Got an error when using MinimalX 6.1 theme

[kritvichu]

Hi folks,

I am new to BigBox. My screen is 1600x1200 (4:3). MinimalX theme seems to work on this ratio. I just downloaded MinimalX 6.1, unblocked the zip and Ao.Bigbox.Themer.dll, put MinimalX subfolder into ..\launchbox\theme\ folder, and ran it. When I switched to this theme, I got an error saying 'Could not load type 'Meta.Vlc.Wpf.VlcPlayer' from assembly 'Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows,...'.   I don't have VLC Player installed on my PC. I just used a PotPlayer. I believe BigBox already got VLC player built-in. When I ran other themes like Unified Redux, Unified Refried, CoinOps, and Bartop. They all worked fine. The startup video played normal, though from time to time, it only played sound with no picture. The platform videos played normal.   

So, I'm not sure why this MinimalX theme not work. Below are the error messages (one shows in BigBox screen theme and the second one shows right after closing the Bigbox);

The theme needs updating, but the creator hasnt been around these parts for a long time, so unfortunately i dont see that happening.
