Hi
I had my pixelcade working great and had it showing images or gif's when i scrolled through my playlists.
Here's an example below from the log.
INFO:arcade handler received: /arcade/stream/Playlists/Run_&_Gun_Games?l=0&event=FEScroll
INFO:STREAM MODE
INFO:Console Before Mapping: playlists
INFO:Console Mapped: playlists
INFO:Game Name Only: Run_&_Gun_Games
INFO:# of Times to Loop: null
INFO:Looking for PNG: C:\LaunchBox\Programs\Pixelcade\playlists\Run_&_Gun_Games.png
INFO:Looking for GIF: C:\LaunchBox\Programs\Pixelcade\playlists\Run_&_Gun_Games.gif
INFO:Found GIF: C:\LaunchBox\Programs\Pixelcade\playlists\Run_&_Gun_Games.gif
INFO:This GIF was already decoded
INFO:GIF Width: 128, GIF Height: 32
Now it doesn't show anything and heres an example from the log:
INFO:STREAM MODE
INFO:Console Before Mapping: rob's_favorites
INFO:Console Mapped: rob's_favorites
INFO:# of Times to Loop: 99999
INFO:Looking for: C:\LaunchBox\Programs\Pixelcade\console\rob's_favorites.png or .gif
INFO:GIF default console LED Marquee file not found, looking for default marquee: C:\LaunchBox\Programs\Pixelcade\console/default-rob's_favorites.gif
INFO:PNG image found: file:/C:/LaunchBox/Programs/Pixelcade/console/default-marquee.png
for some reason it isn't looking in the playlist folder I created with the playlist images ect?
I checked my LED blinky settings against a backed up version and they seem the same?
Kinda stumped on this... Any help would be appreciated.
You've created a custom playlist (rob's_favorites) that Pixelcade doesn't know what to do with. So two options:
1. map rob's_favorites to an existing console like mame
or
2. create a new folder rob's_favorites under the Pixelcade folder and copy artwork in there per the log / what games you have.
more info here https://pixelcade.org/customizing/
note on #1, this file console.csv which contains the mappings will be over-written upon artwork updates so if you go that way, you'll want to back it up before an update and then add it back
Ok that makes sense. Thanks for your help.
