Attract mode from Discovery Center?

[stigzler]

Hi all. I like my cab's home page to be the discovery center, but attract mode doesn't launch from there? Is there any setting to make sure it does?

Hi there,

Thanks for the great question! Unfortunately, attract mode isn’t currently supported in the Game Discovery Center section. It’s a feature we’ve heard requested by a few folks, but due to the way this section handles games—compared to a static list like in other views—it would require a more extensive implementation.

Apologies that we don’t have a better solution at the moment, but I hope this helps clarify the situation.

Cheers,

Hi. Thanks for the response. Interesting. I note you can set a hokey to launch attract mode, so wouldn't this just be a simple method call? I.e. if you can launch it via a hotkey then you could certainly launch it programmatically. I know the Devs have a lot to implement, but do you not have a feature requests system? I couldn't see this as being a huge task to code but understand you need to prioritise issues. 

Best wishes.

Thanks. Will put there. Have thought of a workaround that will do in the meantime time. I see IBigBoxMainViewModel has methods to change the page type, so could monitor BB for inactivity and if inactive in Discovery, will change the page type to one that supports Attract mode.
