Using Batocera for a Visual Pinball Cabinet

Disclaimer

The multi-monitor support information below is based on personal experimentation and is not supported by the Batocera team. Please do not contact them for assistance with this setup.

Initial Setup

Download the latest Batocera beta at: https://mirrors.o2switch.fr/batocera/x86_64/beta/last/

Download

Go to https://store.rg-adguard.net.
Search for the HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer (Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension) app by entering the following store URL.
```
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq
```
- Do not use the normal HEVC Video Extensions app URL, because that can't play HEVC videos in Windows Media Player for some inscrutable reason.
Download the x64 appx file, or whatever your Windows architecture is.
- You may have to right click › Save Link As because the URL scheme is http, not https, if your browser is set to enforce HTTPS-only mode.

If it tries to save as a filename that's just a GUID, you may copy the correct .appx filename and save it as that instead.

ffmpeg -i input.webm -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4

This ffmpeg command converts a .webm video file to a standard .mp4 file using the libx264 codec for video, aac codec for audio, and a CRF value of 22. The preset is set to 'slow' for higher quality encoding, and the audio bitrate is set to 128 kbps.

Instructions taken from https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lxc-usb-passthrough-zwave-stick.30058/ and addtional information added for clarity.

Plug in you USB ZWave stick and find the Major:Minor Numbers:

root@proxmox01:~# lsusb
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0658:0200 Sigma Designs, Inc.

Major Number is 4, Minor is 5 for me (Bus and Device). Yours will vary.

Add the virtualenv plugin in the ~/.zshrc file. This is done by modifying the plugins line to include the virtualenv plugin
Make sure the following lines are in the file ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/virtualenv/virtualenv.plugin.zsh

# disables prompt mangling in virtual_env/bin/activate
export VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1

#Disable conda prompt changes

#changeps1: False
`conda config --set changeps1 false`
