@CCFox There's no rush - whenever you can, you just mentioned transcoding them and I don't want to loose the 'opportunity'.
-
Sorry about that...Needed to have a scrape as by body was humming along to the music I was playing!
Where do I upload the file to?

@CCFox No, you don't need an account.

Sorry but i'm not sure what to....I have tried dragging the file to the webpage but no joy.
I only see a few links at the bottom but nowhere to select a file to upload.
I am using MS Edge....Do I need to use firefox as a browser?

Do I copy the downloaded folder to my retropie setup folder and putty into the pi and run from there?

I only see a few links at the bottom but nowhere to select a file to upload.There'a big button on the page that says "Select Files to upload". Doesn't it work to select the files you want to upload ?
Do I copy the downloaded folder to my retropie setup folder and putty into the pi and run from there?
How did you add/downloaded the videos to the Pi/RetroPie system ? Did you use a Scraper or.. ?

@CCFox
Yes, run it locally on the Pi, it can take some time depending on how many affected videos you've got in yup444 format. -
@CCFox I get a 'link has expired' message trying to download the file. Can you upload it again ?

OK, this worked.
Sorry for the delay
As I said, there's no rush. I'll take a look at the file and see if I can reproduce the crash.

@CCFox Ok, I managed to reproduce the error, EmulationStation freezes while loading said video. However, using
omxplayerit looks fine, there's no freeze and the video plays fine. It's VLC that's not working fine.
VLC is automatically installed on RetroPie, since it's used internally by EmulationStation. If you'd like to run VLC manually, from the command line, useclvc <path/to/video/file>.Can you try toggling the 'OMXPlayer' HW accelerated player in the EmulationStation settings and see if you still get the crash ?
-
Thank you for getting back and confirming the error. I have tried to toggle the OMX Player HW settings in Emulation Station testing all options and I still get the same error. This is also after a complete re install.
You also say that VLC is the problem. Why is it not working on the Pi but is on a PC?
Don't really know what to do except try and re encode the files.
Kind Regards

Because the Pi version has specific patches for hardware decoding, so it behaves a bit different. Strange that it's not working with
omxplayer. Can you try playing the video, from the command line, withomxplayer?omxplayer </path/to/video>Don't really know what to do except try and re encode the files.
That would work until we find the root cause and fix the bug.

Thanks for the info.
I have tried to get the converter to run but even though I read and copied the readme and a few attempts to convert the videos it comes up with the error :
'to_ces' value (mandatory) not found in '/home/pi/RetroPie-Convert-Videos/retropie-convert-videos-settings.cfg'
This is what I have in my config file:
Settings for RetroPie Convert Videos.
TIP: run the 'ffmpeg -pix_fmts' command to get a full list of Color Encoding Systems (C.E.S).
From color (optional)
Target only videos with this particular C.E.S.
If left blank, it will target all videos, regardless of the C.E.S.
(e.g. "yuv444p")
from_ces = "yuv444p"
To color (mandatory)
Convert videos to this particular C.E.S.
(e.g. "yuv420p")
to_ces = "yuv444p"
Scraper (mandatory)
The scraper used to get the videos.
Available scrapers:
- "sselph" (Steven Selph's Scraper).
- "skyscraper" (Lars Muldjord's Skyscraper).
scraper = "sselph"
ROMs folder path (optional)
Set the path to the ROMs folder. By default it's "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms".
(e.g. "/path/to/your/roms/folder")
roms_path = "/media/usb0/retropie-mount/roms/atari2600/snap"
Any pointers?

Should I just re scrape?
