      @daniel6984 Par défaut fbv2 affiche l'image le plus grand possible au centre mais conserve le rapport hauteur/largeur.

      Pour ignorer les proportions de l'image il faut utiliser les options --enlarge --ignore-aspect:

      dynquee.ini ligne 169:

      [slideshow]
      viewer = /usr/bin/fbv2
      viewer_opts = --noinfo --enlarge --ignore-aspect {file}
      

      Si tu as réglé la bonne résolution de l'écran marquee, les images seront en plein écran.

        @poppadum Merci beaucoup , je vais procéder comme ça, avec la ligne que tu ma dit de modifier👍 , je n'est plus les barres noires , par contre ça élargie pas mal d'image😲 , mais ce n'est pas grave car ça prend en compte la résolution des packs d'images que je modifie moi même avec un soft😁 , avec fbv2 le rapport hauteur/largeur ne ce fais pas j'ai toujours des barres noires😕 .

          @poppadum I am having the same issues as daniel and have tried both of the suggestions that you made. The first just moved the image to the top of the screen. The second improved things but still has black bars top and bottom of the screen, Any help on this would be appreciated!

          other things i noticed is the Racalbox start video runs full screen at the initial boot, then when dynquee shows it is not full screen.

            @poppadum a little more info as i have been messing about with this for a couple of hours without success and have noticed a few things that i am not sure are correct.
            *my display is 1920x360 and i have set this up correctly
            *when the system boots the Recalbox intro video runs full screen on the marquee display
            *The dynquee picture displays on the marquee for a very short time and then shows a recalbox picture with the 4 pacmen
            *the pictures that should display on the marquee are shown on the main screen on and off.

              *the pictures that should display on the marquee are shown on the main screen on and off.

              On a Pi, both displays share the same framebuffer so usually the dynquee display is briefly visible on the main screen when an emulator launches or exits. A bit annoying, but we can't do much about it.

              *my display is 1920x360 and i have set this up correctly

              OK, that's good; just to double check, if you run the commandfbset it should confirm that the framebuffer is indeed set to 1920x360.

              still has black bars top and bottom of the screen

              What size of the images are you using for your marquee? 1920x360 is a common size so I suggest you start from an existing set (see e.g. the Super Pixelcade set).

              To check how your images display on the marquee, stop dynquee with
              /etc/init.d/S32dynquee stop
              then try displaying one of your marquee images with e.g.
              fbv2 /recalbox/share/dynquee/media/mame/1942.jpg (replace with a path to a marquee image).

              You can experiment with the --enlarge and --ignore-aspect options, but personally I just resize all my marquee images to be 360 pixels high (my marquee is also 1920x360).

              *The dynquee picture displays on the marquee for a very short time and then shows a recalbox picture with the 4 pacmen

              I'm not 100% sure why that is. Make sure that in your /etc/recalbox.conf (section J) you have
              system.secondminitft.enabled=0
              or the line commented out.

              You could also try disabling the intro video with
              system.splash.length=0
              (section A)

                @poppadum Thanks for the very detailed response and the time you have taken out of your free time to respond to me. Firstly i am a very inexperienced on the software side, but i love to learn. Unfortunately that might generate a lot more questions. I hope you don't mind and let me know if i become a pain.

                I didn't know i needed to add any images, it just seemed to be working out of the box so to speak. I will look at the guide and see if i can add some images with the correct size and see if that works.

                i don't have a lot of free time this week so there might be a delay getting back to you with questions or to let you know it is working 😉

                Thanks again and thanks for putting this project out there for everyone to use.

                  No problem at all - I'll try my best to help.

                  It can use scraped images as a last resort, but I always intended to use images sized roughly to my marquee screen, so I just assumed everybody else would do too.

                  The are some docs in English (no other languages yet but I'm happy to add them if anyone wants to translate): see the README and probably the config guide.

                      @poppadum ok so some more playing

                      by un hashing this line i got the resolution to show 1920x360 but it now pushes the image to the top of the screen
                      framebuffer_resolution_cmd = /usr/sbin/fbset -g ${global:marquee_width} ${global:marquee_height} ${global:marquee_width} ${global:marquee_height} 16

                      3923460a-380d-4f14-9744-b3b296ad427b-image.png

                      this is how a 1920x360 image is showing
                      4771fe0b-f54a-4256-9cd5-60bb29f6c74b-image.png

                      frustration is that the start up video is running full screen on this screen.

                        That looks good - I get exactly the same output.

                        this is how a 1920x360 image is showing
                        4771fe0b-f54a-4256-9cd5-60bb29f6c74b-image.png

                        Bizarre: that looks like it's taking up exactly one-third of the height which is what it would do if it thought the resolution was 1920x1080.

                        Could you try stopping dynquee with
                        /etc/init.d/S32dynquee stop
                        double check your framebuffer resolution with fbset
                        then manually displaying that image with
                        fbv2 path/to/your/image

                        You could also try with another 1920x360 image such as:

                          @poppadum Thanks for your help on this. it seems to be an issue with the driver board for the screen. purchased another board and this seems to fix the image size issue but has created a white line down the middle of the screen. It seems i have two faulty boards! Have emailed the manufacturer to see if they can help.

                            @poppadum bonjour,

                            Sur la version 9.1 de recalbox , il y a la possibilité d'afficher des systèmes virtuels par genre en passant par les paramètres avancés\systèmes virtuels\systèmes virtuels par genre.

                            Quand je choisis par exemple le systèmes virtuels shoot em up, il apparait bien sur le menu de navigation mais j'arrive pas a afficher le marquée, comment dois-je renommé l'image .logo.png pour qu'il apparaissent ?
                            Merci par avance.
                            Cordialement

                                  J'ai une question pour un ami, il a un rpi4 avec un RGB DUAL qui ce branche via les GPIO, il est brancher en péritel sur une petite télévision crt 14 pouces d'une résolution de 320x240 fréquence 15khz, il a voulu tester les marquees sur un écran lcd brancher en hdmi , mais les images apparaisse que sur la télévision crt, avez une astuce pour faire apparaitre les images marquee sur le lcd ?
                                  Je vous remercie

                                    Pour le raspberry pi 4, les deux écrans HDMI partagent le framebuffer, mais il semble qu'avec un RGB Dual le framebuffer ne s'affiche que sur le CRT.

                                    Pour Recalbox PC dynquee utilise mpv --screen=2 pour afficher les images sur l'écran 2. Pourrait-il tester si cela fonctionne avec:

                                    mpv --screen=2 --loop <image.png>

                                      Nous voulons tester la ligne que tu nous a donnée, nous somme que sur rpi4 , dans le .ini , ou faut-il insérer la ligne mpv --screen=2 --loop <image.png> ?
                                      Merci encor pour ton aide

                                        @daniel6984 Pour tester c'est plus facile d'accéder au cli et d'entrer

                                        mpv --screen=2 --loop /recalbox/share/dynquee/media/startup/startup.01.png
                                        

                                        Ou modifiez dynquee.ini lignes 169-170:

                                        viewer = /usr/bin/mpv
                                        viewer_opts = --screen=2 --loop {file}

                                            🤦 J'ai oublié qu'il faut aussi modifier (dynquee.ini ligne 174):

                                            terminate_viewer = yes
                                            

                                            mais plus d'image sur le CRT

                                            Tu vois rien sur le CRT, ni les images de marquee ni les jeux?
