      @Malixx I got the screensavers to play but they often stop in the middle of the video and it returns to the emulationstation screen. some are able to play all the way through but most of them randomly stop.
      also if the screensaver is played as a video preview for a game the screen goes black for a second and comes back. this keeps repeating as long as the video is being played as the preview. Its as if the pi cannot handle the resolution of the videos.

      I have a raspberry pi 3 model B

          @saucerpan odd. I haven't had that problem. Perhaps your power source is too weak?

            @saucerpan Yeah I agree with @Hyruleslink, or maybe you need a fan. Maybe I should change the format to a lighter one, but I'm afraid it will look ugly!

              @cyperghost I just find an easier way to add the videos I think, I updated the post!

                @malixx The DK link isn't working. It's asking for a decryption key. Any reason why you no longer will upload to YouTube?

                  @Malixx Am interested in the DK one as well, and as @Hyruleslink mentioned, I get the same error.

                    @hyruleslink @ByteThis The DK link should be working now! I will upload to YouTube sometimes but it's very time consuming and I can't reupload everytime I make little changes, because I will remake some of the old ones to fit the new layout.

                                      Advance Wars. Dope. More advance wars please. Particularly of the title screen for the first Advance Wars on Gameboy Advance. I think that would work well.

                                        @mrjordaaany Yeah I cheated, in reality it's a screensaver for the second Advance Wars, sadly I can't find any artwork of the first Advance Wars in good quality!

                                            Noticed that the file sizes are a bit on the large side. Have you tried out Handbrake, by chance? Really helps with compressing video without losing much quality.
