How do I bring back my background videos back?

Context: I have been using Stepmania on this particular laptop for a few months now, i decided to download some theme's to give it life. I downloaded the X theme and when i try to change the theme, i couldn't find it. I jumbled and messed up some controls and now I can't remember what option was that nor have my background videos play anymore when they used to play normally.

If you’re using ITGmania there is a bug when changing themes that it turns off backgrounds. You have to go into preferences.ini and change a setting manually, I think it’s “SongBG=0” to SongBG=1”. I’m not able to check it right now but you should see what I’m talking about when you open the file.

I'm using the 5.1 Stepmania. I can't find the file "preferences.ini" you're talking about..

this is where i got my stepmania

Hello, I'm asuming that you are using my DDRX theme, the bug is caused by the 3d character system, that writes the preference.ini file, to solve it, just go to your stepmania save folder, open preferences.ini with a text editos, an search the line SongBackgrounds=0 and replace with SongBackgrounds=1. This will fix the bug, I will have to update the theme to recover the theme switch line and skip this bug, Sorry for the inconvenience.

Excuse me MadkaT but where is this "stepmania save folder" you're telling?

It depends on how your stepmania is installed/configured, check this for more info: https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/wiki/User-Data-Locations
