Flat Theme

[Nismo]

@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.

@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.

@Nismo Video is still not playing for me

@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]

@lilbud You mean default video?

[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

[lilbud]

@Nismo No, and I have a video set for Tetris, no video/audio will play.

@greekmanx Retropie 4.1.14

[Nismo]

@lilbud I'm sure you didn't edit your gamelist.xml to add videos and marquees tags are not??

[FlyingTomahawk]

I assume that this whole video and grid stuff is not inside any official release yet right?

[greekmanx]

lilbud I am sure you know this but 4.1.14 stock does not support video david when he did motion blue added in the code to make it work

[lilbud]

Got it working, it turns out there still was a image tag in the gamelist.

[Nismo]

@lilbud Strabge because it's working for me and for greekmanx, something it's wrong, check if the paths for the videos are correct in gamelist.xml.

The easy way is to edit gamelist.xml and the path for video:

./videos/my_video.mp4

then create the folder videos inside your roms folder, with yor roms files, and place the video inside.

[greekmanx]

lilbud you are much smarter then me you can make themes I cannot

[Nismo]

@lilbud you posted before than me... XD.

I found 2 more errors.

1- There is not default.mp4 video inside assets folder.

2- You need to replace this on Flat.xml:

<default>~/assets/default.mp4</default>

with a dot:

<default>./assets/default.mp4</default>
