      @quackwalks It seems alright to me, that's weird, sorry I don't have the answer to your problem, yeah try to download them at 1080p but I don't think it's because of that, hope someone will help you out

            @malixx Oh man that's awesome! You rock. Thanks so much. Where are you getting these assets, Google?

              @malixx I am having the same issue as @Quackwalks

              EDIT: Problem solved. What I did to fix it was I placed the mp4s in the downloaded images folder, changed the paths to downloaded images folder from each game's metadata, and is now working perfectly. For whatever reason, it didn't like the mp4s in the rom folders for me, just gave me a black screen. Hopefully this will help others out too! :)

                @afiction Thanks man! If by assets you mean the artworks yeah it's out there on Google, I try to find them at least at 1080p (with the options) my key words are "artwork", "cover art", "official art" or "original art" etc. sometimes I use the word "wallpaper" if there is nothing in HD.

                  So after a long time with the suggestions here, I have now as @Malixx made. Have set at Swap Video after 30 seconds and now it runs perfectly.

                    I have to say thank you for these nice collections of screensavers...
                    My first game I really adored in PC was the XCOM: Enemy Unknown (XCOM: UFO Defense in America) game in 1994.

                    If you really have spare time - may you create this screensaver for me?
                    I would really appreciate this even if this is not a classic "RetroPie" emulator ;)

                        @cyperghost Yeah of course, I will try to work on a XCOM Screensaver, I didn't even know that the XCOM series was that old, I thought it was a recent one!

                        @afiction Here's the Chrono Trigger Screensaver

                            Is it possible to have it only play one specific video instead of it always picking random video from the scrapper videos. I would like to have it simply play the nes classic screensaver that I captured instead of the game video scrapes.

                            thanks

                              @mashinboo I've yet to find a way to do this, apart from simply not having any video snaps in your ES setup altogether.

                              AFAIK it's unimplemented.

                                yea that is a shame I guess i'll save it for whenever it gets implemented. thanks :O)

                                  @malixx That would be really nice ;)
                                  X-COM got the best out of the strategie, action and ressource managment style.

                                    Yes it's very possible!! I have it setup that way on my Pi.

                                    I'll post a link in a min. when I find the discussion..

                                      I see you are taking requests. I'd love to see one from one of the first four Breath of Fire games.

                                        @Malixx Updated list with Chronotrigger and introduced your naming convention ;)

                                        Keep attention! ... there is also the TETRIS v2 version in this list. Do you want to keeps this official? All the names of video file were build through youtube rip page.

                                          @cyperghost Oh yeah, sorry! The Tetris v2 isn't official though, but I will keep the naming like "RetroPie Screensaver #14 - Chrono Trigger (SNES).mp4" it's more simple that way imo.
