Thanks for the prompt reply, I'll wait for the full deal once its out..

My collection is a right mess, something even remotely organised would be very welcome

And again, thank you...

Paul..

Ok, I'll put you on the list of people to mess / play about with and give feedback before I make it fully public

Mclane · 16 January 2018, 16:06

Thank you...

Decided to have another quick scan through all my title / screenshots today one last time

Found one screenshot that needed changing; Simon the Sorcerer II - The Lion, the Wizard and the Wardrobe AmigaCD

When scrolling through via WinUAE, the screenshot was *slightly* out vertically when compared to "Simon the Sorcerer" & "Simon the Sorcerer [AGA]".

Attached to this post

The "full pack" uploading to the EAB File Server under "/~Uploads/DamienD" ATM.

...probably worth grabbing this again as since completing this title / sshot pack back in mid December I've added another 10 - 15 games so it's now been updated to reflect my current 2300 configurations / games.

@Toni

In one of the winuae GUI Screenshot windows would it at all be possible to attach/play mp4 files from your HDD?

Emumovies have 1000's of Amiga video Snaps in mp4 format, Just thinking out load, it would be cool if a video preview of each game can be shown inside the winuae GUI?

Toni Wilen · 10 November 2019, 10:14

Technically it is relatively simple to implement because video player that uses windows codecs already exists (genlock video).

ransom1122 · 11 November 2019, 07:29

I take it the video filenames would have to match the game filename?

DamienD · 11 November 2019, 11:48

Toni could just implement the same structure as Title & Screenshots i.e. the file be named "___Video.mp4" or whatever.

ransom1122 · 11 November 2019, 13:06

Sounds promising.

Toni Wilen · 11 November 2019, 17:31

And how about GUI layout? I want exact specs

EDIT: and obviously I need few example files.

ransom1122 · 11 November 2019, 19:36

Re GUI layout... I guess one of the screenshot windows would do. Making an extra area on top of the current screenshot gui areas would be overkill I think. The only issue with that is the videos would.possibly me too small, defeating the purpose.

As for example files I'll send you a pre made emumovies file and one I've recorded myself using the built in recorder with techsmith codec later today

Toni Wilen · 11 November 2019, 20:12

I am not sure if splitting screenshot space vertically is good idea (both screenshot and video becomes small) and there must be some way to disable videos because I expect not everyone wants to seem them.

malko · 11 November 2019, 22:22

Toni,

What about the possibility to use animated gif ?
(actually gif cannot be used as Boxart, Title or SShot)

Here is a quick example as well as in attachment the animated gif

ransom1122 · 11 November 2019, 22:59

GIFs look to static. Full mp4 videos would look better.

Hopefully clicking on the video gui box would change it from screenshot 2 to video 1 and vice versa

Also, I guess some option to disable videos would be viable by an option in miscellaneous tab...

malko · 11 November 2019, 23:16

It depends on the gif file of course. And it was only a rough example.
Here are more polished/smooth one :

ransom1122 · 11 November 2019, 23:27

Yeah I get it, but why when 1000s of Video Snaps already exist.

malko · 12 November 2019, 00:07

I didn't propose the animated gif instead of the video

Personally, I like the portable mode of WinUAE and in general an animated gif is lighter than a video, thus it fits better in an USB stick.

ransom1122 · 12 November 2019, 00:09

I guess that's another option

malko · 12 November 2019, 00:11

Exactly.
Of course, if Toni agrees.

ransom1122 · 12 November 2019, 08:35
