Video Preview in EmulationStation
-
is there an sd image with video preview for download?
i can´t compile by myself ;( -
@Bluescreen not yet, but fieldofcows it's working to provide a build for who want to test.

@Nismo
Well, its work in progress right now, Just have some pictures of different
perspectives of the room. I have lots of work to do yet, custom videos,
images, etc...you know. The main problem is that I have to convert every
video preview to my 3d perspective and its really time consuming.But in
exchange I think it looks ok. Im not ready to show something yet but Ill be in
two or three months, dont want to do the same that I did with the
Background Images and get an incomplete set, so Ill wait till aI have snes
with at least 100 videos converted or so and then you can give some
feedback ;)
Keep on your amazing work!!!! -
@tronkyfran can't wait to see your theme... XD.
-
@fieldofcows what's your next step?

Well, I've spent whatever free time I've had sorting out my repository and splitting each 'feature' into a separate branch. That process isn't quite complete yet. I am going to submit some of the changes as PR's to the RetroPie fork and see what happens. I haven't had any feedback from anyone trying out the Pi build so maybe there's not that much interest - or everyone is waiting until it is in an 'official' build.
Once I've done that I'll get back to developing some more features and fixing some bugs.
Do you have a Windows version wishlist? I assume metadata fixes would be on top :)
-
@fieldofcows yes i've posted some wishes post ago... but i'll let you concentrate in your splitting process.
I was painting my house so not much time to work on theme.
I've finished gb theme and working on gbc theme, but i'll upload new theme version when more systems added.
-
@capsaicin Thx it works :)
-
New little update for oldroom theme:
- added Game boy system.
- added Game boy Color system. (I need better gbc image for this theme).
- Fixed detailed view.
Somebody have a Game boy Color and can make a photo holding it in his hand?
Now detailed view looks this way :
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ur2k9sbp2ua6yn9/oldroom_1.7_720p.zip (Recommended for Rpi)
1080p version: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vvylrsgh8waqkkk/oldroom_1.7_1080p.zip
Sorry @fieldofcows this time i didn't have time to provide an 800x600 fix but i'll do soon.
I can't make work marquee on top of "rating" on detailed view, i'm not sure if can't be possible on detailed view or it's my fault.
Enjoy.

@Nismo @fieldofcows How hard would this be to implement for other themes for example to Pixels by @Rookervik ?
I mean you don't have to change much just an option to replace the picture with an video if that exists and if not just show the screenshot/boxart?
Or are there more underlying changes that have to be made?
-
@Rion i'ts not difficult.
You can show video and image at same time if you want, that's what i do in my theme, but instead use an screenshot for image i use boxart.
Maybe if @Rookervik give me permission i can take a look at the theme and adapt it for video support.
Or maybe he want to do it himself... who knows.
-
Ultra fast update:
- Fixed gbc system_art image was not in 720p for 720p version..
- Fixed gbc system_art image was not in optimized for 1080p version.
Download 720p (recommended for Rpi): http://www.mediafire.com/file/j91ai4widytm076/oldroom_1.7b_720p.zip
Download 1080p: http://www.mediafire.com/file/er1q5xuyhqecqjp/oldroom_1.7b_1080p.zip
Enjoy.

Pixel theme with video support:

Hello,
I wrote a small test script. To create gamelist.xml for Video ES. Download 3D box art, marquee and videos from http://screenscraper.fr
All systems of oldrom theme, are supported and FinalBurn Alpha.
It still has many bugs. If anyone is interested ...

@Nismo Pixel Video theme works pretty well, but for some reason I get a blue tinge on the videos - they are the same videos used in the oldroom theme, where they look okay and don't have the blue tinge.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
