      @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.

      Lee

        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:
              https://virginia.byf.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/pexels-photo-358483-1920x360.jpg

                @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>

                            merci beaucoup de nous avoir repondu.
                            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?

                                      Hi, I also had the same problem.
                                      It seems that the ultra wide screen is not really 1920 x 360. I solved it by setting it to 1920 x 1080 by editing lines 14, 15 and 170

                                      13  # marquee resolution: change to suit your marquee screen
                                      14  marquee_width = 1920
                                      15  marquee_height = 1080
                                      
                                      168   # path to image viewer executable & options
                                      169   viewer = /usr/bin/fbv2
                                      170   viewer_opts = --noinfo --enlarge --ignore-aspect {file}
                                      

                                      Let me know if you solve at least partially

                                            @toniosj It's from CaisonLCD in China - model number DV190FBM.

                                            It's a 19.1" panel with resolution 1920x360
                                            Dimensions are 116mm(L) x 87.3mm(W) x 19mm(H)

                                            There are now quite a few different panels available on Amazon too.
