ThirdScreen Plugin for Platform Video Marquees, 3+ Screen Support, and more

[flynnb1234]

Wow - this app looks awesome.    I am not near my arcade machine at the moment so I don't have a chance to download the plugin or hookup a second monitor.   I would love to use this as a way to show controls during game play. I'm assuming (if I read it correctly) the game view mode will cycle through the images while the game is playing.   I was wondering (I didn't see it in the screenshots or what I read) if you can progress through the screen shots with a keyboard button click (if no click then the image/video/gif is the only one displayed).

If not, I'll throw it out as a feature request.    I'm in the process of rebuilding my cabinet and I wanted to integrate a ultra wide bar monitor - looking as something with a small screen of 4"x10" at the moment.    I was thinking it would be pretty cool if I use an admin button (I have 4 that aren't assigned yet) to toggle through images/videos/etc.   When I have games like Mortal Kombat I can show combo moves on subsequent images (with a button push). 

Thanks!

@flynnb1234 You can use it to display game controls but there is currently no option to cycle though images with a button press.

Hi, i want to know if ThirdScreen work with Hyperspin. 

I want to see video marquees on my second screen, but rightnow i´am using Hypermarquee software and that target is imposible.

Hi. No it won't work with HyperSpin, you should just switch to LaunchBox :). HyperMarquee will display video files but they can't loop. Converting the video files to gifs was the only way I could get video marquees to loop forever back when I was using HyperSpin.

Hola. No, no funcionará con HyperSpin, simplemente debes cambiar a LaunchBox :). HyperMarquee mostrará archivos de video, pero no se pueden reproducir en bucle. Convertir los archivos de video a GIF era la única forma en que podía lograr que las marquesinas de video se reprodujeran en bucle indefinidamente cuando usaba HyperSpin.

Thank you very much for your reply. I have put too much work into my Hyperspin at the moment to change it right now. Without going off topic too much, could you tell me how I could display my video files in HyperMarquee, I can't get it to play either .mp4 or .flv. Thanks.

Sorry I won't be of any help. It's been too long since I've used it. Try asking in r/HyperSpin. If you do want to convert them to gifs though, I remember that Apple Keynote was the only program I could find that produced gifs that would work. Other programs would use optimizations that HyperMarquee would choke on.
