to track down thee cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilypad Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm assuming it is some sort of multithreading/windows service issue where the sound driver is up.. but the video driver is still loading or something during the bigbox startup.. some weird race conditon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The startup videos are using the VLC that comes with the launchbox install just like the platform/game videos inside bigbox, and yeah that certainly is very plausible, but not everyone see's it and it seems to be completely random, so is proving tricky to isolate.

Lilypad Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm sure.. If I can help somehow.. let me know.. Is there a logging feature or something? It happens pretty much all the time after a clean boot for me.. I'll try a couple of things to generate more symptoms. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernandoq03 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 @neil9000 tienes idea del porqué al cargar BigBox el sonido de inicio suena trabado o entrecortado casi siempre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Button presses have never stopped a video for me. But the video does cut itself off if it runs past the point when BB would have regularly loaded without a video. But shouldn't it let the video finish playing even if BB is loaded underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
