        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.

              @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..

                Update:

                Here's how to do it!

                  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.

                          I can imagine these screensavers take quite a long time to put together. Can't wait to see what comes next :)

                            So you can´t use these if you have videos (Stephens scraper)?

                            I tried putting the vids in a screensavers folder and added the paths to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml but it still plays random game videos. Not the screensavers.

                              Sorry guys, I don't forget all your feedbacks, I just don't have time to work on this right now :(
                              Here is the Breath of Fire 3 in the meantime:

                                        @malixx Added #17 Breath of fire to collection list here but I missed 15 and 16 as they are not fitting in this collection. Maybe I add them later

                                        merci beacoup pour le series de animation

                                          @malixx I imagine it had something to do with the title of the video or some wording in the description that auto-triggered the take down. Especially so quickly. I hope you are able to re-upload it.
