grim. Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hello, I just purchased lifetime subscriptions to LaunchBox Premium and EmuMovies an hour ago and I'm logged into both on LaunchBox (with the license installed). This is my first time trying to download any videos and I'm only able to see a few of them when I click preview on the list. When I click on most of them, I get VLC player launching and attempting to stream something but nothing happens. There isn't any particular brand that's causing trouble. Some BigBox and EmuMovies previews work, but most don't. I have tried messing with the default video settings on LaunchBox. It was set to Windows Media Player by default (weird) even though it wasn't launching that. I switched it to VLC default. It didn't work. I then went into Windows default program settings and switched all VLC defaults to Windows Media Player.........LaunchBox was STILL launching VLC to play the previews. I can't get it to preview on WMP and I don't know if that would even help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RetroLust Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Im always having the same issue with some of the videos, never mentioned it before though as I thought its because I live in europe and lag could be it, I found its faster to just download the files to see which style (by creator name) I like best and work around it like that not needing the preview function.

Retro808 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Previews have not really worked well for quite some time now. Not sure if it was ever looked at. Not really anything a setting can correct from the users end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucard971 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 1 Year Later, previews are still borked. Status bar at the bottom of VLC just bounces back and forth. On top of that, some of the downloads in BigBox are super slow now. Might be time for a server upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason mentions one issue as to why some videos do not work here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
