        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.

                        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!

                              That's interesting. It might be a bug in the video playback. I'll check. What are you running it on? RPi, Windows or Linux?

                                  @fieldofcows Hi, I'm running on an rpi3. Might be to do with the video encoding, I'll try some others.

                                    @GtBFilms It is indeed a bug that only shows on the RPi - a problem with the opacity of the video. Well caught! I've got a fix which I will commit shortly.

                                        You can scrape your video with Universal XML Scraper,

                                        Just open your XML "profil" in "ProfilsFiles"

                                        And add this :

                                        <Element Type="Video">
                                        <Source_Type>XML_Download</Source_Type>
                                        <Source_Download_Path>%Local_Path_File%</Source_Download_Path>
                                        <Source_Download_Tag>-video</Source_Download_Tag>
                                        <Source_Download_Ext>mp4</Source_Download_Ext>
                                        <Source_Value>Data/jeu/medias/media_video</Source_Value>
                                        <Target_Type>XML_Path</Target_Type>
                                        <Target_Path_Type>%XML_Path_File%</Target_Path_Type>
                                        <Target_Value>game/video</Target_Value>
                                        </Element>

                                        It will scrape video, putting them in the downloaded image directory, with a "-video" tag, and add in your gamelist.xml the path in "game/video"

                                          @screech What if i wanted to use both Video and for example RetroPie (MIX) using both Images scraped using Universal XML Scraper and Video's.

                                          If there is no video use Scraped image and so forth?

                                            It's a themming question ;)

                                            As is, if you add the new element in the MIX profil, you still have the MIX + the video...
                                            What you do with these is purelly in the theme ;)

                                            Try to put Video over the MIX with "same size"
                                            So when you have video, the MIX is under the video... When you have no video, you will see the MIX ;)
