Themes / Re: The Great Themes Collection v5.2 [Final Release]

« on: August 25, 2020, 06:34:12 PM »

First - amazing theme!

Now on to business.. Running on a Pi4.  The At-The-Arcade theme lags for me like crazy.  I went into the settings and disabled some options and now everything is pretty smooth except for the animated background video.  The polygon video runs just fine so it's strange that the other one stutters.  Any ideas how to get that video to run better?

My other question is where is the config to change the background image if I decide to add my own to the At-The-Arcade theme?  I was going to play around with some similar static images or possibly some other videos to see if they work better.  I just can't find where the theme looks to "acknowledge" the existence of other images or videos to use.

Thanks for any help!

Did the recompile.  At the end, I keep getting this:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libsfml-window.so: undefined reference to `gbm_bo_ge                                t_stride'

That appears for 15 of the gbm.. entries.  Then:

Code: [Select]

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:492: attract] Error 1
pi@retropie:~/develop/attract $ /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libsfml-window.so: undefined reference to `gbm_bo_ge                                                   t_stride'
> ^C

Ugh.  Not sure if that is related to my original problem.  Everything still runs fine as far as Attract Mode.  Still have the same Tab issue and not being able to get to the display menu.  Maybe I'll just have to live with it.

Same thing happened.

I'll try a recompile.

Thanks for your continued help.

Thanks for replying.  There were only 7 lines total.  Line 7 in that file is:

Code: [Select]

attract #auto
This is the full autostart.sh:

Code: [Select]

isdual=`tvservice -l |grep "2 attached device" |wc -l`
if [[ $isdual == "1" ]]; then
  /usr/bin/python /home/pi/PieMarquee2/PieMarquee2.py &
fi
while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done
(sleep 10; mpg123 -f 8192 -Z /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/music/*.mp3 >/dev/null 2>&1) &
attract #auto

Any ideas?

Couldn't get help there because I'm using a 3rd party image.  This is what I get when I push tab:



I'd appreciate any other help or ideas I could try.

Hi, thanks for replying.  I checked the file and mine is the same:

Code: [Select]

input_map
configure                 Joy0 Button49
select                    Joy0 Button122
back                      Joy0 Button1073742049
prev_letter               Joy0 Button32
next_letter               Joy0 Button120
add_favourite             Joy0 Button1073742048
edit_game                 Joy0 Button13
configure            Tab
prev_letter          LControl+Up
next_letter          LControl+Down
filters_menu         LControl+Left
next_filter          LControl+Right

select               Return
select               LControl

default             up prev_game
default             down next_game
default             left prev_display
default             right next_display

There are no other instances of the word TAB in that config.  Anything else I can try?

General / Has anybody gotten video files to work on PieMarquee2?

« on: August 20, 2020, 09:19:25 AM »

I'm running PieMarquee2 with Attract Mode on a Pi4 and everything is running just fine except if I try to use a video file as my main file. All the help says is:


    Maintitle video for default marquee "maintitle.mp4" in "/home/pi/PieMarquee2/marquee/" folder optional

When I do that, the video pops up for 1 second then bounces back to a black loading type screen for 1 second and does this over and over. I've tried with different videos and resolutions.

Has anybody gotten a video to work as "maintitle"?

Thanks.

General / Pi4 Attract Mode display menu for themes?

« on: August 20, 2020, 09:12:11 AM »

I'm using Attract Mode on a Pi4 and everything is running great. The only thing is I can't change any themes. It lets me download some new ones and even gives me the note to hit TAB to access the display menu to change themes.

Problem is, when I hit TAB, it kicks me to a pi@retropie:~$ prompt and then I can't do anything else. What am I doing wrong? Is there anything else I can try?
