Custom Video Folder for Big Box Screensaver

📋 Summary

Add an option in Big Box to use a custom folder of videos for the screensaver, allowing users to play personal content such as music videos or curated clips.

❗ Problem

The Big Box screensaver currently relies on game related media:

• Users cannot easily use their own video collections

• There is no way to point the screensaver to a custom directory

• This limits personalization for setups like arcade cabinets or living room displays

Users who want a more tailored experience must rely on external tools or workarounds.

💡 Proposal

Add a setting to define a custom video source folder for the screensaver:

• Allow users to select a folder containing video files

• Play videos from this folder during screensaver mode

• Support optional behaviors such as:

  • Shuffle playback

  • Looping

  • Mixing with game videos or using only custom videos

📦 Benefits

• Enables highly personalized screensaver experiences

• Supports use cases like music videos, attract mode clips, or themed collections

• Reduces reliance on external media players or hacks

• Enhances Big Box as a living room or arcade display

💡 Notes

• Should support common video formats already handled by LaunchBox

• Default behavior should remain unchanged unless a custom folder is set

• Could optionally support multiple folders or playlists in the future
