Flat Theme

mattrixk

@lilbud Do you have your sound turned up? I had the issue where I thought videos weren't working, but it turned out they were playing, but were just behind my background image.

You'll need to remove extra="true" from <image name="background" extra="true"> in order for the background image to go behind the videos.

Here is the video code

<view name="video">
	<image name="md_marquee">
		<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
		<origin>0.0 0.0</origin>
		<size>0.185 0.327</size>
	</image>
	<video name="md_video">
		<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
		<origin>0 0</origin>
		<size>0.185 0.327</size>
		<delay>0.0</delay>
		<default>~/resources/default.wma</default>
		<showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
		<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
	</video>
</view>

@lilbud Are you setting background as "extra"??? I told you any extra images are on top of video.

Can you send me or post a copy of your flat.xml? I downloaded the one from github but no video entries there.

Also in that code I see this:

<default>~/resources/default.wma</default>

As far I know wma = windows media audio... so it's not a video, maybe you are trying to play a windows media video? (wmv).

@lilbud I see nothing in there that would stop your videos from showing up. Maybe it's an issue with your gamelist.xml not pointing to your videos correctly?

Also, is this part of core ES now?
<feature supported="carousel">

Last I heard it was just a suggestion. I didn't know anyone had actually made it work.

lilbud

@mattrixk Got it to work, but I would need more time to screw around with it.

I have like 5 different builds of ES installed. Switching between them as needed

Nismo

@lilbud I'll take a look but I still don't understand why are you using audio where must be a video.

lilbud

@Nismo Changed it to a video file, even set a default video

@lilbud I'll help you with this, I have white screnn in all systems.

Also you need to set up the marquees, even if you doesn't want to use marquees in your theme, because it can show on top or other things if somebody have marquees.

If you want marquees place it somewhere, if you don't want marquees, move out of the screen.

Nismo

@lilbud I got it working, marquees and images are on top of videos, i'll fix in a sec and send you the theme with the changes.

Looks awesome, reminds me Android and Kodi 17

Nismo

@lilbud Go it working now give me some minutes to place marquees...

lilbud

@Nismo Could you send a Pull Request instead?

Nismo

@lilbud I don't know how to do that, but if you want i can tell you what was the changes.

Here you have: http://www.mediafire.com/file/f9ts8gayc8n8r7c/es-theme-flat-with-video.zip

You need to place marquees better, i let that for you, but now are not on top of video, now are on upper right corner, anyway marquees are on top of nes logo, no space for marquees there.

lilbud

@Nismo Video is still not playing for me

Nismo

@lilbud This is what I did to fix the theme.

For every system, in theme.xml I replace:

<view name="basic, detailed">

with:

<view name="basic, detailed, video">

On flat.xml replace:

<view name="basic, detailed, grid">

with:

<view name="basic, detailed, grid, video">

and:

<view name="detailed">

with:

<view name="detailed, video">

But video view doesn't need md_image so I deleted this from <view name="detailed, video">:

<image name="md_image">
			<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
			<maxSize>0.185 0.327</maxSize>
			<origin>0 0</origin>
		</image>

And placed appart for detailed view only:

<view name="detailed">
		
		<image name="md_image">
			<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
			<maxSize>0.185 0.327</maxSize>
			<origin>0 0</origin>
		</image>
	</view>

And changed the values of marquees because before was the same than video and that is because displaying on top of video.

<image name="md_marquee">
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<pos>0.745 0.01</pos>
			<maxSize>0.25 0.14</maxSize>
		</image>

You need to edit this and place it better.

I hope this helps on github.

Regards.

so I can confirm it now works with motionblue v2 video plays perfectly now just the marques are little wierd in top right but otherwise no issues.

lilbud

@Nismo I even downloaded the the Oldroom theme, but video still won't play

Nismo

greekmanx

lilbud what image are you using or did you make your own? I am using motionblue v2 and the download Nismo just posted works fine
