Video Preview in EmulationStation
-
@Nismo adding a sound to system view on ES launch, I'm on a Pi 3, not sure if you're on a PC though, used the lines that Fieldofcows suggested, but nothing happens for me
-
@Scannigan As far I know, @fieldofcows didn't add that feature to the master branch.
Would be very good if he add it because it's working very well on windows.
-
@Nismo I've got a whole queue of things that need to be added but am holding back pending testing to make sure any changes are stable. Finding time to test myself is really difficult.
-
@fieldofcows That's why we are here 😉
-
I'm not the most tech savvy person but happy to help where/if I can! @fieldofcows vid preview is working like a dream, great work. @Nismo love your theme it's frigging awesome. I was struggling with WSOD on my Pi, however I discovered reducing image sizes to less than 50kb stopped that happening.
-
@__Scannigan__ I've got a fix for the WSOD too which is about to be submitted :D
-
@Nismo Wow what a incredibly awesome theme!!
1 quetions for you...
Not to be rude but would you mind sharing your psd files? :)
Thanks for your great work with oldroom and sharing it!!

@fieldofcows can't wait, especially if it means I can increase the size of images again, as the quality was lost getting them down
-
@__Scannigan__ See this thread for more details: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2389/solution-for-white-screen-of-death/100

@Nismo on your sega32x theme background, what image pack did you use for your 3d box size? After I updated my gamelist file for that system I show a smaller 3d box with your larger 3d box in the background.

Of course no problem with that, but not all my images are on psd, some are pfi, i'll upload for you when I open the thread for the theme.

You still can download the theme again... what's the problem?

I'll open a thread for my theme in the right place of this forum, but unfortunatelly, i can't find time to do it. But when i can, i'll post links for all the art for the theme, so you don't need to worry about that, i'll post wheels, images, boxart, videos and all you need in the theme. Sorry for the delay but my live isn't a bed of roses lately...
Regards.

@Nismo wow many thanks for that!! 🎉

@Nismo Would you be able to share or post your UXS scraping profile? I'm trying to integrate your OldRoom MAME theme into my custom tronkyfran theme, but having some trouble doing so. My gamelist has <video></video> tags, but your stock OldRoom theme doesn't seem to be able to find or play them. The stock tronkyfran theme, however, can play videos (even though it's not designed for it), but the formatting of the theme becomes all messed up- just a white screen for a background and the text size and color is not as it should be.
-
@MWGemini It's very strange starting with the point that a theme not designed to play videos you see video previews.
Second point it's more strange because nobody having problems with my theme except you, so it's very difficult to me to say what's the problem.
Only thing could be it's maybe your using and old theme version.
Try this one, it's the latest i uploaded: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vs3tr3sstrxud42/oldroom_1.8_720p.zip
Please give more details it's hard to me to understand what's the problem, it should work.
And no, I don't use UXS.
Regards.
-
@Nismo already got it ready to load :) @MWGemini, happy to test @fieldofcows recent build, however I'm an absolute novice, how would I go about downloading and installing the recent build on a Pi?
-
@Nismo I trying to mod your theme with another first-entry-look you know, systems and retropie. I want to keep your cool stuff inside systems though. How do I do that?
Thanks!
-
@Kischa Sorry my english it's not very good and I don't understand what exactly are you trying to do...
-
@Nismo No problems my english is also bad lol..
Well I want to merge a another thems first part into your theme. So to speak, change front system and retropie menys in yours. Is it possible to cut and paste code from my theme into your xml? And if, where and what row do I do that? 😊
-
@Kischa It's not so easy like copy and paste, and very difficult to explain if you don't know how to make themes.
What you can do it's to change the background and logos in system view, that's easy, inside of each system folder there is an art folder.
You can change the system_art.jpg for wherever you like for the backgound in system view, and you can change system.svg if you want to change the logos.
-
@Kischa just to add to @Nismo comment, I changed system view images to other backgrounds and created a few extra views for systems that weren't included in his 1.8 release, there is a really good guide on creating/changing themes on github : https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Creating-Your-Own-EmulationStation-Theme here I discovered the ES Theme Helper which is incredibly helpful
