  1. @Jason Carr OK I understand. Yes, that's exactly it :  no deformation + fills the screen vertically + horizontally screen overflows if necessary. I would like to make a series of platform video. For my 4:3 bartop. Given the time it will take me, it's a shame to dismiss directly the 16:9 screens! :(

    @Maddoc1007 Yes, I made the same observation. I continued searching.

    @Hexxxer Thx! I try this asap !! :D

    Here is a preview of what I have in mind. Nintendo Entertainment System.jpg

  2. You're right, I call @Jason Carr  assistance ! ^_^

    In fact, I see two levels where to place the video. And I dont know which one would work for my request. And how make this !

    #01 - background in video

    
    <Canvas Name="Canvas">
    
            <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" />
    
            <Grid Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}">

    #02 - classique image/video call

    
    <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true"/>

     

  3. Thx @Maddoc1007 , but it's don't work :

    
    <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stretch="Fill" />

    I have a error, on all te "Stretch" fonction. Whatever I put after.

  4. OK. Waiting the next @Jason Carr developer session focused on BigBox theme, I think about incorporating custom video platform.

    If I already my idea on design, I still have problem with code. I asked for help in this topic, so thank you for helping me ! If I make videos in 4:3 for my bartop, lots of people will not be able to use them. As if I did 16:9 it will be standard.

    Here is a preview of what I have in mind. :/ What do you think ?Nintendo Entertainment System.jpgSuper Nintendo Entertainment System.jpgNintendo GameCube.jpgArcade.jpg

  5. EDIT : Rewording

    I try to guarantee a good viewing for  platform fullHD videos (16:9) on 4:3 screen. But I have some problems and I need your help.

    This code line works well for images. This is what I want : Centered horizontally + Stretch vertically + Save proportion

    
    HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stretch="UniformToFill"

    BUT = This part don't work for videos. (Make a error in Visual Studio and BigBox)

    
    Stretch="UniformToFill"

    How can I make this ?? Any ideas ? Suggestion?

     

    To illustrate the idea into images, I want this on 16:9 screen :galaire_01.jpgAnd this on 4:3 screen :galaire_02.jpgBut today, it gives me that. And that is not good!galaire_03.jpgThanks !!!!  ^_^

  6. I think the first image error come from his weight, not supported by the forum. Too big with +3Mo. So, I'm going to have to update the main archive each time =/. I'll wait for more images to make release by batch. OK ?

    For now, on my to do list :

    • Arcade - Daphne
    • Arcade - Atomiswave
    • Arcade - Mame
    • ... some more ? Tell me.

    And for the SNES, it's because I'm French. And in France, we have a "Super Nintendo" with "Super Famicom" design. Thanks guys form marketing ! ^^

  10. Work in progress : new image set. ^_^  More polish, some modification and new home made games icons set.

    Theme_BarTop_WIP_020.jpg

    # PLATFORM VIEW 01 :

    To finish, I wait the left item align option + transparency. Variant will probably be like my EmulationStation theme. With/without scanline/banner.

    Theme_BarTop_WIP_014.jpg# GAMES VIEW 01 :

    Simple list mode. Cover angle and drop shadow are coded. No image changes need. I cant change the text size. Ideas ?

    Theme_BarTop_WIP_015.jpg# GAMES VIEW 02 :

    ClearLogo wheel. I'm still not happy with this view. The silver ring is fixed in the background. Not very elegant.

    Theme_BarTop_WIP_016.jpg# GAMES VIEW 03 :

    Horizontal cover flow. To finish, I wait the item down align + transparency code option.

    Theme_BarTop_WIP_017.jpg# GAMES VIEW 04 :

    More classic coverflow view. Here with reflect @ 10%.

    Theme_BarTop_WIP_018.jpg# GAMES VIEW 05 :

    Simple box view. Nothinf fancy here.
