@leew said in [SOFT] dynquee: dynamic marquee for Recalbox:
*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)
