Well ... I have tested, tweaked and reinforced the code to the best of my ability in the time I had leading up to today.

Should I pull the trigger and release Version 2.5 ?

Yes Please... I have a custom resolution and the Theme Creator helps create my themes to fit just right.

Thanks so much... I have been wanting to play with this for a while. Thanks for all your hard work.

[Marquee video's in playlists]

Hi

I haven't had a lot of time in the last few months to tinker with my cabinet but I wanted to ask before I waste my time doing trial and error.  I know I can show video on my marquee monitor for individual games but I also would like to do the same when i scroll through my multiple playlist's which are all under my Arcade platform.

Thanks in advance

I would be interested as I have thought of adding a 3 screen to my cabinet.

Since I needed to integrate the marquee display into an upright arcade case I got a reasonably priced caseless ultra wide monitor from China. Something like this: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001659262454.html

 

The new version of theme creator you are ale to create a video transition to a static image and many other other elements.  Here's an rough example I created for my cabinet marquee screen. 

I look forward to playing with it more in the coming days.

[Is it possible to have videos on marquee for platforms/playlists?]

Please let me know if you get anywhere with it. I'd started messing around with Camtasia last night and managed to take a 16:3 ratio section out of my Arcade Platform video snap which will play really well on my marquee (if I could get it to show videos). If I can get it working then I'll carry on making other platform/playlist videos. 🙂

So it looks like the ability to add videos to playlist marquee's isn't available in the Theme Creator and hopefully it gets added in the next update as it will be a great addition to my cabinet.

[Is it possible to have videos on marquee for platforms/playlists?]

I was just going to ask the same question. I will play in the theme creator and see if I can figure it out.

 

[Marquee Example - [Theme Workshop]]

Hey All

I created a mame marquee view for my cabinet in the Community Theme Creator and am pretty happy with the way it looks. 

In theme creator I created 90% of the marquee using the game metadata images shown below and put them in the Images/Arcade/Arcade-Marquee folder think it might load faster if all those elements were 1 image. Then in the marquee view I added the Text release year,  scrolling highscores, custom badge if it was a top 100 game and a favorite badge.  I need to learn how to adjust the visibilty of the Highscore text scroll so it only shows if there is an active highscore but I am not too concerned now. I want to also play around and maybe show a video snap on the arcade screen shown or played in the background?

I would be interested to try it out.

You can have more data show. It is possible to get any of the metadata fields to show. I have one marquee that show the game notes. Might be possible for the high-scores. Never tried so I cannot confirm. But if BB can show it, then it may work. 

Hi Retro

Is it possible you could let me know how you get game notes to show on you marquee monitor? I would love to be able to show Metadata along with the game marquee.

[Start up video Full Screen]

I solved my own problem... I figured out changing the size of the mp4 actually fixed my issue.

[Start up video Full Screen]

Hi Everyone 

I built a custom Arcade cabinet and used a TV which is installed in portrait mode and set a custom resolution of 2160x2160 and it works and looks great.  I have been trying to find where to change the startup video in Full screen. I easily found game marquee and platform marquee view in the theme scripts for my 2nd marquee monitor But I can't find anything in all the scripts pertains to start up video?  Any idea's...

Thanks in advance

[Future Dynamic Marquee Video Support]

I have been hoping we could play video on my marquee monitor also... I will check out the Marquee xaml idea. i have a beefy system so i am not concerned with stutter... Is there a plugin already created?

[hi score mame]

I love the Highscore feature especially since all I play is Mame and retro achievements doesn't have a lot of Mame or if any?  Thanks for all your hard work on improving Launchbox/Bigbox its a great Frontend for everyone.
