I don't understand why but a reboot solved this with the newest version… on linux o.O

There are now basically 2 critical issues with AttractMode. One can be worked around, the other not:

First is that it doesn't compile against FFMPEG 4 (see https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/442). This can be worked around at least.

The second issue is the one reported in this thread, wherein AttractMode just freezes (without any errors in the log/stderr) when it tries to load artwork that doesn't exist (see https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/440).

Unless the other guys commenting in this thread are familiar with FFMPEG or LIBSFML, we'll have to wait for Mickelson to reappear and have time to work on it.

Wow, second one was fast ^^ First one not, though but now I can compile it, but after the intro video attract-mode stays on a black screen and freezes or exits/closes. I don't know if the picture it is trying to load exists because I can not see which one it is trying to load… So the problem still persists for me. Ticket says it worked for you. So I am alone now, damn -.-

Somebody here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/attract says this has something to do with a change in ffmpeg. Does anybody know more about it?

It is getting worse. Today I updated my PC, recompiled newest attract-mode from git and it crashes with memory access error right after the intro video(memory access error is everything the error gives me, nothing more).

What do you see on the console when it freezes?

Does not really look useful to me as the last message says the layout was loaded succesfully…
Are you using software or hardware video decoding? AM hardware decoding is newer in linux (not in 2.1.0).
Where to select this? I have no video aside from the standard intro video and all pictures are still images.

Have your tried different video modes? Full Screen vs. Fill Screen vs. Etc.
For attrac-man theme? Yes, does not seem to change anything.

I should also ask what Linux distro and are you using RetroPie scripts for your build?
Archlinux, building attract mode from aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/attract-git/

Theme: attrac-man.
Also: linux so any .exe is not really useful.
I will try it with another theme when i reinstall actual git version for now I am using the older version and need it to work.

Hi there,

what image does attract show when an image for a game is not found? The point is that my attract
freezes whenever a screenshot/snap of a game is not found and I need to solve this, attract must
not freeze and not because of that. So what picture is shown/how to select it?

Greetings

[Update] This only seems to happen on mame emulator. In other emulators a yellow screen with attract on it is shown. Why does it freeze in mame and not show the picture? Giving it any picture solves the freeze but i really would like to solve the problem![/Update]

Error does not happen in attract-2.1.0 but 2.3.0.r44(newest git-version freezes. So what is wrong here?
