[download] NEVATO theme

Oh, my fault. I was miscalculating.

The correct code is :

Code: [Select]

local bgart = fe.add_artwork( "flyer", flw*0.4321, flh*0.0416, flw*0.256, flh*0.583);
bgart.preserve_aspect_ratio = true;

Woaw thx for this man, much appreciated. By the way change the aspect ratio code to "false" so it can resize the flyer to fit automatically.

I have some trouble with the video snaps.

I have a Pi 3, and low-res (240p) snaps.
The snaps always start playing, but then sometimes the video will freeze and/or there is a gray "overlay" over the video.
I call it an overlay, because the sound from the video snap keeps playing. But no video.
If i change to a different game, the video snap starts playing again, but eventually ends up either freezing, or getting the gray overlay.

I've checked the video snaps on other devices, and there's nothing wrong with them.
It also varies when it stops playing....sometimes after a couple of seconds, sometimes longer.

Any idea what can cause this?

I've tried overclocking the Pi as well, but no difference in behavior there.

Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35PRYAMAIJo

Not the direct solution - but you can convert a few videos to XviD and see if it helps.

Thanks! That did the trick.
Was hoping to save some disk space, but it's better than nothing

If I understand it correctly - newest AM version supports vid acceleration on RPI. So maybe your issue will go away when you update AM to 2.2.0

Ok. No more than a week old that release. I'll try to update. Thanks again!
Awesome layout BTW!

I have another problem. My videos plays correctly at 60 fps at the start but after few seconds they drop to 30/40 and didn't play smooth. I've checked the CPU and the usage is really low. I've tried with the "grid" theme and it works fine with my videos, so there must something in the theme.

[verion]

I don't have a clue what can be changed in theme.
In my theme video is just scaled and skewed to fit the screen - no other fancy shader effects that could affect the performance.

You can try REFLECT theme (it's shipped with AM IIRC) that has the same kind of skewed screen and see if it's ok.

Make sure your Attract mode is compiled with HW Acceleration, and in the General options make sure  "Hardware decoder" = mmfl (sorry can't remember exactly, but make sure its not Software).

[Tharon]

@verion

Reflex has the same slowdown. So it can the software decode. Anyway, are your skew coordinate correct ? I'm using the aspect ratio=true to avoid stretching the screenshots, but for some games it works really bad (an example : king of dragons)

@vykyan

I have only the software decode option available. It's the official Attract Mode Binary (version 2.0.0-1).

[verion]

Try the AM 2.2.0 that supports HW video acceleration. Or convert your videos to XviD.

RE: aspect ratio=true

I'm using =false to fill the screen. It works great... but not for vertical snaps. I'm planning to fix that in next revision.

[Tharon]

I'm already using 2.2.0.0-1 and i can't change the video decoder (on windows 7).

[verion]

I can't help you with that - try in a AM release thread

Hey guys, I get the following error when trying the Nevato theme. I downloaded it from the Onyx website. Am I not using the latest version or ...?
