      So recently, video support was added to EmulationStation in the forms of random screensavers and the ability to show video previews for games. However, I feel like there should be one more animatable part of ES: the background.

      Now, it would be pretty cool to just have an MP4 where a PNG would be and have it slide like a normal image, but what I'd like to see is a constant, seamlessly looping background video that's always in one place (similar to the "curvy lines" background that modern PlayStation interfaces have.)

      Here's a mockup I made in Sony Vegas of what I'm talking about.
