superrob3000 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Just a heads up to anyone using an older version of the plugin. Versions 2.0.7 or earlier of the plugin might break when updating to LaunchBox version 13.1+ (or 13.1-beta-7+ if you are on beta releases). Just upgrade ThirdScreen to the latest version to avoid (or fix) the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 You haven't added dpi fixes yet, correct ? ... with latest releases that I mentioned previously. Still doing same thing in 2.0.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inemu Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Hey there. I have a feature request... Will there be a possibility to scale the Media and move to a different position on the Screen? I planned a Arcade Cabinet with 2 Monitors. The Main Monitor with the Game/Pinball Table that i play..... And on the Backglass i want to show the Marquee of the Arcade Games and the Platform Logo... and for Pinball i want to show the Backglass and the DMD... I need this for my Backglass Monitor and i dont want to make new marquee files for all of my games/pinball tables...... Hope you can understand me.....

I do have multi-panel support on my list of things to add. Essentially it would let you treat a single monitor as multiple screens each with their own set of media to display. I'm pretty sure that would cover what you want to do with showing both the game marquee and platform clear logo on one monitor. Can't promise if/when I'll get that implemented though.

superrob3000 Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 @inemu Also, with the plugin right now you could set the display type to "Bottom 1/2 cut off". It will then only use the top half of the monitor to display media and you could put your DMD on the bottom half if that is what you are trying to do.

Vicomte Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) This plugin is awesome! Thanks so much! My only feature request: An option to enable or disable a screen based upon whether or not a game is active. This would allow for max customization! My life would then be complete Edited January 24, 2023 by Vicomte Typo spelling fix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subsector Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Fantastic Plugin! This really adds more to the Launchbox/Bigbox experience!! I'm using 3 extra monitors i had collecting dust and now i find my gaming setup is much more immersive with this plugin. If possible, i would like the ability to use transparent overlay files with each display... LCD displays are great but i like the retro look of older CRT displays and want to use a scanline overlay for the marquee and game logos. Thanks so much for your work on this project, it really is wonderful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll add it as an available media item (Videosnap followed by Marquee image) for both platforms and games. Have you had a chance to add 'Videosnap followed by Marquee image' as an available media item (or is it still being considered for implementation)? I do not remember seeing anything in the release notes as of yet. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artiss Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Hey Rob, I tried installing this plugin but now LB wont startup fully, I copied the 3 .dll files to the plugin folder and copied the mediainfo folder to the thirdparty folder. I'm on 13.2 and version 2.0.11 of your plugin. I have attached my LB logs. I also dont see any pen or touch devices in device manager. Any help would be appreciated.

Try going to windows->services and see if you have Wacom installed. If it listed there, then right click it and choose properties. Hit the Stop button to stop the service and then also change the startup type to Disabled. Edited March 4, 2023 by superrob3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for this awesome plugin. Question/feature request: It would be cool if it would rotate through the items you have selected in the game view: I have 3d boxes and control panel information, is there a way to have it show the 3d boxes for x number of secs then control panel information for x number of secs. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d8thstar Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 i gave this a try but i guess the pen thing you mentioned is stopping LB. i'll try disabling when i get home. Just curious, i do have a touch screen, would disabling that disable the touch screen? been waiting a long time for a plug in like this, thank you!

Unfortunately it might (but give it a try since i'm not 100% sure). I really have no idea why the plugin would conflict with the windows pen driver, but it's on my list of things to figure out.

d8thstar Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hey Rob, I looked for the wacom service and came up blank but LB still crashes when I try to start it. Just to confirm from your download: I took the folder in your "ThirdParty" folder and dropped it into the ThirdParty folder in my LB install. I took the three files in your plugin folder and dropped them into the LB plugin folder. Did I do something wrong? Thank you sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
