Redream playing BGM from ES

[UberLumby]

Hello I'm using this script to run BGM in emulation station.
https://github.com/Rydra/bgm-for-es
I've had a few issues with it. One of them being when I open REDREAM (the dreamcast emulator) the music doesn't stop playing.
Using ES V2.9.3RP
Anyone know a fix? Maybe adding something to a .cfg somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

You probably need to add the redream emulator name to the list of emulators defined here, so it knows when to stop/restart playing the music.

Oh! Okay where could I find it? I'm using winSCP and I can't find the file anywhere. Or could I just puTTY and do some sudo nano Haha. Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this.

Thanks for always being helpful though

I have no idea where the script is located - try listing the package's contents with

dpkg -L python-es-bgm

and maybe you can spot where that file is copied.

Found it here /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bgm/Application.py now I just need to edit it and add redream.. it won't allow me to save on winscp gonna have to do it in the terminal I believe

[UberLumby]

sudo nano /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bgm/Application.py
Go to the line @mitu provided add redream save and exit
I did that but redream is still playing the music..
I'm assuming I need to run the script again?

[mitu]

Maybe the name of the binary is different - redream.elf maybe ?

Yup .elf did it don't hear the music anymore. Pretty sure problem solved
sudo nano /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bgm/Application.py
I added "redream", "redream.elf"
save and exit
and I don't hear the music anymore good deal thanks again!

Hey would you know what to put in to get steamlink to stop playing music also?

[mitu]

I don't know, but you can run ps -ef while steamlink is started and see the process name that it uses, so you can add it to the emulator list.
