Bigbox Marquee image priorities

Recommended Posts

I know this question has been asked before but I can not find any posts regarding it within the past few years so I'm hoping things have changed..

I want to have my 2nd screen marquee only show a platform image while playing any game in that platform. I dont want to go through every game and change the marquee images one by one. Is there any way I can change the big box theme marquee image priorities?

Pretty sure the marquee image being displayed does not distinguish between "perusing through your platforms/games" and "playing a game".

That is, when looking at a game vs playing the game is the same thing (marquee image-wise).

I assume you have game-specific marquee images because when you're scrolling through your games, that's what you'd like to see.  To have that image change when you go to play that game seems counter intuitive (to me).

 

You might try looking into using the ThridScreen plugin. I don't know if it will distinguish between the 2 scenarios you want, or not. But it's pretty feature-rich and if nothing else, it may have a feature for manipulating the image type used that'd work for you.

Hi

The reason I want one image for every game in a platform is because the image I'm using is the button layout for that platform. So I want a way for every game of the same platform to display the same image, which seems like a desirable feature that's hopefully been thought of before. I'm not sure if that 2nd screen plug in will do what I need but I'll have a look into it. Thanks

It can... Just add the image as one of the platform image types. Then in ThirdScreen settings, add that parent platform image type as the highest priority in gameview for that particular screen.
