Gorgeous, set a lot of these random on boot splashscreen, i would like 1080p versions, any plan to sharing?

@malixx Oh, nice! Can't wait to see it when it's finished! I am sure it will look awesome like all the rest of the screensavers!

@lilbud Actually the main problem was that I didn't have the licences 😅

@darishzone Maybe I will upload the videos on Mega, it should be easier that way!

Awesome work man :)

Hopefully in a future release of emulationstation, you can specify a video screensaver directory. Instead of it having to use game videos. I have too many to remove them all and just get your awesome videos playing.

@malixx OMG, yes!! This is freaking awesome! What a great way to start my day! FF4 is my favorite game of alltime. Thanks so much for making this one! :D

@darishzone You can now download everything here on MEGA : https://bit.ly/2y4Iy81

It should be easier for everyone instead of downloading them from YouTube!

I just wanna try a request, i'm obsessed with this TR Classic artwork, would be great an animated screensaver!

[Malixx]

@darishzone Maybe I will do it, it might be better than the "original artwork" with the old CGI... ;) in the meantime:

@malixx Nice. I was never a big fan of the gameplay on the SNES Mario Kart, but I always loved the classic Mario artwork for it. Now that I think about it... this may be the last game that used the classic Mario artwork. Nice job and choice of art on this screensaver!

UPDATE (03/07/2018):
I have made some changes to the original post to simplify everything, also there won't necessarily have a YouTube video for every screensaver in the future. I changed the global layout of the screensavers to be smoother, so be sure to check out the download link to not miss anything:

• Added Bomberman screensaver.
• Added Donkey Kong screensaver.
• Added a logo animation on every screensavers.
• Added an individual download link for every screensavers.
• Added more detailed informations about the configurations.
• Optimized every screensavers to be .mp4 format.
• Many more to come!

@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

@malixx Thanks for making a small tutorial. The way I descriped worked till ES 2.6.2
I hope ES will got it's own ScreenSaver Slideshow like the picture screensaver.

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