[RESOLVED] latest version bug?

[troy]

I'll be happy to post my configs again, but I was wondering if anybody else has reported the top menus not being visible when playing dvds or videos anymore? Ie: the back, exit, pause, volume controls at the top of the screen. They still "work" since I know where they are my heart, but they do not display.

I'll try switching to a few more themes, but before I spend hours troubleshooting I was just wondering if others might have the same issue. Just happened with the latest update.

(Im not sure what my configs would show anyway, really...)

thanks.

Wish I could help. I don't use GameEx to watch DVD's or videos. Maybe somebody else out there could lend a hand with this. It sounds like it could be a bug, especially if it all worked fine before the latest version. Only, if it DOES work, just doesn't show, it's probably related to the theme. Try changing to one of the more recent themes, as this may be a problem with the theme rendering version (I think we're on version 4 now, and there's a lot of older themes that might have been broken with newer versions of GameEx).

I'm willing to bet this has something to do with foreground_topmost setting. What theme are you using?

[troy]

I just went through Deep Purple and Media Center, both had the issue. Not surprising since it is when the screen "banks"

I havent downloaded any new themes in a long time, ill give that a try. If that doesn't work, Ill get my configs out and post them, probably tomorrow. Not sure why it suddenly happened.

Its working here. Can you try version 12?

I have updated to version 12.00 and tested several of the "Default" themes and I am unable to replicate Troy's issue. I also tested some of my most recent themes in the event he may be using one of them and they appear to be working fine as well as they have ForeGroundTopMost=False. Unless it somehow his theme.ini was somehow changed to ForeGroundTopMost=True we will need for him to upgrade to see if it resolves the issue and provide a copy of the theme.ini and identify the theme he is using to troubleshoot further.

I also went through and changed the ForeGroundTopMost=True and this does break a few of the themes where foreground images are present.

Thanks, I will give it a try. Is the ForeGroundTopMost=True setting someplace easy via the "wizard" or "advanced configuration" program?

I wont be able to post my config until tonight. Thanks for the ideas. This really is the #1 front end, love it!

This is actually governed by the theme you are using. You can find the theme.ini file under \gameex\themes\XYZ theme (the name of the theme you are using). You will need to zip this file and attach it in response to this thread along with noting which theme you are using. Also provide a current copy of your log.txt and gameex.ini files.

Troy - Please upgrade to the latest version of GameEx - 12.04. Let me know if your issue is resolved following the upgrade. Thanks!

Hello, I upgraded to the latest version and download the "Abyss" theme to make sure I had a newer theme. The log file is from 12.02 since I didn't see the new version notice for 12.04 until after I copied and emailed the logs to myself. Version 12.04 is behaving the same way, however. The top menu bar buttons are "active" but not visible during video playback.

I dont see anything in the log, other than numerous path errors, but you guys know it better than I.

Thanks for any help, this is a recent development.

Troy - Please upgrade to the latest version of GameEx - 12.04. Let me know if your issue is resolved following the upgrade. Thanks!
