[Bug Report] Attract movies continue playing sound until HS resets

[kagaden]

I can reproduce this 4/5 on my setup with the latest official Hyperspin 1.4

Summary: There is a race condition where if you select a system/game before it loads a full screen theme movie, the sound will continue to play for the movie until Hyperspin is reset

1. Launch Hyperspin

2. View a system or game theme that uses a full screen theme movie

3. Very quickly (before it loads) either press Start (4/5 repro) or move to another game/system theme (1/5 repro)

4. --> The sound for the movie will play continuously until you reset Hyperspin. It will play over emulators, other themes, etc.

 

Edit: I should note that this report is not for windowed gameplay movies. It is for full screen theme movies.

 

Thanks for the awesome development and support.

Bump  

When I overhaul I'm going to stay away from full screen theme movies to work around this.

Unfortunately this is a known issue, but there's a solution that helps to reduce the likelihood of this happening. It's to add a delay within the theme zip which loads the full movie. 

I'll post a theme zip tonight if I have time.

Hey guys... completely forgot about this. My bad. Rename this theme zip to match your ROM name and put it in your theme folder.

This only works for the use case where you have a full screen "cinematic" style video as your theme. The video must be split from the theme.
