Best way to code playable screensaver

[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.

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

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.

@mrjj thanx for quick answer back I'll look at this see what it's about
