COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.8.0 is now available


Recommended Posts

Hi @y2guru - Firstly, thanks for the awesome application. I've been very much enjoying editing some themes up, some I hope to release one day.

I seem to have an issue with the 1.0.8.0 release. Unfortunately, I know longer see available videos displayed in the editor. Everything else is ok (images etc) but not videos.

I've tried deleting and re-importing the videos, changing the file permissions on the video files, running as admin, running 1.0.8.0 from clean install with the default themes that comes with the download, re-installing Launchbox / BigBox to default location (i have it installed on a 2nd drive with my emulations / rom files, but no luck at this stage.
However good news, when publishing the theme - everything works as expected.

No issues seeing the videos's within the 1.0.7.9 editor either.

This seems specific to the Video files only (I'd tried with both 'Selected Item Video and 'User Defined Videos')

Is there anything else I can help here to diagnose the issue?

This appears when I start the application.
I set the author's name, and choose bigbox.exe and click ok, then this screen appears

ok, then i suspect i know where the error is coming from.

please zip up the LaunchBox\Data folder and send it to me directly in a personal email.    I will debug in a few hours (lunchtime) and if i find the issue i will send you a version to confirm that it works at which point ill post an update on the forum

 

Thanks

Dave

Good morning y2guru ......
Thank you very much for the corrections you made in your application .....
I just want to remember a problem that I mentioned before, about the images: Favorite, broken, complete ......
It's just that they still don't appear at the time you select them, you still have to do that scheme shown in video 1.

Watch the video for you to understand.
I want you to stay in the same way as video 2

video 1 is as it is, video 2 is as it should.

Because it gets more fluid and better

VIDEO 1

VIDEO 2

Hi y2guru, very sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately work is currently very busy.

Anyway, I've done some more testing on this machine, another machine and on a virtual machine.
This issue appears to be specific to the machine I use for editing themes, with the other systems working fine. 

With that being the case, I'm going to blow the machine away on the weekend and not waste anymore of your time.
No one else is reporting the same issue either, so I'll take it as something on my end specifically.

Thank again for your hard work on this. 
Appreciate it. ?

All good y2guru. I've been in IT for nearly 20 years, so you can guarantee either a reboot or a reload generally fixes everything. Ha ha ha!!
Thanks mate.
