      Hi,
      I have a Retropie 4.4 build set up with a small library. I scraped videos, and currently my theme (Ruckage's SNES Mini theme) is set up to show box art for the game, then show the video preview after a few seconds. With my small library, I don't need this preview and I just want to look at the box art. However, I -do- like the video screensaver, so I'd rather not just delete my video files.

      So my question is whether there's an option or config file I can edit somewhere to just disable playing the videos. I've searched and found a bunch of information on getting videos to play correctly, but I can't see to find a topic on just turning them off. Is that possible?

      Thank you!

        In the EmulationStation menu (press Start), go into the UI options and set the Gamelist View Style to Detailed instead of Automatic.

          Thank you @mitu. I would never have guessed that setting controlled it. Works like a charm.
