@robertybob It's the system sound working in your Rpi?

@robertybob don't know if I did it right though ;) anyways I'll look at all this when I get time after work and all that, but if someone fixes / tests before me then that's great too. Saves me the trouble ;)

Nismo

@herb_fargus I think the right way it's this:

<feature supported="video">

   <view name="video">	
   </view>

</feature>

This way have sense...

I'm not able to test until tomorrow night, but I'll report back then :)

sergioad

@Nismo could you help @lilbud to add the option to enable optional scrolling sounds to his theme?

Nismo

@sergioad Read a few posts ago, I tell him the code, and he was looking for a good sound, so the sound support will be added soon.

sergioad

@Nismo @lilbud the sounds should be optional for people who is more visual and dislikes sounds, maybe the sounds could be similar to the new xarbon sounds, clean earcandy and modern 😀

lilbud

@sergioad The only way they can be optional is through editing the xml file. I am going to use this sound: http://rcptones.com/dev_tones/tones/click_04.wav

sergioad

@lilbud oh man I LOVE THAT SOUND, it is gorgeous and earcandy

@robertybob No problem mate, tell me if it works on your rpi because I have no rpi to test, but for sure it will work on windows if you use the ES version with video support.

Gamelist sound will work for sure, I mean system sound.

The 'system sound' on your theme and mine is not working in the latest Windows builds although it does work on the one by fieldofcows. I'm going to assume it therefore won't work on a Pi with the latest ES :(

@lilbud fyi, videos now support <maxSize> like images in case you want to use it.

sergioad

@robertybob It does not 😢

I think the Famicom-mini and Nes-mini theme from ruckage have gamelist scrolling sound.
Maybe take a look in there to see how and what he did?

FlyingTomahawk

Just implemented that click04.wav sound into the flat theme on my RPi 3 running ES v2.1.5RP
All good here, sound is working as it should.

If you would use this

		 <sound name="launch">
			<path>./sounds/yoursoundfile.wav</path>
		</sound>

You can have a game launch sound.

robertybob

@FlyingTomahawk Game scroll sounds work fine, but the sound I'm talking about hasn't been pushed to the main branch yet.

I didn't know about the existence of a launching sound , so thanks :D

lilbud

Does anyone else see the box art growing slightly when you scroll?

A Former User

No, I do not.

Also, will you add Kodi to this theme?

lilbud

@itsnitro I'll get to it later, I'll be out for most of the day.

@lilbud fyi, the carousel theme changes have landed, but your theme is using an older version of the theme xml and will probably be broken.

You currently have:

  <infobar name="infobar">
      <color>dddddd00</color>
      <fontColor>000000ff</fontColor>
      <fontPath></fontPath>
      <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
    </infobar>

You will want to change it to:

  <text name="systemInfo">
      <backgroundColor>dddddd00</backgroundColor>
      <color>000000ff</color>
      <fontPath></fontPath>
      <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
    </text>

lilbud

I'll add Kodi and the Carousel changes in a little bit. The sound will be added too.
