Static before video.... pulling my hair out!!

[spacemanrocks]

Hi folks,

Got a very annoying problem i'm trying to fix. All of my system and game wheels are working great. Videos play correctly whenever I go into any system. Except one.

I added an Atari ST wheel myself, wheel artwork, video snaps etc. Before each video plays when scrolling through the wheel, it plays about 2 seconds of static, then plays fine. The video files do not have this static at the beginning. At one time I did have a static video as my 'no video.mp4' file, but I have changed that to a rotating Hyperspin logo, which works correctly when there is no video found.

I REALLY want to get rid of the static that plays before each video, just can't seem to find the option to get rid of it!!!!

Thanks for any help!

The cause might be in the theme file in the default theme file....

That's more than likely the case. Lol. It's not an error, but an animation

in the the theme.xml file you will see this

look down and change the type ="tv" to

type = "none" or type="fade"

lodation: hyperspin > media >atari st > themes > default.zip > theme.xml
