My BigBox build switched to screenshots instead of videos

My big box build is set up to show game video snaps in the background of each game but now it shows a screenshot of the box art. How do I fix this? Also, it shows a small screenshot underneath each game too and I had the screenshots off. Where do I go to take those off my build? I’m just now getting back into this. Everything was fine today and after I deleted my arcade library and re uploaded a few arcade games, the whole look of my build changed.

What theme? What images/videos and where they show is theme dependant. Also the priorities that you set in Launchbox are usually obeyed in Bigbox unless a theme has specifically been programmed to only show a specific image type. Details like the theme in use, as well as a image, would be hugely helpful rather than a vague description of what it used to look like and what it looks like now, that nobody can see.

Hey Neil - sorry about that, here’s a photo of before and what it now looks like. (Old one was a video background) new one is a screenshot of a game box and screenshot underneath the game as well) I don’t remember what theme I had to be honest. This one is pretty custom. Maybe criticalzone? And yes, in LB I have confirmed that the images I want to use are set as priorities but they aren’t showing in BB now. I did just update LB yesterday for the first time in a year. But nothing changed. everything changed for every console after I deleted and reinstalled arcade. (Which makes no sense)

I have found the problem but not the solution. In Launchbox folder under videos- ill click the system (in this case sega saturn) and ill click the sub folder Sega_Saturn
- MP4 HI QUAL and all my video snaps are there. I have 2 video snaps outside of that folder that i duplicated and placed under videos-Sega saturn (that way they show
up under the platform wheel) but the problem is, BB isnt recognizing the sub folder where all the snaps are, just the two videos I placed outside the sub folders
(those 2 videos show up when i scroll to them in the games screen) so im not sure what to do. If i copy paste all the video snaps and place them where the two videos at (that show up
on the platform section) they all work but then i get a million videos populating on the saturn selection screen and i dont want that, just the two that i put there.

So basically in short, bigbox isnt reading the sub folders where my video snaps are, just the main folder where i normally put the video snaps i want the platform wheels to see.
