For work I am mostly developing apps with Ionic having Express and Angular portals/management systems behind them.

Edit GameUserSettings.ini for the user

When Extra Cabinet Support is enabled make the appropriate edits to GameUserSettings.ini to enable support.

Save Attract Screen Audio to Roms

Attract Screen patch expects audio to be in New Retro Arcade Neon\NewRetroArcade\Content\Roms

Log errors

Create an error log within notifications

Major refactor

This code base is rather outdated now, going to keep a list of changes I'd like to make here.

• Remove as much synchronous code as possible and use async/await
• Remove jQuery (😷 🤢)
• Switch to electron-builder (auto updates! 🎉)
• Implement electron-unhandled
• Tests with avaron (?)
• Upgrade to electron 1.8.6 (perhaps 2.x by the time I get around to this! ☺️)
• Stop render in progress (#21)

Default video not updated on reorder

So for now just go set default in the usual way for the new grid position

Support new configuration files

We need to support the new configuration tool. As of now the app generates the deprecated ArcadeMachines.xml which then needs to be imported by the user - better to create .arcade and possibly .layout files ourselves. Horray for the JSON though!

Ability to reorder videos

Allow user to set GameMusicVolume

As requested here

Rename extracted audio file to be more human friendly

As requested here

AttractScreen# means little to humans and makes config a pain. Lets change to video filename.

Extract audio from videos

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -q:a 0 -map a output.mp3

Using the above command extract the audio from each video ready for

Cannot set default or delete grid after Unknown update response

Log files no longer display errors

Only [Object object] is displayed for example. The fix is

writer.write(data.log);
writer.write('\n');

Stop render in progress

Add ability to stop render once it begins, currently you have to right click and close window from taskbar.

Will also need to delete the partially created file

Update check

Should check for updates on start and alert user

Menu not visable

i'm using windows 7 64 bit and the menu doesn't show

Notification messages with URLs to open do not loose click event

Extract audio does not pay attention to Generate Report config

Render errors are not logged

Render fails when videos contain special characters

ffmpeg-20161008-230526.txt

videoFiles.txt

Set ArcadeMachines GridFrame#

As requested here

Scan ArcadeMachines.xml for ROM corresponding to video (same file names) and update with its GridFrame# on Render.

Automatic setup of config.

cur_dts is invalid.

ok So I got this error when I just started the conversion and it said cur_dts is invalid but I was told not to worry about it. But every time I boot it up. I cant seem to come over and run the conversion. I named the file "Underpants" because I was bored. Heres the log:
ffmpeg-20180316-201025.log

QuickSync encoding does not work despite ffmpeg reporting it

Another user can't use QuickSync.
