Random Game Selection - needs current docs

[SpocksEars]

I'm attempting to implement the BigBoxRGS plugin here - https://github.com/G-rila/BigBoxRGS

The instructions on GitHub - as well as example view files - seem very out of date. There is no XML structure in the *current* implementation that matches anything in the instructions ("put after closing grid tag, but before closing canvas tag.")

Plus - some of these Themes have dozens of views that bear no relation to the View name inside BigBox, so I have no idea which one to edit anyway.

What am I missing?

Cause it is It's also not a official plugin.

Unfortunately that is the way plugins go, they are made, and abandoned.

You're right of course. That's the problem with the "Google is your friend" mantra. There's so much out of date info and dead years-old links out there it's almost worse than useless.

Disappointing. A random game selector would be the icing on the cake for any arcade cabinet!

What problem are you having with the plugin documentation?  You edit any view that you want to use the plugin on. Add the xmlns line toward the top and add the other chunk at the end just inside the canvas on any view. 
 

which theme are you trying to add the plugin to?  I can try it and show you the specifics of the theme code change.
