Dynamic snapshots in a frontend, possible?
« on: April 04, 2009, 10:56:48 am »
Recently I've found out about this website (http://www.progettoemma.net/snaps/) where you can get , not only the traditional in-game snapshots, but also title snapshots, how-to, select, scores, etc. Now, I wonder what the point of this is. Do you have to choose whether to have in-game snapshots or title snapshots in your frontend, or can you have both? How? I'd thought it could be fantastic if you could store in-game snapshots in one folder, and title snapshots, for instance, in another folder and then configure your frontend so that the snapshot shown for the selected game is dynamic, like in a slideshow, changing the pictures, for instance, every one or two seconds. Please, don't suggest using videos.

With Atomic , you can do that easily with a plugin.  (i could do it for you)

But i think you are using mala. I don't know if it is possible with its plug'ins system.
