andy_d Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'd like to restrict the video shown while selecting a platform to gameplay videos of roms I actually have instead of a platform theme video. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yep, there is a setting in Big Box that will allow gameplay clips from games in that platform category to be shown in the Platform view. It's how mine is setup for the platforms I don't have theme videos for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Not at home at the moment, so I'll have to check later this afternoon for the specific video settings I use. I'll chime back in later today if someone else hasn't already or if you don't figure it out before then. Pretty sure you need to keep the setting you disabled, on though.

My settings are attached (video player doesn't matter; you can use VLC if you prefer). If you don't want the Platform videos to play, then just untick the second option (or delete the videos).

andy_d Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Yep, I unchecked the second option and only images then are show. Guessing it's a bug Edited January 16, 2017 by andy_d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Probably the particular view you are using in the theme. Every theme supports multiple view options for Platforms and Games. You can set a keyboard key or controller button to being able to switch the current viewing mode. Go into Options -> Controller Buttons and then map a button on your controller to "Switch View". If you prefer using a keyboard, just do the same thing under "Keyboard Mappings". I use the Options button on my PS4 controller for this. After that, go back to your Platform list and cycle through the options by pressing that button until you see one playing a background video.

andy_d Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 I ended up moving the videos out of the folder as I wasn't able to figure it out. Thanks though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
