Tiny videos (Unified Lite)

Recommended Posts

Time has come for me to go all in on LaunchBox for Android :) But i am struggling with videos. Using the Unified Lite theme for games list, the videos are tiny (not always though, on rare occasions they are stretched to fill the frame, which makes me think that this is not caused by the video's resolution). See attached screenshot. The videos plays nicely on my Windows BigBox, and i exported the systems from Windows LaunchBox. I also tried installing VLC for Android, just to check if it made any difference. I tried to enable/disable hardware decoding in the VLC app but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

My LaunchBox is fully licensed and running the latest version (both Android and Windows). My device is an Odin 2 Pro (fully updated). All LauchBox data resides in the internal memory.

Maybe someone here can assist me in my quest to have the videos fill up the frame? I have a feeling that i am missing something obvious :D

I came to realize that this is not related to the theme as such, because i discovered the same effect in the standard views. Here is an example, first with small video:

And then with the right size:

I really hope that there is an easy fix for this, that just passed by me under my nose :D

Today i did a full factory reset of my Odin 2 Pro, and then i re-installed LaunchBox version 1.16. Then i did a fresh export of my Atari 2600 library and copied it to my Odin 2 Pro, and the issue with video size is back again :(

Some more testing:

* Videos does not loop.
* When entering a gamelist, the entry in focus will often not play it's video. But if i move up or down the game list and then move back, the video plays as expected.

This is v alid for video "thumbnails". I have not tested this behavior using videos in the background.

Hi @Xyb0t thanks for the details report here and apologies for the issues caused here. We have just released a new beta for Android, details on which can be found here:
 

There were a bunch of changes made there, which may inadvertently affected this. Can you please let me know if you see this issue on the latest beta? If so, let me know and we'll try to nail this down for you.

Cheers,

  • Thanks 1
