Thanks Tom ! Much appreciated.

[Dublin London]

Yeah thanks! So far it's all good!

[dwight]

Thanks Tom!

Unfortunately, on my system, the startup videos still don't work

The GameEx loading screen comes up, then the screen goes black and I can hear the movie play, but the screen stays black and never returns to the menu screen. I still need to go to start manager to quit. INI and log file attached.

Regards,

Dwight.

This sounds like a Codec issue to me.

GameEx has issues with the latest FFDSHOW builds. Theres info in the FAQ.

[dwight]

Thanks, that did fix it - weird because the latest FFDSHOW codec was working fine with everything else in GameEx.

Any chance of having the more options in the vid directories, so that GameEx checks an video_artwork folder and then a horizontal and then a vertical folder for the preview snapshots? This would work well with Circo's torrent download.

And an option toquit the startup video after hitting a button?

Thx

Dwight

Put those requests in the features request thread. I think the quit startup video by button press would be a good idea especially if you choose the one that shows the whole arcade fly through (~5 minutes as I recall).

It should already do that. Not working for you?

[starbuck]

Has always worked for me. I just hit escape when the video starts and it loads my menu

[bkenobi]

Don't use intro videos, but if I did, this would be something I would try first. Good to see it's already there!

[greatflash]

My intro movie runs for 3 hours and is possibly on the long side. It was getting a little annoying watching the video every time..

Why did no-one tell me i could press a button.?

I tried everything else... Opening the fridge door, jumping on balloons, stealing sweets from children, and even patting my head while rubbing my tummy.. Nothing seamed to work...

Wow - GameEx does EVERYTHING...

I was suffering a morning of severe mental instability, and complete insanity, sorry about the hitting a button note and posting in the wrong thread. Yes, hitting a button does skip the video for me. I think my X-Arcade sometimes plays up - maybe when the poota side of things gets too hot.

Only having a joke at your expense

I do like to have a joke, these padded walls get so tiring and dull
