Themes not showing Artwork or Video

[G5Pokefan]

I have the latest version of Launchbox and Bigbox with License. I wanted to try some of the themes in Bigbox. I downloaded several. But none of them will show anything on the Startup. Just these black screens. Tried some suggestions I've seen online but still doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any help?

Some of those older themes were designed to only ever display video and don't fallback to any background images. If you don't have platform videos downloaded they wouldn't show anything there. You MAY be able to alter the BB settings in the Video section of the option menu and tell it to fallback to game videos for platforms missing them and then it'd play that (assuming you have them). To grab platform videos you can open LB and go to Tools > Download and in that menu should be something talking about Platform videos (don't have the app open so don't remember the exact label). After you click that a window appears that lists all your platforms, categories, and playlists and lets you attempt to grab videos for them that we have on our servers.
