SpuRge Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I have a second lcd screen for my marquee and it has worked perfect untill one of the latest updates. The platform images are not showing. When I enter a platform the games are showing perfectly. Can someone help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Have you tested other themes to make sure it is not a theme issue? How do you have the the two monitors set to display in your Windows settings? Stacked on top of each other or side-by-side? Marquee monitor on the right should fix it.

SpuRge Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 I have them stacked on top of each other, when I enter a platform the game marquees are displayed like it should, I know platforrms search their marquees in the banner folder and the images are there with the correct names. I don't understand why this doesn't work anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpuRge Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 I found that the problem is my PlatformMarqueeView.xaml I use the same setup in my GameMarqueeView.xaml as in my PlatformMarqueeView.xaml For the games it works. Don't know why not for platforms. here is my setup : <UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:transitions="clr-namespace:Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf.Transitions;assembly=Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf" xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity" xmlns:cal="http://www.caliburnproject.org" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="562" d:DesignWidth="1000" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Style="{DynamicResource UserControlStyle}"> <!-- GRID DEFINITIONS --> <Grid Height="1080" Width="1920"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="0.5*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <RowDefinition Height="*" /> <RowDefinition Height="0.5*" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <!-- GAME MARQUEE --> <Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.MarqueeImagePath}" Stretch="fill" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" /> <TextBlock x:Name="GameMarquee" Visibility="Visible"> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Arcade - Marquee/_Default.png"> <Binding Path="SelectedGame.Platform"/> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> <Image x:Name="MainMarquee" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" Grid.Column="0" Source="{Binding Text, ElementName=GameMarquee, FallbackValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Arcade - Marquee/_Default.png'}" Opacity="100" Stretch="fill" Panel.ZIndex="1" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" /> </Grid> </UserControl> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 So, if I understand you correctly the code you posted above is that in both your PlatformMarqueeView.xml and you GameMarqueeView.xml, correct? If correct, then yeah that is your issue. The platform level this code will not work as it is looking for a "SelectedGame" and on the platform level a game is not selected. A game can only be selected once you go into the platform and see the game list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpuRge Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 yes I use this code for both. It has always worked that way. I don't undersand why it doesn't work anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 @Retro808 is correct. At some point the image binding must have changed, as the SelectedGame.MarqueeImagePath binding has never worked on a platform view before. By default, it should be: SelectedPlatform.BannerImagePath But really, you can punch in any platform specific image binding there, and it will show, as long as you have an image for it.

SpuRge Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Strange, must have changed it with the last update. Anway, I have it fixed now, thank you for pushing me in the right direction. Cheers 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Pidaso Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 @Darkseid001 I found the files, but path seems ok in both my marquee view and game view. Banners aren’t showing up for platforms and Marquees aren’t showing for games either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkseid001 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 go into the theme folder look at the xml file for the platform marquee the file path should point to banner images compare it to default and copy it and paste it to critical zone or whateve theme you use and save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 @Stew Pidaso In your Windows settings what position are your two monitors in? Are they stacked one on top of the other or side-to-side? If the first, then switch their positions so your marquee monitored is positioned to the right of the main monitor.

Stew Pidaso Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 that worked. i moved the monitor to the side and marquees and banners appeared. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Pidaso Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) @Retro808 thanks for the help bud. I have one more question a bit off topic. Can you tell me what folder the game platform backgrounds are stored in windows. Here’s an example of the background I need to find. You’ll notice one of the backgrounds is gray. I want to change the backgrounds on it Edited February 18, 2022 by Stew Pidaso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to change the backgrounds on it Those backgrounds are specific to the theme. So look inside the theme's folder. There will be an \Images folder. Might be located in something like \[Theme Name]\Images\Theme\Background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Pidaso Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 @Retro808 yeah I tried all those folders, just cannot find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
