GameEx Intro Video

[Gundoid]

Hey Folks,

Just started using GameEx two weeks ago, after having used Hyperspin for about a year previous, and absolutely love it!!!! Incredible Front End to say the least.

I've configured several emulators and additional features, which are working very well, but for some reason am completely unable to get an Intro Video to play on start-up of GameEx. My intro sequence of button indicators, controlled by LEDBlinky, operates but only what I believe to be the default Intro Video plays.

I've performed the following steps to configure the Intro Video:

1. In Setup "HTPC/Multimedia Settings" > "Video/Movies Settings" > "Startup Video/Dir" I've entered the path of "C:\Assets\Intro".

2. Placed file "Start.avi" in the directory "C:\Assets\Intro".

3. Confirmed that the video will play outside of GameEx.

4. During the course of troubleshooting I've tried adding the name of the video file, with and without the file extension, in the path mentioned in item 1 but no joy.

5. During the course of researching forum posts found a reference to a "-quick" parameter that may circumvent the Intro Video. Located this parameter in the "Launch.bat" file and removed it but no joy.

I've attached the "GameEx.ini" and "Log.txt" files for reference.

If I am overlooking something very simplistic my apologies in advance. Have read numerous posts and revisited the settings multiple times but am missing it.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.

I'd go to "Enable/Disable features" in the setup wizard and check to see if Skip Intro is set to Yes. I'm extremely new to GameEx but it's a thought.

Zero Dreams,

Gave it a shot but turns out my setting for "Skip Intro" is set to "No".

Thanks for the response!!

Hi Gundoid and welcome

If you require a video to play when you boot GameEx i believe it needs to be in your themes media folder. It should also be named GameExIsLoading, so GameExIsLoading.avi, GameExIsLoading.mp4 etc. So to clarify it should be somewhere like this (assuming it's an MP4):

...\GameEx\THEMES\TheThemeYouAreUsing\MEDIA\GameExIsLoading.mp4

You may also need to enable it in Enable/Disable Features i can't remember
