Here's hoping #28 makes it in before the next poll...

The cutoff is at #20, so unfortunately no.

Hi Jason. You've made huge inroads to the last poll list, and with 11.8 another two have been chalked off. Out of interest, because I love the innovation, drive and determination you have for continuous improvement of LaunchBox and BigBox, what is your current plan in terms of timing of the next poll? 

Not exactly sure at this point. We do have a few things we want to get in in addition to the last two poll items before putting out a new poll.

I know that this is not a feature mentioned but the scratching of game data in another language would really be the absolute functionality of this magnificent software that I love so much, for my part I translate my game files one by one and to the limit an option that retrieves users' game files and centralizes them in the Game DB database so that the whole community can benefit from them

sincerely lauchbox is the most successful and most relevant front end for roms collector i do not regret my lifetime license but this little extra would be great in the near future or if not to be able to use the screen scraper translations in the launchbox without What a mess I hope not to be too off topic anyway thank you for this great job

sorry for my english i'm french and i don't express myself very well in english

This is probably crazy, but I'd love to see you guys develop a media player akin to Kodi/Plex. You've got Launchbox/Bigbox and Musicbox. Add a media player to that portfolio and provide an all in one interface for the three would be a dream come true. 

I can kind of get there by adding a platform called Media (or whatever) and put shortcuts to Netflix, Amazon Prime video and Kodi. The kodi shortcut is very finicky for some reason. Works one day, not the next. 

 

You guys develop awesome apps. I'd love to see an all in one app like this. That way I could get the same functionality of my Nvidia ShieldTV combined with the awesomeness of Bigbox and Musicbox all in one Windows based HTPC.
