[resolved] noob question - how to have a snap image shown if a video is not available ?

[htw8849]

Hi,

I'm very new to game ex. So it might be already asked but I couldn't find it with the "search forum" function.

I have downloaded mp4-video-files as well as snaps for the Coleco Vision from emumovies and put it

under the right directories, configured game ex where to find that stuff.

Now if I browse through that list, videos are displayed fine. But if a video to a certian game is

not aviable, game ex simply doesn't shows anything. (e.g. Dig Dug prototype - for this game,

there is currently no video existing)

If I turn of the videos (in removing the path for videos in the game ex config), game ex shows

the snap of each game fine.

So my question: Is there a way, that if mp4-videos are configured and a single video is missing,

game ex displays the snap image of this particular game instead of a blank image ?

P.S.: In case it should be related to the theme, I'm using the "Arcade 84"-Theme

Hi HTW. Welcome to the forums. You will need to provide us with the log.txt file. Please be sure to turn the video path back "on" first. You can find this under \gameex\log\log.txt . Additionally, please provide us with a copy of your gameex.ini file located under \gameex\config\gameex.ini .

Please attach them in your reply to this post. Once we have them we can review and provide you with suggestions on how to make it work for you.

One thing to keep in mind is that GameEx is going to default to displaying a video file first, followed by a snap. There may be something else at play and your log file and ini file may help.

One thing to keep

Hi,

thanks for the hint with the log file ... there I could see that there was a typo in the path towards the snap dir.

So sorry for bothering you.

It's now working the way it's supposed to

So I'm gonna close this thread.
