      You can just replace the BGM.py script (but you might have to delete it with a sudo cmd, remember to make it executable too!)
      I updated the install script but all I added was code to change the BGM.py file owner and the permissions.

      It should stop showing the no process found message too.

        I've just replaced the whole BGM.py file, all good for now, you are a frickin genius my friend :)

          I might be able to add an option to round the edges at a later date :)

                I updated it!
                Just download it and change it to:
                overlay_rounded_corners = True
                and you are good to go :)

                    Is it possible to edit the font size and the font alignment?

                      If you change the overlay size it will automatically resize the text.
                      If you want to edit the font alignment/other font attributes, you can look at this page: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/
                      and edit the following line of code to add whatever code you need:

                      generate_image = "sudo convert " + overlay_rounded + "-background " + overlay_background_color + " -fill " + overlay_text_color + " -font " + overlay_text_font + " -gravity center -size " + overlay_size + " label:\"" + song_title + "\" " + overlay_tmp_file # Generate png from text
                      

                      PS: I would download the latest version of the BGM.py script, I cleaned up the code to make it easier to edit (the functionality remains unchanged though)

                        any chance of making this a bit more system agnostic? as is it'll take a fair bit of editing to work on the odroid since you hardcode /home/pi/ in it and odroid uses /home/pigaming/

                            @madmodder123 just to confirm does this script work with Retropie 4.4 on Stretch? Didn’t want to screw up anything on my system although this looks awesome!

                              @BJRetro Yeah it should, I personally haven't started using stretch yet.
                              If you wanna try it, always make a backup image of your SD card before updating/changing things/adding scripts . Then you can just revert back to the previous image if things are messed up

                                I confirm it working fine on Retropie Stretch 4.4.4, with last updates is like an official bgm player.
                                I suggest turn background overlay white, text black (gray is too light, i don't know the command for darkgray, not seem to work) to match ES menu style.

                                Edit: "DimGray" for text is very close to ES palette!

                                  @DarishZone thank you! Building a bar top this week on a fresh load of Retropie so will try to incorporate this!

                                    I was able to set a config similar to gleam2003 with last madmodder123 update! The overlay is placed on same area of ES notifications. Thanks for your great work, that thread should be more alive...

                                      Completely new to this and I'm having some issues with installing the script. When I try to run the install command i'm met with these "No such file or directory" errors alt text, and it's not installing the BGM.py and BGM_Toggle.sh either. i'd appreciate if if anyone can help me out here.

                                        I have updated the script and it should work now.
                                        Just make sure you delete the old install script and the /home/pi/retropie_music_overlay folder if it is there.
                                        Just run it and it should work
