Hyperspin Movies

[fishman]

Ok i found old youtube videos from hyperspin 1.0 for movies but nothing current. Is there any current tutorials so i can set up my movie collection with hyperspin? And to create xml for movies and can it be in mp4 format?

[Spawk]

I wasn't even aware this was possible. Adding movies to an xml manually sounds incredibly tedious. I think most people just have HS load kodi... I am opposite, I have Kodi launch HS when I want to play a game, and return to kodi after I exit HS.

Tutorials are in the works....however, in the meantime, you could use Don's HyperSpin tools (the beta version) and use Create New Hyperlist.exe to to scan all your movie file names with extension mp4 within your designated folder.  It will the spit out a database containing you movie file names.  If you do not use RocketLauncher, you use HyperHQ to launch your video player.  With RocketLauncher, they might have a prebuilt module to launch movie players, however; someone with RL exp will have to chime in here.  Attached is Don's HyperSpin Beta tools (in which ill be uploading to the downloads section soon)

idk anything about rocket launch but I do have this set up with hyper launch. basically the same as setting up any other system I use a free program called vlc to play my movies so in hyper hq and hyperlaunch hq I have vlc set as my emulator and rom paths point to where all my movies are, rom extensions are mkv,mpg,m4v,mp4,avi,vob,flv, probably a few more I cant remember

 

Heres a vlc module that works in hyperlaunch. extract it in HyperSpin>HyperLaunch>Modules

 

big thanks to zerojay btw for making this module, I got it off some post on the old site a while back. no clue if it will work in rocket launch, or if rl even uses modules for that matter lol. I guess its to for me to upgrade my setup!

RocketLauncher has my VLC module included with it.

Thank you for the VLC module.  I've successfully setup my 'Movies' wheel and think that all of my settings are correct.  However, VLC launches in windowed mode (despite the WIN setting in HyperHQ) and I have to manually close it with my mouse once a video finishes playing.  I've attached screenshots of this happening, including HyperHQ and Rocketlauncher settings with the VLS module.  Can someone review and let me know if they see something wrong?  I'd expect my movie to fade in and play seamlessly with VLC and then fade back to HS when finished.  Thx.

You're awesome, that fixed it.  When I play a video it now shows the LOADING screen and plays the video, then fades back to HS.  I notice that the voice saying "Loading Complete" starts when my video starts, so there is overlap with the audio.  Is there a way to stall the video for a second or deactivate the "Loading Complete" sound for my movie wheel only?

I have the strangest thing whereas my video will load fine in VLC player if I have 1 extension listed in the settings:  rom extension = mp4.  But when I add more than one, say:  rom extension = mp4, avi, divx    then VLC will error out and not load the video stating 'file not found'.  Can anyone give me any ideas please.  This has me stumped for a week now. 

The only thing I haven't tried is modifying the Hyperlaunch.ahk file.

I'm old school and haven't kept up.  Rocket Launcher came along after my system was setup.  Is this my only option, or would modifying my ahk solve this?

[FANCY]

mp4, avi, divx  should be mp4,avi,divx  in hyper hq

no spaces

and in hyperlaunch should be

mp4|avi|divx  

also, i would recomend checking out kodi (formerly known as xbmc) u can have it automatically download all the boxart for you saves alot of effort

i wish i would have known about it along time ago

[ACE]

 I use Kodi on my TV.  This is for my arcade cabinet which I choose to have music videos on a hyperspin menu. This (mp4|avi|divx) may solve my problem, but can you please tell me where/what I would put that into Hyperlaunch.ahk?  I am using either VLC Player or Media Player Classic.  Thanks for the input!

Will Rocketlaunch work with version 1.2.0 (and will it mess with my other settings)?  .....it's just that, after much work, my machine is working perfectly (other than adding multiple file extension for video), so I prefer not to upgrade if possible.

It won't work with 1.2 unfortunately. You'll need HS 1.4.

I'd still suggest giving it a try. Just make sure to make a copy of your existing setup first.

I just set up the fades on my install as well.  Now I have the same "Loading complete" voice playing.  I'd like to disable that voice.  Anyone know how to do this?

 

Thanks!
