Help setting up Big Box start page

Recommended Posts

Hi guy I'm very new to this software so be gentle with me 

I'm building a quiz machine cabinet to add to many other cabinet iv built, i have manage to get big box  all up and running all games installed and working no problems there.

what I'm trying to work out is if i can have a video mp4 playing in a loop until a person  touches the screen and then all the games show like start up  and again if no one is playing for 2 mins the same video starts up again 

Maybe this is not possible but thought id ask 

Thank you for any help

Hi @Robbie v welcome to the community! A quiz machine cabinet sounds awesome, seems you have quite a few cool builds going on there 🚀

It sounds like you've come up with a pretty good solution there, but I wonder have you had a look at Big Box's attract mode? You can find it under `Options > Attract Mode`.  It's a feature designed to make your library more visually appealing and engaging when idle. It automatically cycles through your game library, displaying media associated with your games like videos and screenshots.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support adding a single custom video to loop continuously, but it will go into attract mode after a certain time frame, and then when the user touches the controls it will let them take over.

It definitely can look a lot better depending on how much media you have associated with your games and what theme you're using. So it may not be ideal for you, but definitely give it a whirl and see what you think.


Let me know how you get on
