Configuring Hyperspin/Hyperlaunch for Videolan

[Aabra]

I've been having a little fun as you can see here:

The idea of course being that the movie trailer is used for the video file. Anyways, I've managed to configure Hyperspin so that it launches Videolan and the movie perfectly. (Ironically it needs to be set as an emulator!) Anyways, it launches perfectly but when I exit VLC (configured VLC to quit when the ESC key is hit) Hyperspin is just black.

I assume that Hyperlaunch has to be used in this type of situation and I'm wondering how I should go about setting it up and configuring it for VLC.

haha - nevermind I figured it out.

I downloaded autohotkey and edited the Hyperlaunch.ahk file to include this:

;**********************************Videolan******* *************************

else if (systemName = "Movies" && executable = "vlc.exe")
{
hideDesktop()
Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess
RunWait, "%EmuPath%%Executable%" "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%"



I then compiled it.... and it worked like a charm! :)

Thats great, and thats some serious aspect ratio you got goin on that vid. What is that 25 x 9?

Also I'll be adding your entry to the official script as an addition, thanks.

Cool. It really is pretty damn neat using my ps2 controller to scroll through the movies, complete with trailers - plus after a little bit of configuring VLC I can use the controller to fast forward, pause, rewind, volume up/down, and even add or remove subtitles. (I try to make/keep Spanish subtitles for my movies for my gf.)


All that being said.... Hypertheme doesn't seem to like videos with weird aspect ratios. It tends to freak out when you add a video overlay etc. (Video overlay is shown as *way* bigger than the actual video file) If this bug could be fixed eventually that'd be great.
