      A couple questions for anyone that's using the new video preview functionality in ES:

      1 - Which theme are you using?
      2 - Were you able to scrape the videos or did you manually download/associate them?
      3 - Have you noticed any adverse side effects?

      Thanks!

        before ES was able to video preview, i made the switch to Attract mode, but i still tried ES for couple of days and i can say its good

        1)standard
        2)manually download them, however, my trick was to download one of those 128GB game ready images and got my art work and videos from there
        3)no, i use blue motion as my startup image and its pretty great with video preview

            Please do not ask for the location of roms. This forum does not support 3rd party images.

                @feralphobia no it's not. It's a sad day when people taint this project with their blatant illegal activities.

                  1. I've used CRT theme and played around a little bit with Old Room theme.
                  2. I wasn't able to scrape videos, I grabbed them from a site online
                  3. Larger videos occasionally caused the pi to get hotter but this is being addressed with possible different video players.
