Title: Random Pictures are bypass in the Attract Loop
Post by: reno on January 11, 2016, 06:32:22 AM

Good Day forum
                      I placed three jpeg images in my random picture folder for advertisement. But it seems that videobox is ignoring them in the attract loop.
I have selected, "Popular Albums" and "Random Pictures" but it does not move from Popular Albums to display my pictures
  I have attached the pics.

ok Guys,
           I tried to help myself but still having the problem.
1)  I try converting the pictures to different formats (Didnt Work)
2) Look for hidden files. None were there. But Still Deleted the folder and created Another "Advertising Image Folder" (Didnt Work)
3) Added only one Photo at a time. To see if anyone was causing the problem ( Didnt Work)
4) Run the photo thru error checker and resize photos still (Didnt Work)
  Anything else i missed?

Hi reno, I will try to help  :D

What is your 'attract start delay' set to ?
Did you set your 'advertising images' folder ?
Is 'show advertising images' selected?, and what is the interval ?
What is your advertising images path ?

Hey
1)Attract Start Delay =1 minutes

2) Yes my Advertising is set. Which i places the three Jpeg images that i have attached
3) Yes Show advertising images is selected and is set to 40 Seconds. (Note the advertise images will show on the first loop but will stop working. )

4) I drop it in the folders provided. There are 3 folders "Advertising Images"  , "Skins" and "User Attract file"
In C/programs/vidowbox/advertising images

Ok reno, I set my Videobox attract to the same settings that you have and I had the same problem, after a little investigation I found the problem...

Click on the 'Show advertising images' button and a dialog box will open, you have to then manually select your 'Advertising Images' folder and click ok, this 'sets' the folder Videobox should look in for images.

Give that a try and let me know if it works for you.

Ok, its fixed  ;D

It was a bit of branching code that would only evaluate 1st time around and then lead to a dead-end on the second pass.
