@duiz You could google this, but seems like a debugger is missing that is not installed maybe... But I would recommend asking the creator of this

I found this after 5mins of googling:

**the best way: To disable Just-In-Time debugging by editing the registry
In the Start menu, click Run.
In the Run dialog box, type regedit, then click OK.
In the Registry Editor window, locate and delete the follow registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\Debugger
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger
If your computer is running a 64-bit operating system, delete the following registry keys also:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\Debugger
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework\DbgManagedDebugger
Take care not to accidentally delete or change any other registry keys.
Close the Registy Editor window.

But I wouldn't recommend editing the registry if you don't know what you are doing!

Basicly you have to edit the gamelist.xml for each rom
Here is a example for a game entry in a gamelist.xml (using a video preview):

<game> <path>./1944.zip</path> <name>1944 - the loop master (000620 USA)</name> <desc>1944 - the loop master (000620 USA)</desc> <video>/home/pi/Games/config/videos/1944.xmv</video> <marquee>/home/pi/Games/config/marquees/1944.png</marquee> <rating>0.5</rating> <releasedate>20000101T000000</releasedate> <developer>Capcom / 8ing / Raizing</developer> <publisher>2000 Capcom / 8ing / Raizing</publisher> <genre>Shooter / Flying Vertical</genre> <players></players> </game>

Basicly you have to edit/add the video tag! Insert the path to your video file into

<video>path/here</video>

(pls think about it before following the steps as these informations might be wrong)

@red2blue I have a copy at home, but I won't get to my computer until tonight or tomorrow. I'll post it for you first chance I get. I'm the meantime though, MetaPixel supports it (and has video support too).

@pindapoe Glad to hear that :)
I just changed a name and added the game informations (took some time)... No big deal ;-)
If you want to change them, I added a "guide"

@straughton if everything is up to date and you also updated the carbon theme, something in your game list does not match. Is the M in .mp4 real capitalized in your file type? I am not at my computer or pi, but I believe .mp4 is usually all lower case. Check to be sure the file path and name match perfectly including capitals. I also believe that in mine, my path is simply ./downloads/crazy taxi.mp4
The game list should pull from location the .XML is located, so if your game list is in the same folder as your download folder, you don't need the full path.

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

I remember getting a bit longer bootup time after I scraped all my roms, I suspect this extra time would radically increase if all games have video previews?

@herb_fargus Sselph's scraper supports video scraping from screenscraper.fr. I've recently submitted a patch that transcodes videos to a more Raspberry Pi friendly format. This needs HandBrakeCLI and is not advisable to run on the Pi unless you like it melting through the floor. I got into the habit of running sselph's scraper on my own linux machine (mac should work too I guess) and then copying the resulting files to my Pi after it's done.

@herb_fargus

I'll leave the astrocade to you ;)

Done and done. GitHub isn't nearly as scary as I had imagined. I hope to work my way up to a script module submission when I have some time to learn a bit more. For now, I made some small revisions to my previous Astrocade artwork to make everything read a bit more cleanly.

Astrocade

@TMNTturtlguy You're right.

In that case, my best advice is to do what I had done before I started this and fieldofcows added the OMXPlayer experiment, which is to batch convert all videos to 480x360@30fps using Handbrake or equivalent.

Works like a charm! :)

You may save yourself some time if you can somehow know beforehand which of your videos are of higher resolution, or higher fps so you don't convert all.

A note: obviously I'm biased, but I've been using my build as the main ES for the past few weeks with no real issues, so I'd be the first to recommend it :D But yes, of course there may be unforeseen problems, though it's mostly fieldofcows' code - just a few tweaks on top. If you do test it out, let us all know! Just don't use themes with overlays with the experimental player, as it doesn't support overlays on top, if that's a problem for you. :)

Best!

@EctoOne Correct. Once you upgrade, if you are using a theme that doesn't support video, it should use the detailed view instead. Hopefully the carousel changes will land soon.

@CLU

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but at least it's a start.

I'm not the creator though.

@herb_fargus here i used my tv settings over so you can see how much is getting cut off

@herb_fargus Thanks for the reply. I have tried a few things with no luck. If the text names are hard coded that will be the reason. Thanks.

I will just scrape meta-data then maually edit either developer or publisher with the horizontal
or vertical text.

Just a quick thought which location is a 'safe place' to avoid the metadata being over written on a system/theme update?

Thanks

Oi Meleu, show d+ seus scripts... muito obrigado [],ao Carlos

@mattrixk Makes sense. Thanks a lot for the info.

Controller pictures are also .svg just as the logos are, so I don't think that is the issue unless the there is memory limit reserved for the theme and the svg is hitting it.

@UDb23 yeah it's a little hidden in the wiki, perhaps I'll make it a little more verbose:

For reference: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/EmulationStation#my-es_sytemscfg-is-being-overwritten-on-updates

@zarrath I can't really give you a point by point description, but there is a guide on the RetroPie wiki that teaches you how to make themes. I should point you in the right direction at least.

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Creating-Your-Own-EmulationStation-Theme

One simple thing I can tell you, if you just want to hide some text to stop it showing up, you can use <fontSize>0</fontSize>. This effectively tells ES to make that element have a font size of 0, so nothing can be seen. You use it like this:

<text name="md_description"> <fontSize>0</fontSize> </text>

This would stop the description from showing on the screen. If you wanted to move the existing elements, or change their size, you would need to play with <size> and <pos>.

Also keep in mind that you may have to make changes to each theme.xml within the system folders as well as changing carbon.xml, but that would depend on what you want to change.
