            @lokize I don't think you can do that in EmulationStation, I think it is a feature in Attract Mode though

                @madmodder123 please can share an install guide as I've not been able to install the script. When I tried the run command it failed for me.

                  @lokize Out of curiosity, why do you prefer RetroPie over Recalbox ?

                          @legacy said in Modified Background Music Script with added overlays!:

                          sudo python /home/pi/BGM.py

                          try "sudo python /home/pi/BGM.py" in the command line and tell me if it works.
                          if not try running "sudo bash BGM_Install.sh" when installing the script.
                          Please post the console output of any failures/issues, it makes things much easier :)

                            sudo python works, but i still get same result no music unless i turn toggle switch on then off.

                            i get a pngview process error, when launching a game and since installing the script a gamelist.xml error on startup

                              Please post your /etc/rc.local file.
                              Also the gamelist.xml issue sounds unrelated to this script

                                @madmodder123 ,

                                The gamelist issue happens every time I install the script. I have a backup image, which I have just restored and is working fine. I have tried this about 6 times now and I have decided to sack it off.

                                I managed to sort the gamelist issue by copying the file back.

                                My RC local file is also fine. I think there maybe a problem with my build as I have stripped it back.

                                Thanks for your time. I may come back to this music mod later down the line

                                  @madmodder123 Wow this script is great!! I've got it running with over 20 songs and it does a great job of randomizing everything. I was wondering if there is a way to hide the text that shows on the left side when you launch or quit a rom. This text states that the music is stopping or starting back up. Thanks again for doing this!

                                    I fixed the gamelist issue and the console output issue guys :)
                                    Just took the time to make the script smarter and then tried it out on a fresh install :D
                                    Just make sure you run the script as root ("sudo ./BGM_Install.sh")
                                    Let me know if you find any more issues!

                                        the error i get now when i launch a game

                                        is /usr/local/bin/png view: no process found

                                        also editing the rc.local file is stiil not working on boot.

                                        bare in mind, emulation station i have the launch screen disabled, so it boots into the main front end.

                                        is there another file i could add the boot text to get the script to launch.

                                          @madmodder123 Ok, i've installed on a clean build. The retropie menu looks fine, however the music does not play and I get the following error when trying to turn on/off the music.

                                          Traceback (most recent call last):
                                          File "/home/pi/BGM.py", line 66, in <module>
                                          from pygame import mixer # import PyGame's music mixer
                                          ImportError: No module named pygame

                                          Any ideas?

                                            Did you run the install script - as explained in the 1st post ?
