Steams71 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm on the latest beta (6) My custom Arcade Marquee screens are no longer showing. It's using my default for all systems. I had created custom ones in the Community Theme Creator for my Arcade systems. The themes are still there when viewed in the CTC 2.3, BB just isnt using them. Any ideas how to fix this?

Any ideas how to fix this? Check Big Box Options > Marquee Screen, and make sure you have everything in there unchecked, and that you have Screen Hardware Compatibility Mode set to None. Let us know if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofrogg Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I just noticed that some of the thumbnails in the carousel seem to be very low quality/resolution. For example: You can see that the thumbnail for this screenshot is very blurry, but the actual image is fine. Is this expected? If so, could the resolution of the thumbnails be increased somewhat?

dreamy Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 @Jason Carr @C-Beats @faeran I just noticed that the source field in the game details panel is missing. The checkbox is ticked in the options. Also release date and some others are missing. I don't know if it was missing in the last beta, but it was there before the redesign of the game details panel.

Retrofrogg Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) @dreamy I can see the release date at the top in your screenshot. The view could be edited to move it down next to the other data if necessary. @faeran - does it make sense to have the "overview" tab heading when there are no other tabs present? Obviously when other tabs are present it does, but when they are not then it may be better to remove it as it seems a bit redundant Edited January 26, 2022 by Retrofrogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch. On a roll this time round! This is because of how those items were scaled, I have changes in place to help with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cineaste Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Am trying to install latest beta but it keeps downloading forever (300Mbit connection). It seemingly times out. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The installer should be in there. Just manually run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeSystem Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Amazing work on the new LaunchBox details panel. LaunchBox feels much more useful now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend reloading the prior version it was working on and see if it is in fact this beta. i have tested several machines with custom marquee images as well as custom marquee themes and see no issues. So it would be good for us to know if reverting to prior LB version your images work again. Are these just custom images in the Arcade-Marquee image folders or custom images using a custom GameMarqueeView.xaml? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to work it out with @Steams71. It wasn't related to custom marquee screens. 30 minutes ago, Retro808 said: I recommend reloading the prior version it was working on and see if it is in fact this beta. i have tested several machines with custom marquee images as well as custom marquee themes and see no issues.

This will be fixed in the next beta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofrogg Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 @dreamy - you had asked about the release date also, hence my reply. The source field does seem to be missing, but I suppose you could add it to the view manually if you know what you're doing. But it may just be an oversight on @faeran's part and might be fixable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can indeed add source and other fields manually in the GameDetailsView.xaml. I managed to add it back to @Mr. RetroLust's Neon Deluxe Theme (which i am using).

Retrofrogg Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Hmm...I thought I had fixed the "black bars at the sides of the video" issue by setting Previewbackground to "transparent" - that seemed to work and bars at the sides disappeared. Now I am noticing that for some video snaps, there are black bars at the top and bottom. When I open the video in VLC, these don't seem to be present, so I don't think they're part of the video. Is there another setting in the XML that needs to be changed to get rid of these bars? Edited January 27, 2022 by Retrofrogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
