Background Music [Continued from Help/Support]

Livewire

To be truly honest, that I'm not actually sure how to do (without running an entirely separate script I mean, since there's not really a way to have a python script kill and restart itself at a later time that I know of). If you've got it running on an external HDD, I'd recommend not using 1.03 then.

Hi. My English is very bad. Could you make a video tutorial? In this way, we would see how to do it and we would see progress.

HaroldTemple

I followed step by step and it does not work. Version 3.7 Retropie in a Raspberry 3b. .mp3 and .ogg files. A video tutorial clarify everything. Thank you.

I tried as well to no avail.

Hi! I need help, all works for me if I use in the console :

sudo python /home/pi/PyScript/Test1.py

But when I reboot the py, the music dont work.

This is my /etc/rc.local file

_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi
"(sudo python /home/pi/PyScript/Test1.py) &"
exit 0

Just add the Amiga emulator to line 25 in the script.

Nayin

@HoolyHoo It is added by default, the same problem with pifba and it this also added :(

Nayin

Ok the error is the "2", in uae4all2.
Delete the "2" in line 25 and works. Thx

Amazing script, it work like a charm !!!
It's possible to configure buttons for activate and desactivate the script ??? or for configure a fast - rewind audio player ???
It would be amazing !!!!

Oh boy... this sounds complicated. I was hoping for something a little more "pre packaged" lol. Setting up my raspberry pi with retropie and all my roms was a fun project but i also had google and some great youtube videos holding my hand in the process. Adding music to my pi would be the finishing touch to something i get excited to share with my friends everytime they come over. Ill try my best to wrap my head around this with my university of google.com education. I still hope for someone to simplify this as much as possible. I think a song selection in the emulationstation menu would be a great addition. Much like there is a theme selection built in.

@manser87

for the most part it is,

he does a very good job of explaining what you have to do and how.
Once you get a better handle on how to edit some of the files. this will be easy for you.

it threw me for a loop for a min when the music did not cut for of the Emulators, but then looked and found where i needed to add it

@Livewire Works like a charm, except that it doesn't change to the ingame music when entering a game. The music stops and I have total silence :(

One strange thing is happening to me. For very specific songs, they are played at half speed for whatever reason. These songs include all music I tested from the Mario Kart 8 soundtrack, and the Melee 2 theme from Smash Bros for Wii U. I tried opening the song in Audacity and re-exporting them as mp3/ogg, and both attempts changed nothing.

Anyone has an idea what is going on?

manser87

I did it!!! I'm so freaking excited! Thanks for this!

I've added "smw","supertux","cavestory" to my emulatornames= line, but only Cave Story is recognized. I suspect it's because it's a Retroarch core (lr-nxengine), rather than a standalone binary.

Do I have the wrong process names for Super Mario War and Super Tux?

Edit: I had everything right, I just needed to restart the Pi.

@felleg dont know if this will fix it, but does any of the song have anything in the ID3 tags? if they do they clear them out.

i had a problem with the Doom port seeing my MP3s before i cleared all the tag info.

i dont know if it will help or not, just a thought

It's worth a shot, I'll try it out and edit this post with the result when I get home.
