LaunchBox 13.25 Beta Thread

[chadbanks]

If I use ffmpeg video engine then it crashes launchbox and bigbox. Both apps are only stable with wmp.

@chadbanksI've had this issue recently and it was fixed by updating video drivers. Also please do not post in the beta thread unless specifically related to the beta.

LaunchBox gets stuck on "Loading Interface" every time I open the app for the first time after a boot of Windows.

I must end the process and try to open the program again. 2nd time and onward always works OK. so there is an issue with the first boot every time. started with at least v13.24 and continues to current 13.25 beta1. reverting to v13.23 this issue is not present. also, if I instead open Big Box first, Big Box boots fine. I can then open LaunchBox OK, even if it is the first time launching it on that boot. so to be more specific, LaunchBox gets stuck on Loading Interface after boot of Windows as long as Big Box has not been launched first.

 

same ongoing issues with FFMPEG regarding audio artifacts with webm using Vorbis, poor frame rate on all videos, and freezing the frontend when looping certain videos. these things do not happen when I use FFMPEG directly in Windows to play videos. the issues are in the implementation of FFMPEG in the frontend. I will say when playing videos in fullscreen whether in the frontend or with FFMPEG directly in Windows, frame rate does go down a notch. so that can explain why when viewing a video fullscreen with the frontend it looks worse since it does it natively in FFMPEG anyway. But as long as the video is in window mode in Windows when using FFMPEG it plays perfect. so this is an issue with the frontend since it plays back all videos poorly with FFMPEG even when not fullscreened.

インポート方法

①ツール - インポート - ROM Files - Single platform

②WindowsのエクスプローラーでROM FileをLaunchboxにドラッグアンドドロップで登録

どちらの方法でも発生します。

具体的なファイル名は rtypej.zip wndrmomo.zip などです。

こちらの問題解決しました。

どうやら先に登録してあった物は相対パスで登録されており、後から登録しようとしたものは絶対パスで登録されようとしたため、別のROMとして扱われていたようです。

なぜ既に登録してあった物が相対パスで登録されていたのかは不明です。

データファイルを絶対パスに書き換えたところこの問題は発生しなくなりました。
