General Discussion & Help / Re: video in menu
« Last post by JonahUK on August 21, 2023, 10:45:59 AM »
For system_artwork usage, name your mp4 as video.mp4 or if calling from the layout\collections folder, use the correct mode argument (mode="system" / "layout" etc)

Help / Playlist Sounds
« Last post by throwingmuse on August 08, 2023, 05:28:32 PM »
Is it possible to add sound events to the global playlist menu structure (i.e. categories)? I would like to add a highlight and select sound to this menu structure.

It appears that animation changes between playlist menu changes are controlled with

Code: [Select]
<onPlaylistEnter>
</onPlaylistEnter>
I tried adding a sound event within this construct:

Code: [Select]
<onPlaylistEnter>
<set duration="0.01"><animate type="width" to ="500"/><animate type="height" to ="500"/><animate type="volume" to="1"/></set>
<set duration="0.05"><sound type="highlight" src="sounds/highlight.wav"/></set>
</onPlaylistEnter>

I know that highlight, select, load, and unload sounds can be added globally, but I cannot find the correct area to add sounds to the global vertical playlist menu which stays on screen across all other areas.

Please see the attached file for an example.

My layout file does have the following set:

Code: [Select]
<layout width="1920" height="1080" font="Roboto-Bold.ttf" loadFontSize="32" fontColor="EEEEEEE">

<sound type="load"      src="sounds/loadcfw.wav"/>
<sound type="unload"    src="sounds/unloadcfw.wav"/>
<sound type="highlight" src="sounds/highlight.wav"/>
<sound type="select"    src="sounds/select.wav"/>

General Discussion & Help / Re: Merged collections custom game order
« Last post by args on August 06, 2023, 10:02:55 AM »
Hi, may I ask if this is still being looked at? I’m trying to do the same thing, but when you have a merged collection you can’t manually sort them by the order they’re listed. It kind of works, but if you have a playlist with roms from different collections via .sub files it will split them instead of sorting them all together by how they’re listed in the sub files. It works if you sort them alphabetically, but not by manual sort (the order they’re listed in the sub or playlist files).

Hi, is it possible to add a feature that allows you to custom-sort roms within a collection or sub-collection? Maybe via order in a .sub, include.txt, or playlist.txt file?

thank you

OK, thank you Pieter.  One more piece of information that may be useful here:

I took my entire Windows RetroFE set up, and cloned it to an Ubuntu box.  The problem only occurs in Windows and not in Linux.  In Linux, my Capcom and NeoGeo collections appear as expected.  It's only in Windows where I'm seeing every title from the Arcade collections.

Looks like I might have caused an issue in an earlier change in this code then when I wanted to filter for included roms when loading an entired .sub into a merged collection. I'll mark it down as something I have to look into; see if I can reproduce the problem, and then fix it.

Certainly.  So here, I just started RetroFE, I opened the Arcade collection.  Then I backed out and opened the Capcom collection.  And finally, I backed out and entered the NeoGeo collection.

Since the log is rather long, I figured a pastebin link would be wiser: https://pastebin.com/VU0FGiK9

Thanks very much Pieter.  Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

That should be the default behavior. Can you provide me with a log.txt file so I can have a look?

I have an Arcade collection with a curated include.txt (as well as an exclude.txt to make sure I didn't include any games that are NSFW).  No path to the roms is provided, I'm relying on my mame.ini to specify where MAME should look for the roms.  Everything works fine.

I have a Capcom and NeoGeo collection, both with their own Arcade.sub files.  Nothing magical here, just a list of every Capcom game and every NeoGeo game that I want sublisted from the Arcade collection.

Whenever I go into Capcom or NeoGeo, every game in the Arcade include.txt shows up.  I don't want this.  I only want to see the games that I have listed in the Arcade.sub files for each collection.  How do I prevent all of the other games from appearing?

Thank you.
