Unified & Ultrawide

[launchretrogirl2562]

and now that I think of it, unified already has a view that shows the video fullscreen.
So better scroll to those views in Bigbox and see if it doesn't already have what u want.

I think that is possible, but not without changing the corresponding xaml.
Cause that only looks for jpg files if i'm not mistaken.

I dont know which view u are using at that specific platform, but u have to go to following directory
[YOURDRIVE]:\Launchbox\Themes\Unified & Ultrawide\Views

Look for these files :
WheelGamesView.xaml
WheelGames2View.xaml
WheelGames3View.xaml
WheelGames4View.xaml

and look for this part in those files :
<controls:PrioritizedPathSelector x:Name="BackgroundFileName" FolderPath="Themes\Unified &amp; Ultrawide\Images\Theme\Background" FileExtension=".jpg"
                Priority1FileName="{Binding SelectedGame.ApplicationFileNameWithoutExtension}"
                Priority2FileName="{Binding FilterTitle}"                
                Priority3FileName="{Binding KnownPlatformOrPlaylistTitle}"
                Priority4FileName="{Binding Platform.NestedName}"
                Priority5FileName="_Default" />
u can change the .jpg to something else

Mind u, if u do it like this, u will change it for every other platform as well.

To make sure that doesn't happen, what u need to do is make a new folder in that directory called WheelGamesView (or whatever the view is that u are using)
and copy WheelGamesView.xaml over to that new directory.

If u are using WheelGames2View.xaml, and so on...

Then rename it to match the platform u want to change the artwork for.

So u will have this :

[YOURDRIVE]:\Launchbox\Themes\Unified & Ultrawide\Views\WheelGamesView
in this folder u then have a copy of the WheelGamesView.xaml renamed to for instance homebrew.xaml

And then it is safe to change that xml which I discussed above.
 

hmm i found  the directory, and changes .jpg to .mp4
it is named _Default.mp4

still just a blank black screen

An <Image /> (the line below your highlighted section that binds to the x:Name in your highlighted section) cannot display (have its Source be) an mp4 video file.  It doesn't know what to do with it.
