The HyperSpin 2 early access beta is here!

We’re starting the first public testing phase with Platinum Members to keep the scope manageable while we test the current feature set and begin to add more. In the future, we’ll provide a version for basic members as well. On behalf of the entire HyperSpin team, we look forward to another exciting adventure with our community.

Universal Screensaver 1.0.0

hey,

I always wanted to start a screensaver on my hyperspin cabinet, when unattended for a certain amount of time but I found nothing usable.

So I decided to write an ahk Script to start a video screensaver.

Place the exe file together with the ini file to the wanted destination
Install VLC media player
Change the settings in the ini file and save
- VLC_Path= Path to vlc.exe
- Playlist_Path= Path to a media file or to a supported playlist file (for example m3u)
- Time_to_start= Time in seconds to start the screensaver when unattended
- Prompts_for_VLC= command line prompts for vlc to be started with (leave default)
Open HyperHQ and go to the tab MainSettings\Startup/Exit and add Screensaver.exe to Startup Programm

After being unattended for some time vlc will play the selected playlist fullscreen and on top of hyperspin
Hyperspin will also be muted
After pressing any key or moving the mouse vlc will close and go back to hyperspin

I hope everything will work due to the fact that this was my first ahk confrontation, but my tests were successfull.

Greetings
