      Skyscraper -p psx --flags videos -s screenscraper

      This worked! Also for dreamcast.
      Of course needed to setup the gameslist update properly afterwards in retropie_setup.sh directly via terminal.

      @sleve_mcdichael said in Video slideshow has blank screen between some videos:

      They're read from the gamelist, right? Or no?

      Yes.

      After this PR will be merged, it will be possible to use a separate folder for videos, just like for images, in the screensaver.

      @SamuraiX51 Glad you got it sorted out and good luck with your artwork project - I'm sure it will be appreciated.

      @sunwind I don't think there is such option currently.

      @Clyde But a simple scrape from an alternate source wouldn't take more than a hour or so of my time.

      Then it remains an option for those games which aren't included in any of the online databases. Glad that you like it. :)

      Hi Mitu.

      Sorry for the double post. Thought this would be a more appropriate place as this topic, because more than likely this isn't something that is already built-in. Thanks for the feedback.

      @sunwind said in Press select button to launch current game playing on the screensaver?:

      favourites is bound to Y, I'm hitting Y and it goes to a random game - it's definitely bound correctly, I just did it again - this explains why favourites aren't working for me as they apparently should.

      Since that's actually the function bound to X, what happens when you press X in the gamelist?

      Video screensaver displays "Mega Drive" as system on MD/Genesis titles even when platforms.cfg has been created to display elsewhere as Genesis. Is there a solution to this?

      Hey, i wanted to ask a somewhat related question: what could be the reason that my screensaver never plays genesis snaps when the screensaver is running? Every system i have on my retropie 4.4 makes an appearance as a random video screensaver and it doesnt matter if the snaps are located within the emulationstation folder or in the rom folder for the system itself. I'm just puzzled as to why my genesis games don't show it. Would it have anything to do with having changed all mentions of megadrive to genesis within emulationstation and this having borked whatever emulationstation looks to when seeking random videos?

      Well I managed to do it - bit of a heath robinson solution...

      From this thread (similar question)
      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9078/omxplayer-default-settings-change-system-wide

      I grabbed the Thin Pixel 7 font from here: https://onextrapixel.com/25-free-pixel-perfect-fonts-for-8-bit-designs/

      Renamed the font file as FreeSans.ttf and FreeSansOblique.ttf (these are the two fonts that are used for the video subtitles on the screensaver), and then dropped them into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont, overwriting the existing font files.
