Turn off Platform/Playlist Theme Videos

Recommended Posts

I have just downloaded and started using the Platform/Playlist Theme Videos for BigBox (I know after all this time lol), but as much as they look great there are a lot of themes that look better with just the random game videos playing instead. So the trouble I'm having is turning them off as opposed to just deleting them. here's where I thought it would be...

At this time there is not a way to turn off the platform/playlist videos. If they are videos in your videos/platforms folder they will play in BigBox. One workaround I have done in the past is just make another platform videos folder and keep it in the videos folder and name it something like videos/platforms alternate. So since the folder is named different the videos stored in that folder will not appear in BigBox. So in a way its better than deleting the videos but you will have to manually move those videos back in the videos/platform folder if you decide to use them.

Alternatively you can also put specific videos in any theme videos/platform folder as well if you like  specific videos per theme.

Thanks @kmoney for the reply, I thought I was missing some setting somewhere.

@Jason Carr Would it be possible to add a checkbox to the above settings page for Platform Theme videos to be used or not used?

That would be a good idea @Rincewind. I'll add that to my list. Might be a good idea to add it to BitBucket. :)
