@t.h.c said in Best way to code playable screensaver:

Hi
What is the preview wall ?
The sample overview ?

[t.h.c]

@mrjj no I'm trying recreate preview wall in nes saver in qt5 in an layout mode option for mame,nes,etc.

Hi
You can use an listview in icon mode to show image, name etc.

[t.h.c]

@mrjj ok thanx I'll look into that sorry for all confusion i think qt5 is future i like how it works I'll look into listview eventually want to be able to code Frontend For Emulators and screen Saver As layout mode

[t.h.c]

So I been looking at listview basically what I want to do is screensaver mode prolly in dropdown box or combo and you click on it brings up screensaver previews of mini windows in a frame they each display gameplay previews each differently like bunch of televisions on an wall you click on it brings up the game with that plays the preview thanks in advance

Hi
Ok. but as a question is a bit loose defined :)

[t.h.c]

Please elaborate?

[mrjj]

@t.h.c
well you can use a dropbox for selecting it and
draw a preview in a other frame etc.
and if you need a grid of images, then listview icon mode still should
work ok.

[t.h.c]

Ok I'll try that thanx

[t.h.c]

@t.h.c it's not grid of images I need it's grid of preview videos when you click on on one it launches game

[mrjj]

@t.h.c
you mean playing videos?
A grid of small videos that all play?

[t.h.c]

@mrjj just previews no sound

[mrjj]

@t.h.c
Hi
Maybe you can use http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmovie.html
if the previews are simple enough.

[t.h.c]

@mrjj I see the example qmovie it uses gif but works I don't need controls just the autoplay loop of different frames that's not fixed and any books or documents and also is direct x alor opgl a factor I like to play wall of different mp4 or avi files thanx in advance sorry if I'm a pain lol

[t.h.c]

So Listview then icon view for video wall previews ?

[mrjj]

Hi
Yes that would work but judging from your other posts it has to be mp4 etc and im not sure how to easy extract one image to use in preview. I think
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/videooverview.html
can be used for that.
