Yalcin Yada Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Sometimes I get this error in BigBox. I think it usually occurs when the internet goes out. What is the exact cause and solution of this error? Occurs in Unified Theme. and All Versions. Please help me Edited November 11, 2021 by Yalcin Yada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fry Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Somehow it's looking for a file in D:\LaunchBox NoIntro\LaunchBox\Core\Themes\Unified\Styles\ListBoxItemStyle.xaml. It's strange that it's looking for theme data in the core folder. You can try deleting the unified theme folder at ..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified and redownload the unified theme.

Retro808 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Is that D drive an external drive? LB does look in the core folders as it uses symlinks to many files, even themes. If that D drive is an external drive and is ExFat and not formatted NTFS that would cause the issues since ExFat does not have some of the features NTFS does and can cause issues with symlinks.

neil9000 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Also i should add, we do not provide support for downloaded builds from the internet, which this obviously is with the path D:\Launchbox NoIntro, that's a colpipes build.

These at times can be a pain to troubleshoot. Depending on your answer to my questions though we should be able to figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Beats Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Likely cause is what Retro808 was asking about. Most of the time we see that error it's because the drive LaunchBox is on isn't formatted NTFS so the symlinks fail. If you can confirm that as the cause we can provide work arounds for you to help you get past this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the point of the issue though. Still need you to confirm what I asked about the actual issue so we can try to get you sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created the Launchbox 4TB external disk in the D drive and EXFAT I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to download but still the same problem. I noticed something, I think this error occurs when my internet connection is cut off. Could it have an internet connection?

We can't create the symlinks required to make the theme work. You can manually copy your \\LaunchBox\Themes folder to \\LaunchBox\Core\ and then mark the folder read-only. After that it should work. When downloading new themes though you will have to put them in both folders for the new theme to show up in Big Box and work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 That is the issue then. The recommended format is NTFS. You can test getting it to work by copying the Themes folder from \Launchbox\ to \LaunchBox\Core. Best option if you have space is to copy the data off that drive and reformat to NTFS.

I will copy both folders you mentioned and mark them as read-only. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will find another external disk and transfer my files to it and do as you say. I will convert it to NTFS format. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
