Add a text element to the view and change the constant value to the following

this will show the file name and you can determine if you have the file name or not

{Binding Path=Text, ElementName=UserDefinedVideo2ImageFile}

 

Hi @y2guru,

I finally managed to make it work.

My problem was that I was working on a specifi playlist view, with games from different platforms, so I had the videos within a subfolder named after the playlist (all of them inside). I've had to create subfolders per platform, and include there the videos of the games of those platforms.

Thanks a lot for your help!

That’s good , but now you have an easy way to debug visually

Hi @y2guru,

Would it be possible to display the game video twice on the same view? The effect that we are pursuing is the one below (we are using a game video element and a user defined video element, for the same video, positioned in different locations and using an image mask to hide the part that belongs to the other screen), so that for platforms with a split screen we can align perfectly the game video in both of them.

Best!

Sure, I will add that to version 1.0.9.0 if I can mute the audio for the 2nd instance

Unblock the zip file first, as mentioned in the description.

No se si lo han preguntado o sugerido acá, pero me gustaría preguntarle si es posible estirar un ''videosnap'' con ''perspectiva'', para que el video pueda ajustarse a la pantalla de tv que muestro en la imagen, estuve probando de varias maneras y no pude hacer que el video se ajuste bien en la tv. Es posible que se añada ésta opción en alguna futura actualización? gracias.

Actualmente solo puede usar las opciones de inclinación y rotación, lo que probablemente se vería bien en esa imagen, pero cortaría la pantalla en Photoshop y tendría el video detrás.

You can only use the skew and rotate options currently, which would proberly look fine on that image but I would cut the screen out in photoshop and have the video behind.

Hi! Amazing that you made this tool!

However i dont seem to be able to get it to run. When i try to run it i get a popup that tells me the file or shortcut cant be accessed.

I did unblock the zip, and i tried to run it as admin.

 

Any ideas on what i should try?

Thanks!

I'm having some issues with theme files built using version 1.0.8.0. Is it possible to download older versions of the application anywhere?
