can I add videos that are NOT hosted by the in-app browser?

I want to add a video of our cats for my wife's bootup for Xmas.

See the README for instructions on manual animation configuration.

Copy, This is what I feared... Im struggling to understand it. :) Ill keep farting around. Thank you for taking the time.

Will it still add the video to the random shuffle rotation?

Did you ever solve this issue? I just downloaded the plugin last night. I have 80 vids already from a different program that I would like to import and I can't figure out how. I've added them to the /homebrew/animations directory but the plugin is not detecting them. I've also had Decky reload the plugin with no success.

There's no automatic way to import batches of videos at the moment. Currently, a subdirectory needs to be created for each "group" of animations, named as the animation should show up in the plugin, with the suspend, boot, and throbber animations named based on the default names, or remapped using a JSON config file per-directory, as detailed in the README.

Ok, so I've gone in and made a folder called vhs_startup. The whole path is ~/homebrew/animations/vhs_startup. Inside that folder I have placed vhs_startup.webm. Inside that folder I have also created config.json with the following information. { "boot": "vhs_startup.webm", "suspend": "", "throbber": "" } Then I've gone into game mode, into Decky, and told it to reload the plugin. It still does not show up. What am I doing wrong?

Hmm, that all sounds correct. When you say reloaded, do you mean from the main Decky menu with the list of plugins with options to uninstall them? I'm not sure if restarting plugins works for the backends yet, so restarting the system may be necessary to do that. There's an option to reload the config from the AnimationChanger plugin page, though, and that should work. Otherwise, it may be worth checking the plugin log at /tmp/animation_changer.log to see if there are any errors.

Ok so I was reloading the plugin through Decky. That doesn't work obviously. Neither does clicking "Return to Game Mode" on the desktop. I either have to restart the deck or click on "Reload Config" in the Animation Changer menu. After doing that it's detecting the custom vids.

Now I just have to go through and do 80 of them or go all the way back to when SteamDeckRepo went public and redownload them all.
