Hello.
I am newbie in make themes. I try to "port" am abandoned theme (DarkRoom) make for Bigbox to Retrobat.

In this theme, on the System Menu all plataforms run a video + name + rating in sincronization. When a video run, the name and rating show up (8s from video below).

Its easy to put a video in System Menu:
<video name="md_video" extra="true">
<path>{random}</path>
       </video>


but NAME and RATING i can't.

Any solution?

Hi there,

very nice theme, unfortunately I cannot help you with themes, I only wanted to give you my opinion.

I would just show the name and not the rating, as ratings tend to be non existing for most games, thus showing 0/5 stars, completely wrong or just based on other people's votes. And rating yourself like 50.000 games seems to be a tedious job Wink

Dont know i have to put every rating. The Scrapper do the job.

The tag/command <rating name="md_rating"> show rating for every game and the tag for show name is <text name="md_name">

The problem is: This tags don't work in System Menu only in Gamelist.
And i have no clue hall to work in System.
Aparently no theme made for EmulationStation use this to have ideas to work.
