Attract mode option to play/loop video(s)

[Steve McGarry]

I’d like to request the ability to optionally change the default attract mode of random game select/viewing to loop selected video(s). I would envision this as a checkbox to use video rather than default attract mode that would utilize the video “attractmode” in LaunchBox\Videos…similar to the “startup” video.

I don’t think it’s necessary, but as an example I am using Mr. RetroLust’s Neon Arcade Deluxe theme’s for BigBox/Launchbox and PaDeMoNiuM's Arcade Neon Deluxe startup video (which can be found at the same link) would be perfect as an attract mode.

Here is the link to the initial thread in LaunchBox forum https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/61627-change-attract-mode-to-loop-video/.

Set priority as minor, but honestly this would be a cool enhancement and I bet highly utilized.

I would really love this feature too. I really like some of the attract modes of specific games, and it would be cool to group together a few attract mode videos and have those loop through. Funnily enough I went to create this ticket just now and saw it’d been done only days ago!

To add to this, could we please have an option to use either a looping video or a WPF animation as a title screen on bootup as a seperate option as well, this would make BigBox feel a lot more personal, being able to reflect the design of the arcade cabinet/PC it's inside.
