Internet Radio on Attract Mode?

[pipesfranco]

Hi all,

Loving Launch / Bigbox...I have a question

Could anyone advise if it would be possible to have an internet radio station playing when in Attract mode in Bigbox?

This is my dream feature so my cab can also be an internet radio without having to leave Bigbox?

Thank you in advance

Possible ? Sure it would be but how likely is another question. I can't imagine it being a very requested item.

Could a talented community member maybe attempt to make a plugin?

You could just add a app as a program in Launchbox, it's not games only it will launch any file.

Sure, anyone can make a plugin if they so desired, this is the reason plugin support was added.

Add it the same way you would a Windows game, maybe make a platform called Programs for example and add any program you want from you PC to it. You may run into interface issues if the program is mouse only and you have a cab, but there are tools out there to map a mouse to controllers and such.
