Tanks for your fast answer.
Yes, i tested not much bot some games, and it always happens!
And if i can provide a suggestion, would be cool to provide a plugin for launchbox that can configure the autoplay json.
maybe with a right click on a game
a sub menu with items like
set this as autoplay.
set random game as autoplay from this platform/playlist
remove the autoplay.
and so on...
Just an idea!
thanks again

Hi, I love the Idea of an autoplay plugin for bigbox.
It could be very useful for Arcade cabinet owners!
I just tested it, and seem that when I start bigbox
bigbox has the focus and the autoplayed game rest in background.
I have to press alt+tab to chenge the focus.
Could it be fixed ?
Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know about this issue. Are you experiencing this every time? I am unable to reproduce this behavior. Is there a particular emulator and game that this happened with?

Could you give me an example of an emulator and game that this has happened with? I am unable reproduce it at the moment so I'd like to test with the same emulator and game you're testing with.
Regarding a setup screen, I agree that would be nice. It's on my backlog as a nice to have :)

Hi.
Done a bit more testing.
Looks like that:
with autoplaytype set to
specificgame - all works right and the game has the focus
tried many times and loks like it works.
but when i change the autoplaytype to every random type
then bigbox gui has the focus and the game is in background.
tested many times.
Hope you can reproduce it.

I'm still not able to reproduce it. I understand the issue is occurring for you when you set the AutoPlayType to RandomGame. Could you let me know an emulator/game where this happened? Whether I try with RandomGame or with SpecificGame, the game is launching on top. I have tested with MAME (standalone), RetroArch, Dolphin, PPSSPP. So far, they all open on top for me.

well, tested again.
Looks like with settings
randomplatform
tested platform Nintendo Entertainment System
games
Whomp 'em,
Kid Niki 3
Jurassic park
give the problem
emulator used retroarch mesen core
i tested more, and for now it seems to happen always with the nes platform

Just a question, i have a startup video folder to run video on startup.
Does it matter maybe?
from bigboxautoplay.
other thing I saw is that your plugin run even the games marked as HIDE.
from bigboxautoplay.
And, I have a setup with marquee screen.
The marquee screen not show the game game marque but the big box actually category marquee.
from bigboxautoplay.
I will try with Retroarch Mesen, startup video, and marquee monitor
from bigboxautoplay.
Thanx

I am able to reproduce this now when I use a longer startup video. I'm curious, how long is your startup video? It seems to happen randomly for me but only if I use a long startup video. I will look into some options to work around it. In the meantime, could try a shorter startup video to work around the issue.
from bigboxautoplay.
Good to know that you are able to reproduce it.
When tested before my video lenght was 14 seconds.
Now I tried with a custom made shorter video (4 seconds), and even without a start video too.
To me it seems to happen Randomly.
Thanks.
Ah, I forgot to say that I have the launchbox folder ( games , videos, exes, all ) on a separate internal SSD drive .
Thanks again!

I have released an update so games marked Hide and Broken are not selected when set to select a random game. I'm still looking into options for the focus problem.

@gig71 I think I have the launch behind fixed now by adding a configurable delay before launching the game. A two second delay is working in my system to allow BigBox to get settled after the video completes and before the game gets launched.
Could you give the latest version a try?
-
Grab the BigBoxAutoPlay.dll from the latest release from here:
https://github.com/AtomFry/BigBoxAutoPlay/releases/tag/1.0.2 -
Copy that into your LaunchBox\Plugins folder and replace the existing DLL
-
Open the settings.json file in the LaunchBox\Plugins\BigBoxAutoPlay folder in notepad
-
Add the "DelayInSeconds" setting like this:
{
"AutoPlayType": "RandomGame",
"OnlyFavorites": "false",
"Playlist": "",
"Platform": "",
"GameTitle": "",
"DelayInSeconds": "2"
}
- Save the file and startup big box.
from bigboxautoplay.
YEAH !
Thanks Man!
With delayinsecond set to 8 for me is working very good!
It's a great plugin!
Now if I would be very fussy :-) (But I'm Not !).
The thing that miss is that the marquee should reflect the game that ran.
I don't know if this is feasible.
Congratulation for this useful plugin.
I think it deserves more attention by the users !
And thanks for your support !
from bigboxautoplay.
Nice man, glad that is resolved. Next for this is to add a little configuration screen so you don't have to get into the JSON file. Since the focus issue is resolved, I'll close this issue. Can you create a separate issue and tell me more about the marquee problem if you think it's relevant? The plugin is only launching a game so it shouldn't interfere with marquee. Maybe I need to select the game first and then open it so that the marquee is triggered. I will look into it. Don't hesitate to let me know if you run into other problems or have other suggestions.
