is it possible to add a video background? like this theme https://playnite.link/forum/thread-534.html
it would be really cool to have the PS5 menu/bios looping animation as the background instead of game wallpapers!
EDIT: I managed to do it, through some trial & error of code copied from the theme i linked above. Can't find a looping official PS5 menu animation (without the flashing controller prompt)...so just using a generic dark polygon animation found on youtube for now.
Save Main.xaml, then restart Playnite
its kinda hacky way to do it, but as far as i can tell...it works. At least until official background video support is implemented.
thanks to Codiox, Crow and Joyrider3774 for the code. and of cos davidkgriggs for this theme!

- Create a folder named "Videos" in %appdata%\Roaming\Playnite\Themes\Fullscreen\"PS5ishFolder"
- Put the video file in the above "Videos" folder
- Open/Edit Main.xaml in %AppData%\Roaming\Playnite\Themes\Fullscreen\"PS5ishFolder"\Views
- Between line 15 and line 28 , insert the following
<MediaElement MediaElementBehaviors.Repeat="True" Stretch="UniformToFill">
<MediaElement.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="MediaElement.Source" Value="../Videos/video.mp4" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Window}}, Path=IsActive}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="MediaElement.Source" Value="" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</MediaElement.Style>
