Use Auto mode.

Things like that could destroy peoples with weak RAM.

I also fear it. This is a cool idea but it would definitely not be acceptable for low-end PCs that struggle to play just a little video. Not to mention that there'd would be an increased loading time each time a song is clicked in the song select screen.

Another toggle.... q.q

And the beatmap page already have preview, just nobody care about it.

Honestly, having a preview like that in map select would be really cool, and as for the complains about it requiring a toggle, just about every significant visual element has one, I don't see what the big deal is about.

The argument of low end computers is stupid because things like these have to be and most likely will be optional.

How about a map preview on !direct as well? just like the audio preview, but with a lower quality in order to be downloaded faster.

This is a good reason to recover low-end PC option on Settings

Basically this, a feature like this will have to be optional.

The thing I'm worried about is the loading time that XPJ38 mentions because as it currently is, map initialization time is a significant chunk of time (half a second, even). It would become a massive problem if you're just going through a bunch of your maps really quickly. The only way I can see this working is if osu! silently initializes the beatmap preview after you've already selected it, AND perhaps only do this after waiting for a short amount of time (something like 1 second).

Also, I imagine the circles and sb to be at 50% or less opacity, because if it were fully visible, it would be really distracting imo.
Also, related feature: t/139169

Some support from me.

This would be a waste of space. you would need to load the video and storyboard elements before you entered the song. It's also not like you could easily disable this feature. it would require a precious F key toggle as well as an Options toggle. It wouldn't be worth it.

Edit: not to mention the seizure warning would need to be implemented outside the song somehow.

It would be a bit tricky to implement, but everything you mentioned can be covered. It's not a waste of space because it can simply play in the background of the song select screen. imo the video shouldn't load for previews, and even so, map initialization should be running silently as I had suggested, and you should still be able to select the map mid-initialization. A feature like this would be easily togglable, and I don't know what you mean by an 'F' key toggle.

Seizure inducing maps can just have no preview, or just not have their sb.

Make it without previewing the gameplay and storyboard, just like those arcade game

cuz loading SB for a preview is silly
And previewing gameplay is ruining the surprise element

Well...if you have the "Disable Video" enabled it will not show you a video-preview on Beatmap selection :D
