I have worked around the issue by deleting the folder manually but wondering if there is a permanent fix PS. awesome job Jason replying to every post in this 25 page thread! I've been getting the same error with the same workaround. Other than that the app has been great and extremely easy to setup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mu144 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 After playing around in beta state I have kinda bloated my phone with too many systems/games. Was wondering what is the best way to start over, if I delete everything and reinstall the app will I run into issues, I understand I'll have to fiddle a bit to line up the emulators. But I'm wondering about screwing the app up etc. I'm assuming if I delete everything it will be clean to start over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest way to do it is to just delete the /Android/data/com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox folder. Then it'll be a completely fresh install.

Jason Carr Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hey all, first off thank you so much for helping with the beta testing. The official release has been very smooth and I definitely owe that to you guys, so thank you very much. I wanted to mention that if you have previously left a review on the Play Store, it has all been private feedback, unfortunately, because Google does not allow beta testers to give public feedback. If you'd like to review the app publicly (and I would be very grateful), you first need to click this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox From there, click the button to opt out, and then you will finally be able to leave a public review here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox I'm sorry for being so forward about this; I typically wouldn't come out and ask for reviews lol, but Google has complicated this whole process so much that I felt that it was probably a good thing to clear up. Thanks again, everybody. Just put out a desktop beta, and I'm back to Android development for the rest of the afternoon. Edit: Don't worry about uninstalling the beta version of the app and reinstalling the public version, as the site says. There's no need as they are one and the same for the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deesko Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I'm not sure about this, but the shield tv doesn't work correctly. Many times when the app is launched, it doesn't navigate to the platforms section. It only allows me to enter the menu, select anything, but not the platforms/games. This isn't a problem of the controller, as mentioned before, since it happens even if the controller is offline. Sometimes the app functions properlly, but most of the time it doesn't. I have the shield tv newest version, not pro. It is in the most current version, as is the LBA version (.21) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the "NVIDIA SHIELD TV Gaming Edition" which should also be the latest version of the Shield. The listing on Amazon doesn't say Pro: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1NT9Y6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 So not sure if we have the same one or not, but something is going awry, as my testing and development is done with that device. I know we have quite a few other users who are using various Shield TV devices without issues as well. What are you using for storage? Do you have the exported folder on internal storage or a USB device? What version of Android are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deesko Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hello Jason. I have the latest version provided by nVidia. And it is the same hardware as the one you have. I use an external USB pen. The thing is... it works sometimes. But sometimes I have to close the application (in the menu) and restart the app about 10 times before it works as normal. I also had the problem with white and black screens as others pointed out before, but that is all sorted out by now, only this problem remains (since the first beta available).

I also had the problem with white and black screens as others pointed out before, but that is all sorted out by now, only this problem remains (since the first beta available). My guess then at this point is that it's somehow related to the USB drive. Can you try exporting a small collection to the internal storage on the device? I use an external USB hard drive (Western Digital Passport) on mine without issues, but if there's some kind of issue with the USB drive, then that would rule it out. Something is clearly different between our setups though, because that is definitely not normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deesko Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hello Jason. I'm sorry, but I guess you misunderstood my problem (or probably I didn't explain it the best I could). The problem I have now is that I can't navigate the platforms list, not that they're not there. What I mean is that nVidia Shield TV isn't a phone with touch screen support, the controllers have to work on their own. When the app starts, there's no platform pre-selected, and the controller buttons/stick doesn't select neither go down/up on the platforms list, only the left button allows to access the menu. Even if I select "Platforms" on the menu, it still doesn't select any platform, and the buttons/stick still can't go up/down to select any.

I remember seeing that once a while back. I'm not sure why you're seeing it more than I am in my testing, but I do have some ideas and I'll look into it. Thanks for helping me understand.

I just don't understand how is it that this happens sometimes almost a dozen times in a row, and then out of a sudden, it works ok for 2, 3 times.

I think I have it fixed, but the problem is, I've only seen it once in my 45 minutes of playing with it. So now I don't know if it's fixed or not lol.

When it wasn't working a bunch of times in a row, were you closing out of the app every time via the app switcher? Do you know if it was showing the loading splash screen on the times that it wasn't working? Or was it just when coming back to the app instantly?

The power button works the same as the home button, and you don't accidentally hit one of those tiny buttons on the bottom when you meant to hit a different one. Nah no Xbox One controller but I have a spare DS4, maybe I'll try that. I'm wondering if you're right about the right stick because I noticed on some emus that the right stick acts as the mouse, the pointer will drift (usually up). I have read alot that these STV controllers can't take the pounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 @deesko I just uploaded version 0.22 to the Play Store, and I'm hoping it'll fix that controller focus issue. That said, it's so hard to replicate that I can't be certain. It'll take a bit for Google to approve the update (few hours maybe), and then after the update you can let me know if you see that issue again. Thanks. 7 minutes ago, PiperCalls said: Nah no Xbox One controller but I have a spare DS4, maybe I'll try that.

I have read alot that these STV controllers can't take the pounding. Probably worth a shot; I would guess that PS4 controllers should work. I am 100% positive that's the issue in your case, especially since you're seeing pointer drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'll have a go at it later today and let you know how it went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
