DJQuad Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hey all, does anyone know I can get the videos I have to randomly play as a screensaver? Randomly choosing a file under my Media folder (including subdirectories) would be really cool for my cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallex Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 That's a great idea, Ill see if i can make that happen for myself and provide a solution for you aswell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJQuad Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks Mallex. There are plenty of open-source screensaver apps, even a lot of "build-your-own" ones, but they mainly focus on pictures. One that focuses on EmuMovies mp4s would be pretty cool. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePagel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I know you could do this in Windows Vista without any tweaking (just select photos then the album which is your video folder) but windows 7 and up dumbed down the Screensaver. You may still be able to do this if you have windows essentials photo gallery installed. I'll try it on windows 10 when I get home. I already have it installed so I can have a decent photo screensaver because the one that is default in 7 and 10 sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJQuad Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 That's for photos though, I was asking about videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJQuad Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Ah it doesn't work with Windows 10 - I selected a Video folder (G:\HyperSpin\Media\Nintendo Entertainment System\Video) and it said no pictures found. I'm wondering if there's an easier way to do this with AutoHotkey. I'm not a scripter but using A_TimeIdle might be a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you have windows essentials photo gallery installed. This is windows 10 but should also work for windows 7 and 8.1. If you cant figure it out give me a shout. Bummer... must be .wmv I bet there is a easy work around to that problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
