I have the following folder set up
video /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/video
but the video snap does not show.
The Wheel , marquee shows but the video dont.
The video are in mp4.
Any idea why it doesnt show
I am using Layout Coinops layout
I have made it so that attractmode and the emulator are using the same layout robospin.
any ideas what I am doing wrong
there are two variables
fe.layout.width - layout width in pixels
and
fe.layout.height - layout height in pixels
if you leave it undefined
fe.layout.width will be your screen X resolution (like 1920px) and fe.layout.height will be your screen Y resolution (like 1080px)
flh and flw - are usually used as a shorter version - so you don't have to type in code "fe.layout.width" all the time - just "flw"
but you have to define it first as variable
flw = fe.layout.width
---
So - if you want to use fixed dimensions in pixels - you should first define fe.layout.width and fe.layout.height in pixels.
Because if you don't - you'll end up with fixed dimensions and position of your layout elements and variable size of a whole layout.
Keep in mind that AM stretches your layout (by default) to fit the screen.
So if you use
fe.layout.width=640
fe.layout.height=480
it will look as intended (full screen) on 1024x768 or 800x600 res screen - but it will be stretched horizontally on 1920x1080 screen
Hmmm... you can't do that currently - without changing the code. But it's a very good idea to implement.
I'm planning to add game list as an alternative to wheel graphics in next version - so I can add that feature also.
...just have to find some time to do that (sigh)
