How do you create a background moving divx file. I tried almost everything. 1280*720 xvid video codec 24fps.

These are the specifics. I suggest using Staxrip to encode with. Seems it has a sound track in there too.

[hcode123]

This is the greatest backup manager of all time. Thanks Dean.Btw, are we able to use condorstrike's solar screensaver with multiman

[Platty]

Wow, Great work Deank, thanks!

[bearmon2010]

Congratulations... I have a question... save it as /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/wave.divx I did that and I dont see wave on my screen.. Do I need to enable it somewhere ?

[phillipssat]

How to rotate Photos ?? I only can zoom but not rotate...

[Sinbad]

Thanks for posting this story..the screen caps are nice too..

[bearmon2010]

Hello ? Can you answer my question ?

[kgb]

To start the wave.divx do the following: in XMMB press SELECT+TRIANGLE

Regards

[bearmon2010]

I did that and it show up just fine with SELECT plus TRIANGLE but it didnt do anything just like PS3's xmb.. Is there?

[kgb]

I dont understand what you mean. You say you got it to work on multiMANs XMMB, right? After that i dont understand what you are trying to ask. Its just a video file of a moving wave of smoke - or whatever you want to call it - its just that, a video file playing in the background, instead of having a static image as wallpaper you can have a dynamic background; you can change it to any personalized video you want, all you have to do is convert a video file/ segment to divx and rename it wave.divx and replace it for the one you've got in /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/, to quote Deank:

For best results use AVI container for Divx/XviD video (any resolution) @ 23.976fps with MP3 audio. If there is no audio track - it won't work. Also it requires a lot of memory (~40MB of free RAM) so check system settings if you have at least 80MB free before proceeding.

[bearmon2010]

Sorry about that. I already put wave.divx like this: /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/ and I go to multiMAN XMMB and all I got it SPACE with stars fall down or whatever you call it and not a video file of a moving move of smoke playing in the background at all.

Thanks DeanK for all your work on MM! This is GREAT! You do a great job! I have one problem though, on this version when I go to select a game to play it, it goes to the a new screen and does some copying then it gives me an error "Unhanded Error" or something like that. The game shows up in Sony XMB but I did not know if it's a problem or if it will be ok. Just wanted you to know. Thanks man, keep up the great work! Anyone know how to get FBAN to load roms from multiple Folders? I have mine like this - ROMS-FBA-CPS2 and then CPS2 roms. I also did a folder for CPS3 games but FBA did not like that. How can we keep our ROMS separate in the ROMS folder? It's a mess with all of them in the ROMS folder... I like organization..

@ bearmon2010

Well it works, make sure you have enough RAM available, don´t forget you have to have multiMAN updated, make sure you have v02.05.00 base or full installed and then update to 02.05.05 and then go to XMMb and press SELECT + TRIANGLE. See if you have the Screensaver option enabled and disable or extend its inactivity time it and see if that helps

@ RSX

dont know if this will help you but check multiMANs ini file:
