LaunchBox 13.19 - Beta Thread

[drewjbx]

Having weird issues... going into a platform category goes straight into a random game's detail page. This is a disaster for me. 

What is best way to revert back to 13.18

[Charco]

The application freezes if using VLC.

I just update to 13.9 and let Bigbox run and after a couple hours it froze. I tried clicking the mouse and a windows error popped up saying Bigbox is not responding so I closed it. Hope this isn’t a common issue. I’ve ran Bigbox for hours previously with no problems.

Second time running it after the update and froze again after a little more than an hour. 

***Update - I was using WMP and switched to VLC but same issue after about 20 minutes. I've attached the log.

Are the headers for the versions missing when a playlist is sorted by version?

Before 13.19, every game had the content of the field "version" as a header in the list. but now there's only a grey line ...
(or am I missing a toggle option for this ?)

Believe this to be related to a bug found and resolved internally. The code passed to custom badge plugins passed null game references to the badge code which caused exceptions downstream causing that issue. Should be resolved in next release. Currently isn't a work around other than disabling the badge throwing the error.

I need someone to test something for me. I imported Arcade collection a while back but didn't include "Music" in the initial scrape. Now, when I try to select all games in the Arcade platform and use "Tools > Download > Update metadata and Media for Selected Games"  then select only Music, it downloads nothing. I've tried single games and get same reults, nada

Emu Sync finds and download. But it would be a nightmare renaming 2-3000+ files.

I never tried re-importing the collection to see if it would grab the music files on initial import, only tried after the fact.

Just wanted to add some additional information, I also tried using the Missing Media function and download missing videos and LB keeps crashing with this error:

Looks like there is a problem when LB has been open for a while, elements of the games details panel, like clear logo, media, etc... stop refreshing.  The clear logo can get stuck on one game even when selecting other games, and the media stays empty.  This is with the default theme.

*edit*  I also noticed when I close LB at that point it doesn't close and has to be task killed and seems to be using a large amount of memory in task manager.
