      Hi all. As always I managed to break something without making any changes. My video screensaver is working but I am not getting any video previews for any emulated system. Where can I check?

      My specs.
      Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4
      RetroPie Script 4.8.2
      EmulationStation v2.11.0RP

        @rasp_renegade is your ES set to "video" (or "automatic") gamelist view style? What theme are you using (does it support video previews)?

          I changed every setting just to make a change, and set it back. View type was set to video, i temporarily set to auto then back to video. As well as the theme, I switched to others then back to the one that supports video (comicbook 4_3) that I had been using all the time before.

          All gamelists are intact since they still display the metadata for each rom.

            Actually I was thinking video screensaver with the multiple settings. These are the only relevant settings I find in the UI Settings.

            Theme=Comicbook_4-3 (which has always worked and I never changed it)

            Gamelist View Style=Video

              Any suggestions? I have this working on another pi, are there files that I can pull from there to correct this?

                Check to make sure OMX player is set the same (either enabled or disabled) in both places (for "screensaver" and "video previews").
