Steam Games not showing video preview in Big Box (Unified & Ultrawide theme) when selected with the platform wheel


Recommended Posts

New to LaunchBox and Big Box.  Set everything up fine using Unified & Ultrawide as my Main Theme in Big Box.  I wanted to separate my 3 Wolfenstein games from Steam I imported into its own Platform. I created a Platform called "Wolfenstein" and moved those 3 games into it.  That worked fine.  Then I didn't like how the rest of my imported Steam games went under "Windows" of Wheel 1 (Platforms) in the theme.  So I renamed the "Windows" Platform to "Steam".  The problem is now when I am in Big Box and I cycle through Wheel 1 of my theme, when I get to Steam, there is no preview of games on the left side, like there are with the other Platforms of Wheel 1 and how it was when the Platform was called Windows.  It is just black to the left of Wheel 1.  When I select "Steam" from Wheel 1, I see the games from Steam which I imported on that Wheel.  And I see images on the left, but no video preview. I'm thinking I "broke" something when I was messing with changing the Platform name from Windows to Steam. Photos below show a Launchbox shot of my Platforms you see I changed what was "Windows" to "Steam".  Next one is from BigBox when I select "Steam" from the wheel....just black on the left.  Last photo is after I select "Steam" from the wheel, I get an image of the game, but no video preview like the other plaftorms.  Please help!

I looked in my other Platform folders and none have any videos in the "Trailer" folder. I see the small MP4s in the "Theme" folder of my other Platforms, but there aren't any in the Windows Theme folder or the Steam Theme folder.

I think I must have broken some link when I pulled out my Wolfenstein games into their own Platform. I did the same for 3 Pinball games I got from Steam (created a separate Platform called "Pinball").  And then renamed "Windows" to "Steam".
