Video Splash Screen

[SteffenMB]

@Thiago1101 Thank you.

By the way, just a quick tip for everybody if you can't get a video to work: don't have any space in the file name.

For instance I installed the "retropie short.mp4" and it wouldn't play from startup. But I then renamed it "retropieshort.mp4" removing the space between 'retropie' and 'short', and then it worked :-)

@Thiago1101 could you please make another "retropie intro.mp4" , long version but using carbon retropie splashscreen on first logo and a dark emulationstation boot screen?

This is so cool! Just changed to a video splash. But the volume of it is so loud! Even though the menu and games SFX are normal levels. Any way to change this, or do I have to edit the video myself and lower the volume like that?

you can edit with sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen and find the omxplayer line and add --vol n / --amp n parameters. note any changes to this file will get overwritten on updating.

man omxplayer from terminal for help on options

Also animated a little video splash screen with the lovely PS1 boot sound :D

Nice. I'm digging the VHS vibe.

I altered the sound in Handbrake instead, but thanks anyways.

What is the music of the first video?

@Thiago1101 cool. Can you rename the title so people know what it is and can find it if they do a search for it?

I made a very straightforward splash screen. I was having trouble finding something that fit the feel of the console and looked like an actual load screen.

Here is a splash screen I made to combine with the "Red Carbon" default theme:

@7heSandman very nice!

@herb_fargus

Wow, to get a "very nice!" out of herb means you did AMAZING! :D

[columboscoat]

@7heSandman Really cool stuff. Any chance you could stick some sound on it? 8 bit loading noises or gears or swoooshing? Some people love stuff like that. I'm not a fan myself but I know plenty of people who are.

@columboscoat Sure, I'll see about uploading a version with audio as well as some with altered colors and appearance. Thanks for the feedback

Hi!

[Deders14]

Good morning,

Does anyone know if you could have multiple video Splashsreens and each time you start Retropie will play a different one?

[herb_fargus]

@Deders14 that's what the randomiser is for

[Kischa]

@Thak Any download link for that great splash screen?
