Movies in mamewah not working
<< < (3/6) > >>
Marky_1979:
Iv managed to download some of these files but most wnt play due to windows not playing them only a select few work? why is this
jcrouse:
All you should need is Windows Media Player and the DivX codec. They all work perfectly. Are you saying some play and some don't?

NightGod:
Sooooooooooooooo.


How about that problem with them not playing inside mamewah? *cough* ;)
cdbrown:
Have you had a look through

It may be that you are pointing mamewah at the snaps folder for artwork #1 and then telling it to use the movie path for that the same number. Are you using all those artwork paths in your layout?  If you want the movies to play in artwork 1 on your layout then put the movie path against #1 as well.

And also the mame intro vids are encoded using xvid not divx like all the other emu movies
NightGod:
So you're saying that instead of:

artwork_1_image_path                      F:\MAME\snap
artwork_2_image_path                      F:\MAME\marquees
artwork_3_image_path                      F:\MAME\cabinets
artwork_4_image_path                      F:\MAME\titles
artwork_5_image_path                      F:\MAME\cpanel
artwork_6_image_path                      F:\MAME\flyers
artwork_7_image_path                      F:\MAME
artwork_8_image_path                      F:\MAME
artwork_9_image_path                      F:\MAME
artwork_10_image_path                    F:\MAME
movie_preview_path                          F:\MAME\movies
movie_artwork_no                             1

It should be:

artwork_1_image_path                      F:\MAME\snap
artwork_2_image_path                      F:\MAME\marquees
artwork_3_image_path                      F:\MAME\cabinets
artwork_4_image_path                      F:\MAME\titles
artwork_5_image_path                      F:\MAME\cpanel
artwork_6_image_path                      F:\MAME\flyers
artwork_7_image_path                      F:\MAME\movies
artwork_8_image_path                      F:\MAME
artwork_9_image_path                      F:\MAME
artwork_10_image_path                    F:\MAME
movie_preview_path                          F:\MAME\movies
movie_artwork_no                             1

Wow...I feel like a dumbass LOL-I guess I figured with it listed in the movie_preview_path, I didn't need it in an artwork path.
