@nexusone13 Hello!
Bonne nouvelle pour le thème Next Pixel puisque plusieurs personnes me l'on demandé. Je n'ai pas encore eu l'occassion d'utiliser ARRM et du coup c'est intégrer directement dans l'outil? y'a il possibilité de charger un mix externe, je peux éventuellement créer les mix adapté pour ARRM de mon coté, à discuter ensemble ce qui est le mieux.

[nexusone13]

@myst j'ai crée manuellement les mix appropriés listés dans ton fichier next_pixel.xml. Je reprends ton tes .png et je fais un petit .xml perso interprétable par arrm (j'ai fait divers templates pour ARRM visible ici : http://www.jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=templates_available_fr). Si jamais tu sors d'autres mix, n'hésite pas à me le faire savoir que je crée le .xml associé. Et encore félicitations pour ton superbe thème.

[ViRuS-MaN]

next pixel et pour moi le meilleur thème pour revalbox , aucun autre thème n a été aussi beau pour moi , franchement tu a fait un thème qui tue et tous mes potes sont étonné de voir mon odroid xu4 avec une aussi belle interface

[mYSt]

@virus-man merci ça fait plaisir!
@nexusone13 ok alors du coup tu utilises la version 1080p du mix et ça ira très bien pour les pc et odroid mais ceux qui ont un raspberry vont rapidement se plaindre de pb mémoire je pense. Y a t'il une option dans ARRM pour resizre les mix généré? sinon il faudra décliner le mix pour chaque package, en fait actuellement suivant le package que tu télécharges 1080/720/480/crt/crt_small le xml du mix est adapté à sa taille.
A voir si on peut trouver une solution sur ce point à l'avenir.

@nexusone13 :
je viens de tester en suivant tes indications pour le template ( copier +coller) mais les snap video ne fonctionne pas pour moi.
ps: super boulot a tous les 2, bosser en colab pour nous pondre un RB d'enfer!

[nexusone13]

Bonjour @lecureuil38
As-tu bien coché la case 'Récupérer la video (Video Tag)' dans l'onglet 'Images options' lorsque tu as scrapé ?

[nexusone13]

@myst les mix générés font un peu moins de 300 ko en 1260x1080

[ViRuS-MaN]

chez moi tout fonctionne nickel , je peux le dire car j ai fait pas mal de test pour nexusone13 et même en 720p ca fonctionne nickel

[mYSt]

@nexusone13 Allors attention je parle de pb memoire GPU et pas de pb de stockage, du coup c'est une histoire de resolution et pas de poid de fichier.

[nexusone13]

@myst je vais ajouter, dans la prochaine version, dans les xml, une indication pour le resizing.

[mYSt]

ok merci!

[lecureuil38]

@nexusone13 : bien coché. mais j'ai trouver l'erreur :
dans la zone nom répertoire vidéos ( onglet option général) j'avais indiqué "media\videos" au lieu de "media/videos" ce qui fait toute la différence, même si les vidéos étaient bien téléchargées dans le répertoire vidéo.
