Yo!!

I will try to use some portable player to run the videos ... I think in VLC or KMPlayer.
Let's see ...

I post if progress or not.

I used smplayer PORTABLE and could run the videos.
It was not 100%, but it is working!

Using mGalaxy (and VLC) to play video files:

Create a new system in systems.xml file:

Code: Select all

<System Type="Computer">
	<Name>Video Player</Name>
	<AppPath/>
	<RomPath/>
	<SnapPath/>
	<VidPath/>
	<Emu selected="0">
		<Cmd id="0" hidden="false" name="VLC" value="--fullscreen --global-key-quit="Esc" "%path\%file%ext""/>
	</Emu>
	<Extensions>.avi,.mp4,.mpg,.mpeg,.mkv</Extensions>
	<Active>False</Active>
	<Script>True</Script>
	<Database>False</Database>
</System>

I've set some extensions inside the <Extensions> tags, you can of course add as many a you want.

Create a new folder inside the "mGalaxy 'Data' folder. Name it 'Video Player' and place the icon I've attached to this post inside.

Hey, this was sort of what I was looking for when I mentioned a Mame Screen saver. Now are there lines we can add into this script so that once we select a video from the mGalaxy screen and it plays to the end then it will just randomly select another video in that folder and keep playing random vieos until we want to go back to the main menu??

P.S - Sorry Marcelo if it seems I hijacked your thread, but this is also something in the lines of what I was aking for almost, not quite but good enough

A script that random play video. To put in vlc folder.

You NEED to add the option ----one-instance in the command line or you will have a new window for next video

This script work for all file, so avoid to have a *.txt in the folder

You need to change the sleep values according to your temporisation.

Code: Select all

#include <Array.au3> 
#include<file.au3>

;Parsing
Local $count = StringInStr($CmdLineRaw, ".exe", 0 , 1, 1)
local $app = StringLeft ( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
local $command = StringTrimLeft( $CmdLineRaw, $count + 4 )
if not $command then exit 0

;Special parsing
$count = StringInStr($command, '"', 0 , -2)
local $folder = StringTrimLeft( $command, $count )
$command = StringLeft( $command, $count - 2)
$count = StringInStr($folder, '\', 0 , -1)
$folder = StringTrimright( $folder, $count )


HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

Local $avi_folder = _FileListToArray($folder, "*.*", 1)

If IsArray($avi_folder) Then
    ;_ArrayDisplay($avi_folder) ; View contents of $avi_folder
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Files not found in directory")
EndIf
   
local $avinumber = UBound($avi_folder) - 1
local $Randomfile =''
local $PID

   $Randomfile = $avi_folder[Random(1, $avinumber )]
   $PID = Run ('"' & $app & '" ' & $command & ' "' & $folder & $Randomfile & '"')

While 1
   sleep(10000)
   
   $Randomfile = $avi_folder[Random(1, $avinumber )]
   Run ('"' & $app & '" ' & $command & ' "' & $folder & $Randomfile & '"')
WEnd



exit 0

;****************************************************

;Functions
Func Terminate()
    While ProcessExists ( $PID )
          ProcessClose ( $PID )
    WEnd
    Exit 0
EndFunc

This script isn't finished and I will don't finish it, but it's a good base to start your own script.
