@spaceblaze Just to confirm the above code change does work.

I reexported all the videos at 480p and now have control over the size.

As it turns out, the end result is not that great a user experience so I'm reworking the layout a bit.

Will post a video once I'm happy with it.

@andreamav said in Carousel Video:

<path>./videos/${system.theme}.mp4</path>

this row was in theme.xml in root, not in "system/theme.xml"

I actually just did something similiar which worked perfectly. I just took an in game video clip with my phone. I installed the Pixel environment. I uploaded it to youtube. Then used youtube2mp3 to convert it to an mp4. I downloaded it to the pi via Pixel. renamed it to the game name-video.mp4. Placed it in the images folder. Then i rebooted and selected the game and edited the meta data with the file path under video. Then saved and exited. Works perfectly. Now i can do that on the other 3 games i do not have videos for and the ones that wont play and i should be golden.

Hm, 720x480 is not quite 4:3, though CEA 2 is reported as 4:3

tvservice -m CEA Group CEA has 16 modes: mode 1: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive mode 2: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive mode 3: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive mode 5: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced mode 7: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced (prefer) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive mode 17: 720x576 @ 50Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive mode 18: 720x576 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive mode 19: 1280x720 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive mode 20: 1920x1080 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced mode 22: 720x576 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced mode 31: 1920x1080 @ 50Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive mode 32: 1920x1080 @ 24Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive mode 33: 1920x1080 @ 25Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive mode 34: 1920x1080 @ 30Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive

@sirhenrythe5th Thank you! Im glad you enjoy it!

Nice bartop! I love Ghosts'n Goblins! :) Not too far of my own build design-wise, even though it's themed differently. Do you have some build pictures?

i love your theme @darknior is there any chance that wii, gc and ps2 will be added to the supported systems in the future?

@jdrassa @ruckage this would be an excellent addition! I believe we had this discussion about a month ago and having the ability to have wheel art and also possibly thumbnail to allow box art, 2wheel art, screenshot all to be displayed!

@jdrassa, I know this is a huge undertaking and not an immediate request, but if you do look into this, making the md have a true false option would be excellent. I am going to release a "special edition" of my theme so that users with wheel art in there "marquee" line of the gamelist can see that instead of the second system logo. If the md_marquee tag was True false, this could all be handled under one theme release.

Thanks as always for you great work, and indeed no rush on my thoughts.
