Unable to have one global screensaver that appears on every system.

Hello. Is it too much to ask to have the ability to have one video as the screensaver for the entire frontend without making duplicates of the video file for every single ROM? I kinda want to use that as an attract mode.

Hello. It's certainly not too much to ask, no, but it does takes time and effort. I don't have a lot of time in the foreseeable future, so I'm not going to create any expectations here, but if you'd want to take a stab at it yourself, I'd be happy to point you in the right direction.

Alternatively, the best place to post suggestions is really the forums over at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/ - I'd start there, and maybe someone will want to pick it up or have a different way to go about it. To the best of my understanding, the "issues" tracker here is usually mostly used for, well, "issues" really (in the sense of "bugs").

Have a great day, and thanks.

Why can't you use a symbolic link?
