I was think more along the lines to embed into a theme a video player entry that can play a youtube video (or random selection of videos). Then be able to contribute that entry to online databases or start an simple XML file that could have extended metadata for youtube videos that are relevant to the title.

How can we handle in the collection additional media links. For example in the NES data for a game, what about linking to things like an Angry Video Game Nerd episode that is linked to that game title, or an archive of the commercial for a game? Perhaps a scraping option for specific whitelisted channels\personalities? I am much more interested in the archival aspect of the emu-scene and building out the historical archive is big on my list. Any thoughts on how to handle that expanded data via Launchbox\BigBox?

I would be nice to have a progression mode for attract mode that say starts displays X random videos of each year in order.
e.g.
For Each Year
select max 5 random videos (perhaps 1 per platform)
for each video
play
next video
next year
So in attract mode is kind of does a historical timeline of each.
