* adds a new configuration option ("CollectionShowSystemInfo" = bool), in the 'Game Collections Settings' GUI. Defaults to previous behavior (true).
* reloads the Collection when the configuration is changed.
Adds the ability for users to change the following features in OMX Player's subtitles (game info for screen saver).
- font size
- font file path
- italic font file path
- subtitle position
These changes can be made in the GUI menus via the Video Screen Saver menu, or directly in the es_settings.cfg file.
Safe OMX Player defaults are hard-coded into the EmulationStation application.
Here's an example of the new keys loaded/saved into in the es_settings.cfg file:
- `<int name="SubtitleSize" value="38" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleFont" value="/usr/local/share/fonts/slkscr.ttf" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleItalicFont" value="/usr/local/share/fonts/slkscrb.ttf" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleAlignment" value="center" />`
On the first run it downloads a few resource files needed to intepret the otput of
game search api calls these resources go into ~/.emulatiostation/scrapers
The resource files include the list of developers and the list of publishers.
To update the lists simply delete the files and relaunch emulationstation.
Searching a game by id (GamesDB id) is done as before by manually edit the search
query and query for "id:<gameId>".
Starting up emulationstation takes me about 1 minute over the network
with a large collection of 27 systems with images.
This patch uses the loading screen to tell the user about the status
of the startup, with information how many systems are left for view
initialization.
The most beefy part of the startup process is initializing the views,
and preloading images.
This patch extends the `renderLoadingScreen` function to take a string
and uses it in `ViewController::preload`.
v2: Add SplashScreenProgress option enabled by default.
If the Scraper configured in the settings is no longer available, don't crash when running the scraper.
For single game scrapes, we show an error for the user to change the configuration.
For batch scraping, silently choose the 1st scraper available in the list
