      I don't know if it's possible during the game, but it's such a great idea when the screensaver is displaying videos. I tried to set up once but failed, I only have now some blank images...

      @cyperghost Actually I only ask for a video once for every game, since there was already a condition that's checking if the video path exists. And it does right after it downloads the video for the first rom / version of the game. Then for the others versions, it just add a line with the path to the xml instead of downloading and converting the video again. So I guess it's speeding up the process and limits bandwidth usage too, right?
      I didn't have to change anything there as it was in favour of my changes.

      I tried to make as little changes as possible, since there are things I still don't get in the script.

      But also doing it your way, I would have had to use regex and I didn't want to (I forgot how to write regex).

      @detron @cyperghost I was just trying to be funny, it's ok if it doesn't get any attention. I know there are very few people who want full sets AND video previews too, if it helps those people, that's good enough. But I still think this is an improvement from the original script, it shouldn't be downloading a video that already exists but with a different name.

      @mitu You really need to edit the list and add video tag for every game? You can't just say "all my videos are in /roms/snes/snaps/$name.mp4 ?

      @arcade123 Please try this method in fact it also uses the gamelist.xml but it's independent from any game.

      Sorry for necromancing this post. But I just noticed the "-convert_videos" flag when scraping from the command line. Is this enough to fix the YUV 4:4:4 issue? It invokes the handbrake CLI.

      That's been a problem with a lot of people with that type of controller. Although I can't seem to think there are any ways to fix it, but if someone can, that'd be great.

      @Kalime correct, though it only really only matters if you find it heating while in EmulationStation.

      Enjoy your holidays.

      @Zigurana Thanks for your answer.
      I already think to this with a friend and the best solution is the second.
      Like it is used in Kodi.
      Every one can add and use the media he want like he want without any new coding.
      And it use less memory for guys who don't use many media.

      But like you write it is harder to code :(
      If i found some one who can code the second solution it will be the best.
      If not i think i will try to code myself the 1rst easy solution for the moment.
      Maybe you have the skill to do it, but for myself i haven't :(

      @TMNTturtlguy So I ended up writing a small patch for the sselph scraper after all, I'll just have to run the scraper from my desktop machine instead of the raspi. (And if I do that, I can also write all the files locally first so that I don't have to keep emulationstation shut down during scraping, which will be a nice side benefit). I also submitted a pull request to add this feature to the mainline scraper which people can see here.

      Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is? I'd really like to not have to rebuild again.

      @meleu yes, I added a new branch to my fork... I'm not an github expert and I wanted to keep the original master branch for some reason (now I think it was kindof nonsense)

      and yes, I already submitted a PR :-)

      Basicly you have to edit the gamelist.xml for each rom
      Here is a example for a game entry in a gamelist.xml (using a video preview):

      <game> <path>./1944.zip</path> <name>1944 - the loop master (000620 USA)</name> <desc>1944 - the loop master (000620 USA)</desc> <video>/home/pi/Games/config/videos/1944.xmv</video> <marquee>/home/pi/Games/config/marquees/1944.png</marquee> <rating>0.5</rating> <releasedate>20000101T000000</releasedate> <developer>Capcom / 8ing / Raizing</developer> <publisher>2000 Capcom / 8ing / Raizing</publisher> <genre>Shooter / Flying Vertical</genre> <players></players> </game>

      Basicly you have to edit/add the video tag! Insert the path to your video file into

      <video>path/here</video>

      For more information, here are some usefull links:
