Collection Video of differing position..

(1/2) > >>

thatgammon:
Hi all,

Im trying to add another video (seperate from the roms video) as a background behind.
Rather than cover art to all collections to the lower half of the screen.

I can do it at a video src element (global) , but what i would like to do is change the x,y's on specific collections.
So ps1 the y would be this high, ps2 slightly lower etc.

Im only changing the y's..

So reloadable video ps1, x=0, y=700
ps2 x=0, y=800.

im writing a 3 tier menu layout and this would only be needed in menuIndex="2"


My thought process was have in every collection/system_artwork/videofile

then a code in layout every collection name with varying y values mode="system".
Sratching head on how..

Im not sure if this is possible but if it is can anyone point me in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance.

Pieter Hulshoff:
Every collection can have its own layout. Please read the manual: http://www.retrofe.nl/wiki/doku.php?id=layouts

thatgammon:
Apologies, i was looking at the manual about video parameters... you have just given me so many options...

Excuse my noobness... cheers.

thatgammon:
Excellent that has solved that... One more, is there a way i can play a looped video that starts in the original layout and keeps playing when selecting a collection layout?

Pieter Hulshoff:
I’m afraid not. If you use different layout files, RetroFE will exit one and start the next.
