    Hi to all,
    I recently updated retropie 4.4 and the underlying raspbian too.
    After this all snap videos stop working, I get audio but nothing else, I suspect the culprit is the infamous crapware vlc being nowadays updated with some rpi hardware decoding capability.

    There is a way to use another player like mpv or ffmpeg, or to configure vlc to use old version settings?

      @MasterBlatter You can use omxplayer to play video snaps, it's in the Emulationstation settings menu.

        i updated and my snaps turned blue... omxplayer is not an option for me because it forces the video to be infront of the background...
