Title: Version 2.1.0 Released
Post by: raygun on June 08, 2016, 11:00:12 PM
By popular demand (!?) and hot on the heels of 2.0, we have ourselves a new release of the Attract-Mode frontend!

Version 2.1.0 freshens things up a bit and adds some new features we think are kind of cool: support for using unlimited key/button/joystick combos to trigger commands and improved menu navigation controls....

NOTE FOR UPGRADERS: If you are upgrading from a previous version, chances are you will have to redo your joystick-based control mappings.

Downloads available in the usual place: http://attractmode.org/download.html (http://attractmode.org/download.html)

I did a quick search, but what is the recommended steps to update an existing Attract Mode install?

Raygun,

I love the auto-detect and auto-download functions. I just point Attract Mode at a MAME install and - BOOM - instant arcade front end. Great work!

Just do a seperate install and compare your config files. Its not that hard.

Hi, how do I get the Video Decoder options on RPi3?

I have installed ffmeg with mmal according to these instructions:
https://nwgat.ninja/quick-easy-compiling-mpv-for-raspberry-pi/

and compiled latest AM from source but I still can only select software.

Kind regards
Carl

What worked for me was to build FFmpeg w/mmal on my RPi3 using the following commands :

Code: [Select]
git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
cd ffmpeg

./configure --enable-mmal --disable-debug --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared
make -j4
sudo make install

then build attractmode from source....

Hi Ray,

I followed your instructions regarding ffmpeg and then compiled attract from source. Weird thing is now I cant start AM. I get this error: attract: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Any ideas?

Edit: Nevermind. Found the solution here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12901706/ffmpeg-error-in-linux

I still only have the software decoder option though..

Edit 2: Nevermind again. I have the mmal option after reboot :)
