wmp not working and ffmpeg crashes the launchbox and bigbox

[RetroGamer1]

even when i view in fullscreen or use bigbox

Happened to me also because im running the RTX 3060 card...  install beta version which fixes the bigbox launch, but for me startup videos and some game videos dont work now. Seems like the switch to Windows media player killed things for a lot of people, especially if your running an RTX 30 series video card.

 

Anywho... its a known issue and lots of people are stuck on the beta 1 version waiting for a fix that will hopefully come soon... or a reversion back to vlc player

To be clear, you opted into betas (Tools - Options) and installed 13.24-beta-1?  (vs. the latest official release 13.23)

Humm..   well you can always roll back to an earlier version of launchbox and wait for a fix i guess, just make sure you backup your data folder.   You could also try backing up your data folder and doing a clean install on a different drive (leave your main install alone for safe keeping) and then just moving the data folder over (as you may have a corrupted a file) and see if that helps, you would just have to redownload all your images again basically.
