hawkeye06 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hi I have video snaps from emumovies in my video folder. When I am browsing through the games in the Hyperspin FE, there seems to be a good 3-4 second delay before the video snap starts to play. Is there a setting for the delay somewhere?

DamnedRegistrations Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 That's quite a long delay but it may be from the themes you're using. Go into "...Hyperspin\Media\Main Menu\Themes" and open one of the problematic system zip files. Unzip to a folder with a matching name. Open the "theme.xml" file and under the Video section, lower the time and delay settings. i.e. Time = 1 Delay = 0.5. When you're done, save the xml and exit. Then zip all files up with the matching system name and make sure you have your zip settings on "Store" or else HS won't load the theme. Then overwrite the old system zip theme in themes folder and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye06 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 So I looked into this more and the video delay is sufficient as the video actually starts playing immediately as I can hear the audio for the video. However, the video is black for 3-4 seconds and then the picture comes in. Does hyperspin use windows media player? I tried opening the video in windows media player and see a similar affect. However I installed media player classic and the video works as expected. Has anyone run into this issue? Maybe I should post this issue on emumovies? Please let me know. Thank you.

drewjbx1 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Are all videos doing this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye06 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Actually most of them definitely appear to be doing this. However, I just noticed that Jurassic Park works great when I scroll to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewjbx1 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Was gonna say try a different video but if it's system wide then that isn't the problem. As far as I know there isn't delay adjustment in HyperspinHQ for videos. Performance has a lot to do with CPU, ram, graphics card, hdd speed, and lots more .. Might be a factor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye06 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Just another note, my old computer mobo just crashed so I built an entire new computer, even have a ssd hdd in this thing, I remember the videos worked fine before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fresko Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I had the exact same issue where I would hear the audio play first and 4-5 seconds later the video would finally appear. It was happening to MP4s and all of my FLVs for N64 roms. I noticed that the videos played instantly in the other wheels. I resolved my issue by using EmuMovies Video Converter for the MP4s and encoding them to FLVs. As for the FLVs that were also having the issue I had to re-encode to MP4 via Handbrake and then re-encoding them back to FLV by using the EmuMovies Video Converter.

dropper Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I know this may be old, and may have already been fixed, but in case it hasn't, or someone else finds this, it seems to be an issue with HyperSpin 1.4.Beta 015. Put the 1.3 exe and the 1.4 in the same folder and I see the lag with 1.4 but it is normal on 1.3, with no other changes. At this time, there doesn't appear to be a newer beta.

Metalzoic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm running 1.4 015 with the latest updated RocketLauncher and videos all work fine as normal. Have you guys checked your anti-virus to make sure all your Hyperspin/RocketLauncher files are exempted? If not it might be running a virus check everytime a new vi tries to run.

alantoid Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Im having this issue now too. 2 new changes to my system that are probably related are upgrading to an ArcadeVGA card and also I cloned my drive onto a new SSD. I went back and tried my old spinning drive and it has the delay as well, so i dont think it's the ssd for me. I notice that if i watch a video outside of HS, via WM player it has compression issues for the first 3 or 4 seconds, the same amount of time its blacked out in HS. (but the videos play fine in vlc) This leads me to believe its a driver issue with the arcadeVGA (ati 5450) Other things I have tried are disabling virus scan, disabling hardware acceleration in flash, updating flash version.

alantoid Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Converting the mp4s to flv's fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Converting the mp4s to flv's fixed it. Bummer if you have to step back to FLV's to fix it. Is the ArcadeVGA just not compatible with MP4's or something? Maybe you'd be better off using a different GPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulbousbeard Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 There seem to be a lot of problems with MP4 videos and shitty video cards/older setups. If the videos were H264, it's possible that the lack of acceleration on them with older shitty hardware is causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropper Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It is the driver for the ArcadeVGA 5000. If you run it with the standard Windows drivers, the videos play fine. I had fried my AVGA and while I was waiting on the replacement, I grabbed one of those GBS-8100 VGA-CGA converters and hooked it up to an old NVIDIA card I had lying around. Two things happened. First, the videos played fine. Second, I get a normal Windows boot screen. With the AVGA drivers, I get the old "Cylon" back and forth animation instead. One more thing, if you run the AVGA drivers with HS 1.33, the videos play fine, so whatever changed in the video handling for 1.4 doesn't play well.

Valiant Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Switching to FLV worked for me - I have the ArcadeVGA card. Interestingly, it didn't affect 1.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
