It looks like the issue is FM either cannot find the video ads or is unable to load them, however, they are installed in the correct location and you have tried playing about with graphic settings. Maybe it might be worth trying to reload the skin and turn off the cache under the skin menu in FM's preferences but in all honesty with that I am clutching at straws as I cannot understand why is it not working, as I cannot see any errors on your part

ok , it will play the default video add when you remove the add files , so annoying , FM getting worse every year TBH , guys like you that make the game better

This has me stumped as I can’t see any errors, I’m assuming that you are playing on a windows system through steam?

Yes , so i moved my cache and preferneces folders out and started a new save , so on a inter freindly the ad boards worked , however on the next game they stopped working! - i went back to look at the reserves/freindly highlights and yes stopped working - it doesnt make sense unless the graphics card is playing up?

The xml file works so that’s not the issue and I can’t see any issue with your folders, the video ads are in the correct location. Can you provide a screenshot of your graphic settings within the FM preferences?

Ensure the folder remains named ‘hd’ and modify the bottom part of your code to this


<record id="1575" led_force_flag="true" concatenate_next="false"/>

I still cant get the ads to work on the stadium , i have them working on the pitch and the fan banners are working on the stadium but no ads?

Hey AmDaddy -

Thanks for your messages and interest. Sorry for delay in responding to everyone; I've been off the board for quite some time, and am just logging on now. To tell you the truth I don't know how this got onto the FM2020 boards, I had made this years ago for FM14-15 and updated it again for FM18, but never bothered creating one for FM20. It does work with it, but I'm barely playing either FM20 or any FM anymore due to some life changes (kids, man). I didn't actually upload this here to FM2020, the mod was indeed 'created by strangerthankindness' but someone else must have placed it on this thread? I didn't even know that was possible.

Interestingly, the link it's sending people to, FM_18_2, isn't even the most updated version. I did create and share an update for FM19 on another site, which has even more teams and leagues....
http://www.mediafire.com/file/c0t4gg2ebwj7o6o/CLUB_BANNERS_ADBOARDS_FM19_01.zip/file

I don't know if it's allowed to mention other sites, but I've put this on both SI Forums and FMSCOUT, and it has more detailed instructions than what is here, which will hopefully address some of the issues people are having. (Especially that 'starting out' glitch, it does seem like you have to shut down and restart the program to get them to appear, I think because it's during start-up that the game reads and processes the ads xmf file, and knows where to find them). Just do a search under adboards and you should find the uploads with more detailed instructions. You can also find more detailed info on how to ad your own team if it's not in there, or even more teams in the division you're playing in. Also, this mod works under the same principle and rules of rabcp's great adboard pack that can be found here; if you follow those general directions, it should be the same. (This mod pretty much ignores realistic ads in favor of club-specific imagery drawn from scarves, supporters clubs, tifos, banners, etc).

To answer some of the questions:
FM08 adboards show up when there's a home game with a team that does not have graphics in the pack, ie. your Mineros de Zacatecas and many other of the Mexican 2nd division clubs. (I tried to get most of the LIGAMX teams in there, at least). It could also happen if you're using a separate adboard pack (like the great rabcp one) and the ID's are competing.

Regarding the iTunes stuff, StuartNG, I have no idea on that one, you're making me feel old, man; I had no idea you could do something with iTunes and FM. Also, I have no idea if this works with FM Touch or on iPad, as I don't know if the files are stored in different areas? Sorry I can't help with that.

Apologies again for anyone frustrated with it, but hope that everyone who's downloaded it has gotten it to work, and is enjoying it. (It just hit 25k downloads from the sites its been shared on, which is a good milestone). I wish I could help more, but I've not touched FM2020 in about four months and my son needs to be put to bed right now.

The simatchviewer_uncompressed folder should be located in the first folder you open from the download. The one in all upper case.

That folder should then be placed in Program Files > Steam > SteamApps> common > FM20 > data

Changing the skin could work. Personally I changed the graphics quality, reloaded the skin in the game preferences, quit the game, then changed the graphics quality back to normal and it suddenly started working. At first, the video ads worked for me but the banners didn't.
