Title: iojukebox Theme, a JukeBox for Attract-Mode.
Post by: iOtero on August 15, 2018, 04:08:04 PM
iojukebox Theme, a JukeBox for Attract-Mode.

I'm having a lot of problems with YouTube because of copyright problems of the music that sounds in the videos that I upload of this theme, so from now on I will limit myself to the still images.
If some video disappears, I will not be able to upload it again, but it's not my thing it's Youtube and the copyrights


Version 09/2018

Updated: 09/01/2018
The number of background videos is increased to 16.
The graphic files of the wallpapers are removed. They are changed by color schemes, increasing to 16 options.


This jukebox is based on the jukebox-pzin of comrade JosepZin.
Without his work, this theme would never have seen the light. Thanks friend.


Here you can see it running.
I've uploaded it to vimeo, because youtube put obstacles:
https://vimeo.com/285125523 (https://vimeo.com/285125523)

And this video is demonstrative of the Random function, which i forgot to include in the previous one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4bO7VJgnzE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4bO7VJgnzE)


And another with the last option that i have added, the background videos:

Some important details:

INSTRUCTIONS:

SYSTEM:
   
In Attract-Mode create a new "JukeBox" system where you have the rest of the systems, and create the folder where they will go roms (*.m3u) and wheels (*.jpg).
As an example, in these instructions, the path would be "E:\arcade\systems\jukebox\"

In the folder "\Emulators\" inside Attract-Mode, create a JukeBox.cfg like this:

Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.4.0
#
# executable         E:\arcade\systems\jukebox\JukeBox.exe
# args               "[romfilename]"
rompath              E:\arcade\systems\jukebox\roms
romext               .m3u
system               JukeBox
artwork    flyer     E:\arcade\systems\jukebox\flyer
artwork    marquee   E:\arcade\systems\jukebox\marquee
artwork    snap      E:\arcade\systems\jukebox\snap
artwork    wheel     E:\arcade\systems\jukebox\wheel
   
Or this, if you use relative paths:

Code: [Select]
# Generated by Attract-Mode v2.3.0
#
# executable           ..\..\arcade\systems\jukebox\JukeBox.exe
# args                 "[romfilename]"
rompath              ..\..\arcade\systems\jukebox\roms
romext               .m3u
system               JukeBox
artwork    flyer     ..\..\arcade\systems\jukebox\flyer
artwork    marquee   ..\..\arcade\systems\jukebox\marquee
artwork    snap      ..\..\arcade\systems\jukebox\snap
artwork    wheel     ..\..\arcade\systems\jukebox\wheel

Since this layout does not use any external program, "executable" and "args" are not necessary, so they are commented with #.

ESSENTIAL FORMATS:

This JukeBox does not use tags of any kind, it only uses the names of folders and files.

For the system to work correctly:


GENERATION OF LISTS:

The file "create_lists.cmd" serves to generate the lists with the music: create the m3u (roms) the wheels (* .jpg) and the romlist. No need to generate anything with Attract-Mode.

Before executing "create_lists.cmd", edit it and modify the paths you are going to use:

Example:


KEY ASSIGNMENT:

Assign these keys in Attract-Mode:


The keys to be used appear in the on-screen help when pressing the H key and are the following:


As you can see, you can easily change this key assignment. Of course, the help, unless you edit the layout code, will not be usable.

And if after all this long and heavy story that i have told you, you are still interested, you can download it here:

Now you can use accents, á, é, ñ and other unicode characters in iojukebox.

Before I did not read the album covers with accents, for example.

After a month of communicating the AM bug, Mickelson has modified the code correcting the bug he had when dealing with UNICODE.

To be able to use the new code you have to download the latest unofficial version, but it works in windows perfectly, from here:

http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2324.0

In linux and mac you have to compile yourself.

Updated on first post: Now you do not need to use any Attract-Mode module, the ones you need already have them incorporated.

Post by: toothlessgrinn on August 29, 2018, 10:21:06 AM
maybe a stupid question but this will play music videos too right?? im assuming its all in what you tell it to look for ..or do you need a player associated with it as well?

Post by: iOtero on August 29, 2018, 12:58:54 PM
You do not need any special player, it only plays with the squirrel's own code and of course you can play videos, you just have to modify the batch to find them. But it is a subject that I have not considered yet.

Happiness is never absolute.

The unicode problem persist.

Now he does read the graphics, but he does not read the text files:

No se puede, lo siento. No tengo pi y no sé cómo funciona su sistema de archivos, así que lo siento, no puedo ayudarte.

How do i make it work in the attract mode of Retropie in Raspberry Pi?

You can not, i'm sorry. I do not have pi and i do not know how your file system works, so i'm sorry, i can not help you.

Finally I bought a Raspberry Pi 3B + and I'm working on a version of this theme for the pi, although I have many problems in the lists generation, when I have something moderately functional and I'll let you know.

Hello iOtero. I was just curious to know the progress on the Raspberry Pi Attract Mode version of this theme. It looks quite impressive and was wondering if it could be incorperated at its current state (if you are continuing work on this project). I did some research on Fruitbox and maybe one or two other multimedia players, but they only work for Pi Zero up to Pi 3B+. Please let me know.

Thank you.  :)
