Retrotastic- Display Poster/Screenshot/etc when missing video

[WeldXMachina]

Finally setting up BigBox and absolutely loving the Retrotastic theme. Am I not seeing the option to load images in the background "screen" of the game select wheel (when there is no video in the appropriate folder) or is that something that will require some custom tinkering?

Essentially what I *want* is to have video snaps for arcade and modern consoles but my retro console platforms I just want the music and some art to be displayed on the "TV screen" behind the wheel.

Nice. Glad you are liking the RetroTastic theme. I made it such a long time ago, I forget how I did it.

Your assumption is right that it would probably require some theme tinkering.

Here's a slightly altered Vertical Wheel 1 view you can try out. It should basically fall back to a screenshot image if a video doesn't exist.

WheelGamesView.xaml

Replace the one in the following folder:

\\LaunchBox\Themes\Retrotastic\Views\
