Carbon theme - Add video

straughton

Been trying to add video to Carbon theme instead of boxart - I have "Crazy Taxi.Mp4" in downloaded images and:
<game>
<path>./Crazy Taxi.cdi</path>
<name>Crazy Taxi</name>
<video>/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/dreamcast/Crazy Taxi.Mp4</video>
<desc>Crazy Taxi is an arcade-like racer where the player takes the role of a taxi driver who weaves his way through crowded streets, across sidewalks and even under water, in a wild and frantic race to deliver passengers on time. The courses are largely set inside cities crowded with general traffic and pedestrians (which can't be run over, they dive away). The main goal is to bring as many customers as possible to their destination in time. Available customers are marked through circles and the colour represents the distance and the fare they offer. Green means long rides with plenty of money, and red ones are very short.</desc>

Can't get video to play; any ideas or help in where I'm going wrong?

Many Thnaks :)

@straughton what version of retroois are you running? When did you last update ES? Did you update your carbon theme to the video enabled theme? Need more info to help trouble shoot. Thanks

@TMNTturtlguy Using Retropie 4.1, Raspberry Pi3-Updated to the latest version of Carbon this morning via Retropie menu :) Thanks for replying mate!

@straughton what version of 4.1 and when did you update emulation station? Video preview was recently added feature and.you need to make sure you are up.to date. I don't remenet the exact version numbers.

How can i check specifically mate? I ran the Update All Installed Packages in retropie setup so should be right up to date :) Sorry for being a little illiterate in not knowing the specifics but thanks for helping :)

@straughton if you're really worried.

update setup script

@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.
