Creating Cinema Slides

The Cinema slide editor can be found in the MarvelClient Configuration database, under MarvelClient Upgrade\Configuration(s)\Cinema Slides:

When creating or editing a slide, the following fields are available:

1. Enter a descriptive title for the slide - all slides within the same Category and with the same language (see below) form a slide deck, in which all slides are played/sorted by title alphabetically.
2. Enter a slide duration - the minimum slide duration is 1 second. The default slide duration is 15 seconds.
   Slides with embedded videos will play as long as the embedded video.
3. Select or enter a category name - all slides within the same Category and with the same language (see below) form a slide deck, in which all slides are played/sorted by title alphabetically.
4. Select or enter a language identifier (e.g. en, de, sv, it, or similar). During an upgrade, the slidedeck matching MCUpgrade.ini:UpgradeLanguage (or OS autodetect) will be used. if there is no dedicated deck for the language, the default deck will be displayed.
5. Select a background color for the slide.
6. When the progress bar slides from one slide to the next, it can blend/fade the background color when switching between two slides (e.g. fading from black to white whilst sliding).
   If you do not wish for the background color to fade, simply deselect this option.
7. If you are familiar with HTML and need to add to the head section of a slide show, then simply check this option and enter your head content in the then shown Head Section field.
   The following head content is always set:
   <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16" /><meta charset="UTF-16"/>
   <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>
   NOTE: Only the Head Section of the FIRST slide will be pubished into a slide deck!

8.  if you are familiar with HTML and need to add to the style section of a slide show, then simply check this option and enter your style content in the then shown Style Section field.
   The following style is always set:

   body {background-color:#slidecolor}

   If "Edit Style Section" is unchecked, the following style will be set:

   body {background-color:#slidecolor; font-family:Arial; margin:0px; padding:0px; border:none;}
   p {font-family:Arial; line-height:20px; margin-left:7px; margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:0px; border:none;}

   NOTE: Only the Style Section of the FIRST slide will be pubished into a slide deck!

9. When checking the "Repeat from here" option, a slide deck with multiple slides will repeat from this slide, instead of the first slide.
   This is useful to e.g. show slides 1–2–3–4 and then continue with 3–4 for the remainder of the upgrade. 
   NOTE: If multiple slides within one deck have "repeat from here" selected, the LAST slide by alphabet will be used as "repeat from here" slide.
