[Feature Request] Global size and position setting

[SenseiPSK]

Ability to set video parameters globally instead of in every video config file.

Would it be possible to have a global config file or menu setting to adjust the video size and position for every video that plays rather than needing to adjust every song config file individually? Maybe any of the advanced settings relating to the screen itself and not specific video playback could be set the same way if it just reads these settings at loading instead of using the default settings?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I agree that more customizability in this regard makes sense, I was already planning on implementing this in some form. The main issue is that the ideal placement varies per environment and also depends on how that environment was modified, so a single custom placement setting would probably not be enough. My idea so far is to remove all the hard-coded default placements and environment modifications from the mod and transfer them to a config file that gets bundled with the mod. I would then create a second such config file with the same schema in the UserData folder of Beat Saber, which can then be edited by the user to override any of the defaults. The priorities for environment modifcations and placement settings would then be (in descending order):

1. Video config (made by mapper)
2. Custom placement settings (made by user)
3. Default settings (made by me)

I'm definitely looking into this and will add it at some point.

That would be perfect, especially if there is a way to prevent either the default or user config from being overridden by the mapper's config if desired. I know sometimes for streaming it's best to lock in one environment and have a fixed screen size and position, so the ability to edit a config file once and not have to think about it again would be great. Thanks for your hard work on this!

Hi Kevga, I have been using the Cinema mod for a while now and it's working great! I just want to follow up on this topic since a global screen size and position setting would be really helpful, especially for those of us who use Camera2 to record videos. Sometimes it's just too difficult to adjust the camera settings to include both my avatar and the cinema screen. Definitely no hurry on this but I wonder if there are any plans of implementing a size/position setting?

On the other hand, it seems there is a way to set size/position individually for each song? If so, could you please kindly share the method? I've been searching the internet for this and haven't found anything...

Thank you for your great work on this!

I did start work on a new environment modification system quite a while back, but the solution I came up with got overly complex so I felt it better to scrap it. I still plan to implement global custom placements in some form, but it doesn't have the highest priority right now.

As for per-level placements, you can refer to the readme which lists all the settings available in the video config files. It does involve manually editing a JSON file though.

Found it! Thank you so much!
