Video Themes - Issues/Special Feature/Error Log

[TMNTturtlguy]

I have come across an issue that I am wondering if anyone else has seen or worked with when using videos in themes. I came across the issue while building my own theme and noticing this error in my log.

You can see my original post here: ES Error log when building theme help After hours of testing in both my theme, starting a new theme from scratch and looking at the recently updated carbon theme, I have come to the root of the issue, but I don't have a solution. I am hoping that a theme expert has some thoughts.

What I found is that when a theme uses the <supported feature = "video" > such as the new carbon theme, there are no errors. When running the theme this way, the theme looks for videos in the gamelist, and if there are 10 games and only 5 have videos, the 5 games with videos will play the videos nicely, the 5 games without videos will be blank. If there is a gameslist without any videos, then the images will be displayed for that system. The key is, anytime a video is in the gamelist, only vidoes will play for that system. You can add a file in the <default> line but that won't allow me to find each games image art. Here is a screenshot of the supported feature text.

In my themes when working with video, i have not use the supported feature line, instead, i just create a video view. I did this early on with carbon, before the theme was updated. When I did this, it worked great and allows me to have video previews as well as image previews in the system. If a video is not present, the image shows in its place. It works really well for me. Unfortunately, when i did this with other themes, i wasn't looking to share them and i didn't check the error log. They just worked, so I kept them. With my new theme, i checked the log, and now see the errors that are prevalent. I have verified this error with the supported feature through several tests. If i put the supported feature into my theme, errors are gone, but so is the ability to view both the video and image. here is my text line.
If videos of this will help, let me know and i can try to post a few. I am hoping that there is a solution to remove the errors and keep the video/image capabilities, as well as learn if the error I am getting will cause any other issues within ES as I would like to share my themes, but don't want to share themes with long lists of error codes! Thanks everyone.

Update: Ok, Now i am all kinds of confused. I decided to make sure everything I have is up to date, after seeing in threads that ES was updated over the weekend. so I re-updated everything from source. Unfortunately this has changed the outcomes of my symptoms above. Now, after updating from source, the carbon theme as updated through ES themes update will run both the videos and images in a single system, this is great as it allows for some games in the games list to not have video and instead shows the image. The carbon theme does have the <supported feature= "video". The problem is that now carbon throws the same errors as my new theme does. My theme still has my video view as a standard view and not a feature, per above. Now both themes function the same. Both allow video and images in the same system, and both throw out the could not find file error. In both cases i have videos and images running along with all my meta data for each game in each system. Anyone else have the updated carbon and getting these errors in the es log? Thanks
