.webm videos don't autoplay in Launchbox.

Issue #5398 resolved
Nikorasu081 created an issue

With the new Launchbox 11.0 update, .webm videos don’t autoplay whereas .m4v videos play just fine. For some reason .webm videos only plays in BigBox mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1AntPDULgo&feature=youtu.be

    .webm videos working fine on all my builds that are on LB version 11. Are you using VLC or Windows Media as your video playback inside LB?

    VLC which is included with LaunchBox. Screw Windows Media Player! Also as you seen the YouTube video, the videos were not launched externally, thus eliminating the use of a different player.. I have not changed my default player, it’s always been the one included with Launchbox. As I said above, the videos play just fine in BigBox, but not LaunchBox, elaborate on how a different player has anything to do with my problem, if that was the case.

    Did you even try the .webm videos in Launchbox? That’s where it isn’t working for me. They play just fine in BigBox.

    All my steam games have webm videos and they play in Launchbox just fine.

    And the reason you was asked about the video player you use is because Windows Media Player can not play webm out of the box, you need to install third party codecs to make them work. So it was a very valid question to ask someone who failed to include that info in there complaint.

    Of course I watched your video and saw they were not playing (hence my specific question). Of course I played my videos inside LB. I would not have said they play fine in all my LB builds if I had not.

    What a different player has to do with anything is LB has an option inside its UI to choose either VLC or Window Media to play videos. Being condescending when asking for help and someone is trying to help you troubleshoot makes people not want to help. I clearly was not condescending to you when I took time out of my holiday morning and tested several of my setups to see if I can replicate your issue. Since it worked on several setups confirming what setting you have inside LB is next to see if it is a setting issue.

    I reinstalled Launchbox and now the issue is fix. Sorry if it seemed like I was being rude.
