Video continues to play after launching game in latest beta

[JB]

Using the latest beta, sometimes the preview video from BigBox continues to play in the background after launching a game. I'm getting this about 50% of the time I launch a game now since upgrading. I never had this happen before.

Usually closing the game, going back into LaunchBox then relaunching the game fixes it.

Also when this happens, if I exit the game, then scroll to another game, the video from the previous game usually stays playing until it reaches the end, then the correct video will play.

Hi JB, I'm having trouble reproducing this issue. The latest betas added support for the VLC video playback engine as well as Windows Media Player. Which playback engine is this happening with? Thanks!

[JB]

It's set to VLC. Is there a way to change it without going into the interface since it won't launch?

[Jason Carr]

Big Box won't launch at all now? I'm confused.

The way to change it is to go to the General Settings in Big Box. The Video Playback Engine option is at the bottom.

Sorry! Referring to my other issue where LaunchBox is toast after the latest beta update!

Ah! Okay. I'm guessing the newest beta should fix it for you then. You can manually download the newest beta here:

http://api.launchbox-app.com/DownloadBeta.ashx?s=e81d35b1-f2ab-4339-b981-b4c82f0ec15b

Then you can just install over top of your current installation and I expect everything should be good to go. Let me know if you're still seeing problems after upgrading to beta 13 and I'll re-open this ticket. Thanks! :)

This is still an issue. Any way to further test this? I have about a 50/50 chance of the game launching with the preview video still playing in the background. It happens with WMP and VLC.
