anyone else having trouble with EMUMovies not connecting with this beta? i can log into emumovies fine on their website but after years of it working through launchbox it just decited to stop and just says "unable to login to emumovies" ever since the start of this beta. any ideas? thanks

I have this same issue now also. Log into the website fine, updated password also to see if it helped. Started yesterday and continues today, multiple reboots. Still happening now. Worked prior fine, so not sure why it started up now.

While not a beta issue, EmuMovies API has gone down and they have been notified. We will need to wait for them to kick their server.

「インポートの準備が整いました」の画面では9個のROMがリストアップされていますが、そのままインポートを進めるとこの9個のROMが最初にインポートされ、数分後残りの50個のROMがインポートされました。最初にリストアップされた9個についてはデータベースに登録があったようでゲーム名が自動的に割り当てられましたが、後からインポートされた50個についてはzipの名前そのままになっていました。

インポート画面で表示されるはゲームデータベースに登録されているROMのみなのでしょうか？

もし違うようならやはり不具合だと考えられそうです。

While not a beta issue (it was a server-side issue), run Tools > Download > Force Update Games Database Metadata. Then run the same import again.

Is it normal for me to be seeing different language text here?

If the original posted was written in a different language, then yes.  Depending on your browser, you should be able to right-click it and select Translate.

I´m getting a bug in Bigbox, changing the view, my defualt view is vertical wheel 1, if I switch to vertical wheel 2 or 3 or 4 made the change, but for some reason I cannot go back to the default view vertical wheel 1, same behaviour with all my themes!

[Drodrik]

• 
  Platform Documents: Worked! shoul be nice to add an option to see these docs in bigbox

• Beta Spotlight Window: Worked! links and everyithing

• Metadata Search Improvements: Not working or I am no tunderstanding this one, but I start to typing and nothing happens,

• Screensaver Flash Fix: Once starts runing is still jumping the first game, after that initial Jump there are not more jumps.

• Bulk Star Ratings: worked as spected also for removing rates in bulk

• Delete Media with Games:  The images media was removed, but the video is still there, also should be cool have a checkbox for removing the game file, as I have autoimport enabled for some reason the game was readded again and the media deleted was dowloaded again, 

• Themes & Media Pack Folder Access: worked!

• Improved Region Image Matching: worked! games displaying media based on my region top pref, tried multiple region changes with pokemon emerald , only working during new import but no with the current libreary

Does any one know if there are view issues with beta 2 and Unified Redux? 

Installed it from within BB on new build, but changing views is doing nothing for me, only a single platform and game view is working.

Downloaded Unified Redux v1.8 from forums and it is almost working correct, some views are displaying wall views. The platforms and verticals seem to be working right, but not the rest

Is it just where the theme is outdated?

I've had this from earlier versions as well. Even at 13.22 I had this with the Unified & Ultrawide theme.
Each time I couldn't change the view from verticalwheel2 I had to go into the bigbox settings xml and change it there manually.
