Video snaps don't run (ES for Windows)
-
Hi everybody,
As written in the title, I can't manage to have the video snaps running on ES, I use on Windows.
First of all I built ES for Windows following the tuto of fieldofcows, using his "old_master" branch to avoid build errors in Visual Studio.
Then I downloaded Nismo's Old Room theme and configured one platform, Atari 2600, with two games.
ES launches well, the theme is ok, everything works fine (image, marquee,...) except the videos.I tried to put different values in the video parameter of the gamelist.xml :
- ~/.emulationstation/videos/atari2600/Carnival (USA).mp4
- C:\src\EmulationStation\Release\.emulationstation\videos\atari2600\Carnival (USA).mp4
- C:/src/EmulationStation/Release/.emulationstation/videos/atari2600/Carnival (USA).mp4
I also tried to play a .mp3 or .png, nothing happens.
In the oldroom.xml, I tried to put the parameter showSnapshotNoVideo to true, which makes the image appearing instead of the video. I supposed, regarding the name of this parameter, that ES couldn't find the video, but I don't understand why.
If anyone has some clues, some ideas, please don't hesitate :)
For info, the videos are common snaps which play very well in VLC.
I launch ES via a batch file containing :
set HOME=%~dp0
emulationstation.exe --windowed --resolution 1280 720Thanks for your help !

Hi all,
I tried other things and other themes with the same result.
Does anyone, by any chance, has a Windows version of ES with video snaps working ?
Thanks.
