Attract windows

In the Attract Windows tab, you can modify the behavior of the Attract displays.

The attract windows are the three windows with “attract” in their name, i.e., Attract covers, Attract Actors, and Attract Covers.

These windows have in common that they present all content (i.e., no filter) in your catalog and that the content is rotated automatically. We took the name from old arcade games with an attract mode where the console played the game, trying to attract players. So, the purpose of these windows is to let you discover your entire video catalog. Perhaps for inspiration or perhaps just as a nice “screen saver.”
