Big Box - Crashing while in attract mode

Any progress on this issue. I found this thread as I am new to BigBox and have noticed after being in attract mode, the videos first start to lag behind (I.e. The video won’t match the game selected or the graphics on the screen) and then eventually just freezes altogether. I must then restart BigBox.
 

Running the latest version with the CoinOps Redux theme. Tried all suggestions (no flv videos, using VLC, image quality medium, no transitions) to make it run better but nothing seems to help. 

I love the ease of the program. After transitioning from HyperSpin, I was set up and running in no time. Bought the lifetime subscription to support development. I really hope I don’t need to find a new front end again. Thanks in advance.

Just emailed back and forth a bit with Brian again, my crash has returned - kind of?  I updated to the newest version, then experienced the Attract crash, then reverted to my last stable install but the crash remains. The weird thing is I have an older PC upstairs and when I put my BB drive in there it will still run for days.  So there's some hardware conflict of some kind happening somewhere.  For now I'm just leaving attract off when I want to run it for long periods.  Sucks that you don't get the attract mode but it's much better than having no front end active when you want to walk up and play.
