      I think I already know the answer but I thought I’d ask anyway....

      Is there are way to direct the video screen saver to pull from a specific directory at random?

      I ask because I like the video screen saver but don’t have videos for every game so when it hits 3 not found in a row it just defaults to a blank screen.

      Thought maybe dropping a bunch of videos in a Dir and pulling only from there might solve it. If, of course, that’s possible

        No, at the moment this is not implemented in EmulationStation, the videos are always read from the gamelist.
