Video snaps w/ "External Applications" / "More Games & Programs" menu

[alexdog69]

hi,

does anyone know how to get video snaps working with the external apps menu?

i've added a couple EXEs to this menu .. and set the snap names ... the 'help bubble' that u see when u mouse over the fields says to put the snaps in GameEx\Media\Logos ... I've put made a directory with that name and put the .AVI's in there .... and I've tried setting the snap name for the program to name of the file both with and without .AVI .. neither works.

anyone know how to get this working ?

im kind of wondering why this menu doesn't let you define a snap path like the emulators ... maybe the media\logos dir is not right and i just need to put the files somewhere else?

I'm thinking that only .JPG / .PNG are supported ? :-(

hmm....but just tried it with a test .JPG and no luck on that one either.

gameex\media\logos\ might be the wrong place to put it?

I'm pretty sure that PNG is supported. You got the logos in the right place, it's just about the naming really. Unfortunately, you have to make the PNG or JPG name match the EXE name, and movies are not supported at this time.

Theres a mistake in the config help description.

Should be \gameex\themes\[theme]\logos

Not sure if videos are supported or not, if not add a feature request and ill look at it.

Cheers.
