Any luck with background music?

[LKrebs]

Hi everyone.

As far as I can tell, the HS-frontend is supposed to have a built in background music function. I've been trying to set it up by putting mp3-files into the background music folders (of the main menu and of the specific systems). No luck getting it to play.

I've searched the forums and found a few somewhat buggy and very complicated solutions.

Have anyone gotten the built-in background music function to work properly? The changelog of v1.4 states that the function is fixed.

I have it working for a few themes, You need to make sure the naming convention is the same for each item like any other and the files are in the correct location.

The PS2 Menu sounds is the MP3. 

I have used the same method for only a few others as most have pretty fitting audio in the video previews.

What are you trying to add music to maybe I can help.

A simple bip bip bip mp3 effect to to a super silent MAIN MENU.

Electronic Games who i made theme today.

I can hide a video (direct into the theme) but is not a clean idea!

Works fine for me with your files...

Theme is in the folder - Media/Main Menu/Themes/

Background Audio is in the folder - Media/Main Menu/Sound/Background Music/

 

Both have the same name.. works fine.

Don't mind the special Art, my testing setup is a mess at the moment.

Also not sure why the wheel fades in the theme.. might be my end or a transition effect perhaps in the theme? Seems to happen when the overlay comes in with the strobe effect?

Omg thank i need to create a folder named BACKGROUND MUSIC in the MAIN MENU....sorry was th e first time i wanted install a background music!

Yes the theme runs perfect...if you pay attention, close to the beginning of the theme you see a quick "strobe effect" of all the sprite (ok not all but this is the more close "all sprite" image can i found).

Thank you!

Guys, sorry to revive this thread, just wanted to check if there is a way to have a Main Menu Background Music running nonstop until the user enters a specific wheel (without stopping/changing when cycling through the main menu wheels).
