Crazymonkey5150 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Hi all I am wondering if it is possible to have themed videos instead of images for platforms... like Atari advert video for Atari 2600 rather than image?? is there a tutorial on this... Quote
neil9000 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Hi and welcome to the comunity. In your launchbox folder should be a video folder and inside that a Platform folder. Name the video the same as the platform and drop it in there. 1 Quote
Retro808 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) You can add videos you want in the \Videos\Platform folder, however the theme and view you use will somewhat dictate if a video can be shown. edit: Forever ninja'd by @neil9000 He is like a stealthy panther in a ninja suit.

neil9000 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 That depends on the theme, some themes will show a image and a video on the same screen, others will only show the video as a background which would fill the whole screen, some will show a video if its available, but default to a image if a video doesn't exist.

Keep in mind there are some views I believe in each theme that do not use background videos. So you would need the right view in a theme. Each theme usually has a few view style to choose from. Also there is a setting in BigBox in the videos settings to "Use background videos for games" as well as "use background videos for platforms". Checking or unchecking those can make a view different as well. edit: really @neil9000 Edited January 9, 2018 by Retro808 1 Quote
