Thanks, @Tom Speirswill need to look at this. My gut tells me that it may be related to some other video not displaying issues reported with Windows 11.

but my movie, and tv shows play just fine when i select them. its just the screensaver switches to weather instead of random videos.

Did you reboot after it happened? I am not able to replicate your reported errors unfortunately.

[Tom Speirs]

Must be a bug on the screensaver if mame is not used. I will take a look. For the volume, probably reboot.

Just to let you know Sir, I Am only using Gameex to watch movies, Tv shows, listen to music and using the screensaver to play random demo videos.

[Tom Speirs]

yes, i understand. i know exactly what the issue is.

Cheers,
Tom.

[Tom Speirs]

i  just wanted to let you know i should have an update out for you soon. I have not forgotten.

[Tom Speirs]

Okay, I just resolved this and released a new version.

If you have attract mode also play videos and play all videos it will work even if no emulators used.

As for the volume, i have also seen this issue but it was never persistent for me.

Cheers.

Tom.

It worked the first Load and now its back showing the weather screen. the music, movies and tv shows play fine when i go into those categories now. The Only problem im having now is the videos wont play in the screensaver. they go to that weather screen. Is there something in my settings im missing? thx

game to video ratio needs to be 'just play videos' but i will do something more logical for the next release.

thanks.

Ok It Was first On Standard Gameex Screensaver. the videos were'nt showing. Then i Changed It To Time Weather and slide show. games still were'nt loading. then i changed it back to standard gameex screensaver, ran it again and all the videos started playing this time!! seemed like i had to change it to another option and run it first before it would save and change to another option. I hope it Doesn't go out again. thank you sir.
