GreenGriffon Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Hi, I like Attract Mode very much, but I think a terrific enhancement would be to allow the user to select a different type of mode if desired. This "alternate" mode would be to allow the user to simply point to a folder where they could store any videos they like, and Attract Mode would choose a video at random to play fullscreen. It would continue to play one video after another, and keep looping until the user takes control. The user might want to fill this folder with their favorite gameplay videos, or maybe some really interesting game intros that they've collected over the years (which is why I'm asking for this feature!). The user has total control over displaying what they feel is the best media to show off their arcade system. What do you guys think? I hope you'll consider adding this feature! Thanks, GG Edit: Here's the link to the ticket for voting https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/1632/attract-mode-enhancement-play-full-screen Edited September 15, 2016 by GreenGriffon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Thank you GG; that is a good idea. Can you add a ticket for it using Issues/Requests in the header? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurel Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The video folder is a great idea! Stocking the name of the current game and restart the random selection if the same game is picked again would be nice as well : ) Sometimes you're out of luck, and the same game is selected again and again in systems featuring only a few games (like 15 - 20 games). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGriffon Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Thanks Aurel. It wouldn't necessarily be a game video that is played however (although of course you could if that's what you prefer). Some people like myself might want to play cinematic videogame intros, movie snippets, vintage TV commercials for home console systems, etc. Whatever files you put into this folder are simply played in random order. Other than not repeating the last video played, there really doesn't need to be any intelligence behind it.

NeoXBOMB Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 This is something I'm very interested in also. Had it been implemented since this being posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to see it happen, go to the link for the ticket, vote up this feature, and spread the word for others to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
