Screensaver software that plays videos (Windows)
« on: July 24, 2016, 12:15:44 pm »
Hi,

I'm putting back together a MAME PC cabinet that has not been functional in some time (computer bombed and I lost everything but what I had backed up on DVD).

I'm looking for a screensaver that will play videos stored in a designated directory.   I had found something before but can't seem to locate anything now that does not seem to have some sort of "extras", and I don't want to end up with malware on the machine.

Any suggestions?  I have a bunch of game videos that I'd like to play at random when the screensaver comes on, kinda like an "attract mode."

Thanks,

Joe

The Attractmode frontend has a screen saver built in that rotates through videos of the current list. It's pretty cool.
