Video Arcade Marquee Files V.1.1 1.1.0

Can you post a few more samples, especially of a video?

It's a big download just to see what it is. At this point I didn't think LB/BB supported video marquees yet, how are you using them? (Or is this just for future use?)

If i recall, Retrohumanoids's Unified Refried was coded for video marquees for arcade. He even included 4-5 with the theme.

Edit: Sorry, i see these are intended for a 2nd marquee monitor. (RH's theme supports vid marquee in arcade platform as part of the cab art)

hiya maybe im  seeing past it but how do you install this on launchbox?

 

So as of right now, there is no support for video marquees on LaunchBox to use these videos, correct?

What themes support video marquee?

I will try to do a video marque using Community Editor, but always show a Black windows, never play video.

Anybody can help in this point?

Should be able to use these now in 11.18 Beta 3 and forward

It's showing that the archive is corrupt for me? Anyone else getting that?

Thanks for the link! Much appreciated. Downloading now 🙂

No probs. I’m constantly updating it so it’s probably the best way to keep upto date lol.

Feedback is always welcome, and there’s some different versions for different games as well

That's brilliant! Thanks for all your hark work 🙂

@philbobaggins I tried your video marquees at the weekend. Unfortunately, due to the my marquee screen being a stretched LCD they don't sit quite right.

It's such a shame as I absolutely love them!

My stretched LCD has a 16:3 ratio (I think it's 1366x256 pixels). On the 'image' marquees they can be 'stretched' to fill the screen via the xaml file in the Views folder (GameMarqueeView.xaml) but, I don't think this can be done with video.

So, I thought about maybe tackling a project like this myself but creating the videos in 16:3 aspect ratio. I wondered if it was possible to understand how you are going about it and then I could maybe use your technique but 'tweak it' for different types of screen?

Are you using software to do it? Or are you curating each video yourself somehow? 

It might be beyond my ability to do what you're doing but I thought that if I could find out "how" you were doing it, and manage myself I could have a go then maybe upload them to your GDrive to go as a torrent for a different marquee screen?

Any help/advice would be great. (Even if it doesn't fit, I still like looking at the waves on the 1943 one in between credits!!!) 🙂

Stretching videos should be possible. Inside your GameMarqueeView.xaml file add the StretchVideo="True" to the video marquee flow video code, which looks like this:

<coverFlow:FlowVideo x:Name="MarqueeVideo" VideoType="Marquee" DataContext="{Binding SelectedGame}" PlayVideo="True" PlayAudio="False" FallbackToDefault="False" StretchVideo="True">

Yes!!! @faeran does it again!!! Superb matey! Thank you so much. That worked a treat!!

I've also just got my head around Big Box Theme Creator this morning for making marquees etc so can adjust the images to make them suit my marquee screen too!

This is going to make a big difference thanks to @philbobaggins for the videos and you for getting them to look awesome on my marquee screen.

I'm one happy fella  

That’s brill  I’m not a big box user, and these have been made for my pi arcade :)

 

I create them using a mixture of PowerPoint, and a simple video editing software, depending on where I can find the relevant images (if they are any good, or quality) and then export as a .mp4 file. 
 

ive done a load more, so here’s the link to the google drive where they are, have fun

Thanks dude  I make them using a mixture of PowerPoint and a simple video editing software, not difficult, and I’m deffo not saying they are amazing but they do the trick :)

 

im always adding more, so here’s a link to my google drive where I keep them all, feel free to download and use.

Wow!! You've been really busy!!

Great work matey and thanks for letting me know your "method". Not sure how you would use Powerpoint for them but I'm rubbish at PP.

They look fantastic  

Edited November 2, 2021 by Johnny T

Haha a mixture of transitions, and nicking images off the web. 
 

the hardest bit is finding good quality images to use, that’s what takes the time. When you save a PowerPoint you can save it as a windows media file, (ie a video) and then convert it to .mp4

ill keep plodding on doing them  feel free tI add me on Facebook

Phil Claude Carswell, (send me a message and I’ll add you) if you have any requests and I’ll see what I can do :)

For anyone else finding this. I managed to get this working and have posted my relevant xaml files in another thread 

 

I don't want to repost them in here and clutter the thread up but that link might help someone in the future. The videos look amazing on my marquee now thanks to Phil's hard work 🙂

That brill that dude  always great when you see something you’ve done on someone else’s system

 

amazing thank you for sharing
