General / Re: AttractMode + Preview Videos = UI Freezes
« on: October 01, 2019, 05:16:27 AM »
I'm not sure if this tip will help you but maybe it will:
I was having the same problem with latest GroovyArcade 2019.03.10 release.
Core 2 quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM and Radeon HD4350 card.
I found the same GUI lock up happening in attract mode with video clips present, and it was happening across all built in themes and some downloaded ones.
One workaround I had was to press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to a command line tty away from the X video screen.
Then use ALT+left arrow/cursor key to switch back to the X window and this usually unfroze the GUI.
As I kept experimenting with themes and trying to troubleshoot, I found the uni_cade theme works great and loops the video clips no problem and no freezing:

Hope this helps.
