      Hi,

      I'm updating my theme and wonder if there's a screenshot tag, like the <image name="md_marquee"> or similar.

      Is it possible to show 2 images in ES for each game? My goal is to show boxart and screenshot as separate images.

          @virginsteele I think the best way to achieve that at the moment would be to just use the marquee to display screenshots instead of marquees. I would actually like that instead of marquees tbh.

            @hyruleslink Oh why have I never thought of that!? Probably because I always thought that I must use videos (which I don't like) to have marquees to show up. But I totally forgot that we can force videoview now. I need to test that tomorrow.

                @hyruleslink Ok thanks! I figured the marquee could be used, but wanted to be sure if there was a proper way for screenshots.

                  Speaking as a Pi newbie, how exactly does this solution work? I'd like to have a screenshot or vid displayed as well. Found this thread because I was searching on if taking screenshots was even possible, so my level of knowledge on this seems obvious.
