April 22, 2023April 25, 2023RG35XX_Admin3 Comments

Finally we can change the theme from the console itself without having to remove the card and insert it into the computer, overwrite the theme we had and put the new one.
Reddit User Standard-Pepper-6510 surprised us today with the long-awaited news of the release of this GarlicOs mod.
Here we leave you the video that he has published where we can see the mod in operation with themes downloaded from our page, RG35XX.COM and also the system icon packs!

~~Soon we will have a~~ new section of Mods for GarlicOs, where we will include this and other modifications, as well as instructions on how to use them.

Video Player

As we already advanced yesterday, Black Seraph added Play Videos functionality from GarlicOs Custom Firmware. This has been achieved thanks to Retroarch’s Core ffmpeg, which we already tried to make work without success, logically we are not as expert as him…

Since version 1.0.6 of GarlicOs, this function is already available, and the way to use it is through a new folder in the ROMS directory, called VIDEOS, and where we will have to put our .mkv files, (since Black Seraph comments which in .mp4 has some kind of conflict). It also indicates some instructions to correctly encode the file, which we understand is through the command line using the ffmpeg app from your computer, which we leave below:
“ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vf scale=640×480 -vcodec libx264 -profile:v main -level 3.1 -preset medium -crf 23 -x264-params ref=4 -acodec libvorbis -movflags +faststart output.mkv”

We have used the Handbrake application for many years to convert our videos, so we decided to give it a try, thanks to the information provided by the Reddit user raymodromero, and we have created a Preset to be able to use it when we need it. Here we leave the preset for you to import into Handbrake.
