Very Nice.
Can you make a little "How To"? With more Infos.
I have Problems to bring it to work.
The Flyers not showing up. Are they .png or .jpg?  (I have copy it to Roms\N64\flyer)
The snaps not showing up, too.
The Information .txt files goes into the same Roms\N64 folder?  I named it like the Roms but still nothing shows up.

Greedings PittStone.

@Mark Norville "I can imagine that would be fantastic for movies as well and TV shows."

The Biggest Problem is, that Attract Mode cant play normal .mkv or .mp4 without desynchronizing Audio from Video. I have converted many Video formats and framerates and audio formats.  The Only best working solution is, to convert all MusicVideos to .avi container but with .h264 (thats normal for .mkv) and .ac3 audio (something other will work to). Copy existent video and audio streams (.mp4)  to .avi container alone, will desynchronizing Audio, too. It must be Complete new Converted to .avi container in .h264 video.

Is it possible to show a Bezel for every preview video (snap) in the Fullscreen Menu?

or you can use the sequencer plugin, 

Sequencer plugin is for the AttractMode front end. It selects a random game after a period of inactivity

Its nice, but it must play snaps in variable Playtime and after finish the full snap it should go to the next. Not after a periode of the same time again and again.

Is there a option that after finish playing a videosnap, the next videosnap in the list is played? And not always repeat one? The next game should be selected automatically from the list.

@scooby52
Its working fine by me. All Resolutions, 1080p, 720p,...
The Only thing i chanced is: If i downloaded a musicvideo from youtube, i have the .mp4 than i copy it with Xmedia Recode (Video and Audio) to a .mkv without reencoding.
Mkv container works fine. I tested some .vob from dvd and thats works fine, too. Avi under 720p works fine, too.
If you reencode all files to .mkv it should work on any resolutions.
Sadly the Videosnap doesnt skip to the next, after video ending. Nobody will help since four Years.

You need to learn to program, and be more clear with what you want.

I have never learnt to Program.
I have the layout.nut from the "HP2-Systems-Menu" folder and i will change this to if i select a game its playing the Videosnap. This is Fine. But after End of this Video it should go to the Next Game, so it can play the next Videosnap.

Someone says to me i can check in tick() if yourimage.video_time >= yourimage.video_duration and then trigger next_game signal.

I Dont know how i do this.

Why is this a Hard Thing? Its a Simple Mode, after a End of a Video it goes to the Next. 

It’s really not. Ive already created everything you would need to do it. Looking at my intro layout making use of rand function, you should be able to do it.

I need Help.
I copy "helpers" to "modules" folder.
I copy "shuffle" to "modules" folder.
I copy "mvscomplete" to "layouts" folder.
I changed attract.cfg to "layout  mvscomplete".
If i start attract.exe and go to the playlist with "mvscomplete" the Snap is playing, but its in loop. Its not going to the next Snap.

You have randtro-intro with random video of folder, but how can i use it not only for Intro Video?

just wanted to men-chin that you could use your sequencer plugin,  to switch to random game,  with your one set time...
this works good for me....

say average snap is 20 sec just set for say 15 sec...   

Thanks for Answere, but you dont know what im using it for.
My Snaps are different duration times and only use one timer for the snaps isnt usefull for me. It must be go to the next snap in the list after video duration finished.

You can use the random function in common module within my attract fork. Squirrel doesn’t implement it well. math.rand() isnt really random.

Thanks for Answere. I searched in "     attract\config\modules\common
for your random function.
I dont know how i do that.

Programming attract mode for Playback Videosnaps as Playlist!

Is there a programmer who can insert an option that after a videosnap, the next videosnap in the list is played? And not always the same thing? The next game should be selected automatically from the list.

I would like to pay the programmer who can insert this option.
