  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Frontend for videos
« on: March 23, 2013, 07:57:01 pm »
Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask.  I am looking for a front end that would be similar to that of one for playing audio however I would like it strictly for videos (movies and TV shows)..

My plan is to build a sort of mini jukebox style cabinet and have it graphically display selections for hundreds of kids movies and shows for my son. That way he can go up to it and tap on whatever he wants to watch and it will output to the TV it will be connected to

Been searching but haven't really found anything. Thanks

I'm using Jukebox Arcade for music and music videos and I'm really happy with it.  It's skinnable and I created my own skin which removes some of the features that I don't want to see on my cabinet.  Key mappings are easily configured in the settings.

Same here. I want to build a jukebox for just music videos, but I haven't found anything I like yet.

Somewhat me as well.  I want a juke interface that has a section for music, video, or internet radio.  I think etouch juke does something like that.  It is the only juke software that I have tested.  I have yet to try touchjams and now this jukebox arcade.

I wish there was someone out there that has tried the majority of them that could tell pros and cons of each.  I guess it is hard to write a comprehensive post when new programs come out all the time and others leave the scene.

I really like the looks of the interfaces you see at bars/restaurants.  Since I haven't tried many, I'm not sure which programs compare in terms of looks.
