[Recalbox 9] Theme Next Pixel

[lhari84]

Hi @myst, I tried the update-option of Skraper, but it seems Skraper always updates the changes I made manually in title, description, etc. to version found online too.
For me this behaviour should be normal, as Skraper can't know I want to keep the texts that differ from its database. But it's fatal in my case...

I'm afraid the only way to add just videos and new picture-sets only, while keeping all other content of gamelist as it is, would be to merge the metadata (especially <video>-tags) from "updated" gamelist to my original, backed up one in some way. But don't know how

j utilise les mix , je suis en train de les mettre mais dans mon dossier fbn j ai des sous dossiers et je vois le carre de la video ce qui est genant

[mYSt]

@lhari84 maybe ask from Skarper thread if this option could be added

@ViRuS-MaN Encore une fois la doc peut te répondre :

Known issues using Next Pixel mix:

Next Pixel mix uses some overlay on top of your scraped images to make your screenshots/videos appear like they were displayed on a screen (tv/monitor), unfortunately these overlay will appear also for your folders. If you don't use folders this won't be a issue. Note this issue may be fixed in a future Recalbox release.
For Favorites system videos won't always matched scraped screenshot size as favorites may contain different systems and each systems may have a different resolution. Due to this restriction overlay mention aboved won't be display for Favorites system and so integration may look a bit sloppy here.

Pour résumé bug connu avec les dossiers, possiblement corrigé dans une future version de Recalbox

[mYSt]

@ViRuS-MaN une solution temporaire consiste à supprimer le fichier next_pixel_mix_overlay dans le dossier es-theme-next-pixel\fba_libretro\data mais du coup le rendu avec les scrap sera moins joli

@myst said in [Recalbox 6.1+][Snap Videos][Custom mix] Next Pixel theme:

@lhari84 maybe ask from Skarper thread if this option could be added

Ok, I tried there.
Also wondering that not more people are facing this issue now, with implementing videos to their existing gamelists

By the way, if you need help with translations, I can do from English to German. (Because of your request in Readme)

Hello @mYSt , beau travail ce thème est magnifique !
J'ai donc voulu l'essayer dans ma Recalbox 6.1, j'ai téléchargé le thème 1080p
Je l'ai installé dans le répertoire share/themes sans changer le nom du répertoire, donc extrait sans modification.
Puis je l'ai activé dans Recalbox.
Je n'ai que des fonds noirs, et noms des systèmes sans images

Une idée ou conseil qui me peremttrait de comprendre pourquoi le thème ne s'affiche pas ?
Je précise que je n'avais pas touché avant au thème par défaut 'recalbox-next'

Salut @cyril92 Evite le 1080p avec un RPi ^^ Ca mange trop de RAM. Utilise une autre version, perso je suis sur la 480p sur le Pi.

[mYSt]

@cyril92 Comme le dit @Scavy ne prend pas le 1080p pour le PI3 plutot le 720 ou 480, mais surtout lis bien la doc tout y est expliqué.

Pour ton pb ça vient je pense du fait que tu as du mal installer le theme, verifies que tu n'as pas installé avec un chemin du style

• recalbox/themes/nextpixel/nextpixel/...
  eu lieu de
• recalbox/themes/nextpixel/...

Un redémarrage est parfois aussi nécessaire

[mYSt]

@lhari84 Indeed this is a pb if you edit gamelist with custom data by i guess most people leave it as is after scraping so this is not a pb for them.

You're welcome if you want to translate files, not mandatory but do you know how to use git/github? and are you comfortable with xml files?

[mYSt]

Pour les non anglophone la documentation en français est maintenant disponible ici!

Je recherche toujours des traducteurs pour d'autres langues, contactez moi.
I'm still looking for translators, please contact me.

[lhari84]

@myst
git/hub no, I haven't done software development yet.
xml yes, at least I'm able to read the gamelist.xmls and others and I'm able to modify them, if this helps

[lhari84]

Hi @mYSt,
I got another small issue when scraping new mix:
When I freshly scrape with your xml template, I recognize I don't have a good in-game screenshot anymore, but very often the in-game title screen or even worse.
For better understand what I mean, I attach an example, left the new image, right the old image.
Is this problem Skraper-related, or can i change something in your mix-template to receive all in-game screenshots again?

[ViRuS-MaN]

vraiment top ton thème , arrm va bientôt arriver avec les mix pour ton thème et le top c est qu on a rien a configurer , y a plus qu a attendre la mise a jour de arrm

[mYSt]

@lhari84 this is by designed, i choosed to display title screen since video will show in game footage next.
however you may easily change this from next_pixel_xml file, open file and replace all "ScreenshotTitle" with "Screenshot".
You're the second one to complain about this i may change that for future releases.

@ViRuS-MaN merci bonne nouvelle!

[lhari84]

@myst Great, thanks for your help! I guess when using video it's better to use "ScreenshotTitle"...

In my special case it's better to use "Screenshot", as I will implement new image mix only and not videos for now (as I can't keep my old metadata because there is no easy way to merge video tags ONLY from new scraped gamelist to my original one - the Skraper problem described above)

When I remove all media to be able to add USER PROVIDER MIX, it gives an error in Scrap and it closes!

[mYSt]

@luc1anocruz You should post this on Skraper thread, maybe @Bkg2k could help, but first make sure you're using last version of Skraper (i think it's beta 8). As a workaround if problem occured when you remove all medias, you may instead select first media and choose USER PROVIDED MIX, then select second media and choose VIDEO or click add if no second media is present.

[lhari84]

Hi @mYSt,
just wanted to report an issue I found when looking at ES logs.
Seems not to be a big thing, theme works fine so far.

[mYSt]

@lhari84 you can ignore it, gw system has no overlay image on top of scraps so this is just a warning cause the image path is empty.

Bonjour @mYSt merci pour ce superbe thème, franchement cela rend trop bien!
J'ai un souci avec le scrap sur le mix next pixel, je n'ai pas le mix comme dans tes screenshot et j'ai un petit cadre ou s'affiche la vidéo en plein milieu mais c'est moche. Cela est à cause des sous dossiers? Car sa me le fait sur tout les systèmes même ceux sans sous dossier. Merci pour ton aide.
