      @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

      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

                  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}

                        ont a essayer par le .ini, ont a bien l'image du startup sur l'écran lcd mais plus d'image sur le CRT et aucun mouvement d'image n'apparait quand ont va de droite a gauche, l'image startup reste fixe.

                          🤦 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

                                Hmm 🤔

                                Et aussi rien sur l'écran lcd avec

                                ?

                                  Where did you buy your LCD marquee? What dimensions?

                                    @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.

                                      Can anyone help? I have installed via the easy option above and it seems everything is there however I am using a Pi4 with RBGpi on one setup and a Pi5 with RGBDual both running on Scart CRT TVs perfectly.
                                      However no matter what I try I can not get any of my 3 marquee displays working.
                                      The marquee picture does quickly flash up on the CRT then goes off as any game loads.
                                      The 2nd display just reports no signal as does any display regardless if its a letterbox widescreen or full size 1080p one
                                      It would make my year if this could be solved.
                                      Thanks in advance Coly

                                        Hi @Colywobbles
                                        I don't have either an RBGpi or RGBDual to test with but it's likely those are the reason it's not working as intended.

                                        On a Pi 4/5 with 2 displays connected to the HDMI ports, both screens share a single framebuffer device. dynquee uses the fbv2 command to display an image on the framebuffer. This means marquee images are shown on both screens briefly when an emulator launches or exits. While a game emulator is running it writes directly to the first display so you see the game running on display 1 and the marquee image on display 2.

                                        My guess is that the RGB devices are interfering somehow. To debug you could connect to your Recalbox via ssh and stop EmulationStation and dynquee by pasting in these commands:

                                        es stop
                                        /etc/init.d/S32dynquee stop
                                        

                                        then test if you can get an image to display with
                                        fbv2 /recalbox/share/dynquee/media/startup/startup.01.png

                                        It could also be useful to run
                                        ls -l /dev/fb*
                                        and let me know what the result is.

                                          @poppadum Does it posible to show an image/video in the marquee while Recalbox is showing the intro video on first screen?

                                            @toniosj On Raspberry Pi, no because the splash video is using the same framebuffer as the marquee.

                                            On PC dynquee is started from the xinitrc when X (the graphical user interface) starts and I can't think of any way that it could start earlier.

                                            The one way it could work is if you run dynquee on a different device to recalbox (e.g. a Pi Zero 2W), but even then you couldn't be certain that dynquee would start up faster than recalbox.
