Hey i just spend the last 3 days creating steam video snaps for some of the games i have on my windows arcade cabinet. Note with creating i mean searching for videos on youtube of people playing the games i have on my cabinet and then creating 1-2 minute gameplay snaps out of them. I have done about 50 of them. you can get these snaps here https://mega.nz/fm/wtZCxB7B and see a showcase video of them being used on my arcade cabinet here https://youtu.be/UDz0gBL1OGM . The files are named after the steam app id (as is used with attractmode). But i placed a txt file with each video containing the name of the game according to steam. My arcade cabinet has more videos than shared but they are not of great quality as i did not have the original files saved so can not redo them and some come from emumovies so can not really share those either. But these last 50 ones i did save the original files.
Also i'm no expert on video encoding etc but i basically saved the edited youtube video in 720p at full quality and the let them pas through ffmpeg. Maybe some of you have some use for them.

Also if you are interested in seeing these games run on an arcade cabinet I have a steam curator where i test these games and mention which ones work and how many buttons the game need as well as a youtube channel mentioning the same thing but also showing the games in action.

someone needed some help so i created a very basic how to video on how to setup mame using attract. I know it's possible to generate / import the complete list at once and never do it again but already had to explain too much. If you follow step by step using same paths you should be able to have setup mame and have some media for it

General / Game manuals plugin (Released)
« on: May 18, 2020, 03:03:33 PM »
Edit: it's released grab it here https://github.com/joyrider3774/attract_gamemanuals_plugin

Hello guys,

I'm working on a plugin to show game manuals inside attract, it should work with any layout but it does not display PDF files, you need to convert the pdf files to single page images first but i know of a tool from pdf tools to convert a pdf to png per page. So when my plugin is finished i'll provide it along with the plugin.

The plugin uses a lot of code from the SumatraPDF plugin but that plugin used an external pdf viewer and i wanted my manuals to be displayed inside attract itselve as i can't use an external pdf viewer on the pi.

Anyway the plugin is not finished yet but does work already you can see a previous video here on my youtube https://youtu.be/KqkXegUpZPQ

I saw the libavresample option in the makefile so i configured ffmpeg with
"./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared --enable-avresample"

and then edited the make file to make sure libavresmaple would be used it compiled fine and everything seems to run fine but can't seem to see / hear any diffrence.

should libavresmaple be faster than libswresample i see the makefile seems to give preference to libswresample but not certain if there is a reason for it or not.

Don't have any video's to test / benchmark with.

I think the choose has an impact on the audio resampler being used just don't know which one is faster in general

anyone can shed some light on this ?
