@mitu success - I'm now in. Thank you so much for your help - much appreciated and sorry for my daft questions

@mitu said in BGM in Ubuntu Desktop 18.04: @dbrown1986 said in BGM in Ubuntu Desktop 18.04: I think Ubuntu wouldn't allow it since it was a 'hidden' folder. First time I hear this kind of - obviously wrong - explanation. Check the permissions on the folder and make sure your $USER owns the folder where the scripts are saved. You don't need to use sudo to edit something that's in your home folder. Could also been something I mucked up; since I installed using net-inst, I checked the permissions and they looked fine.

@thestarglider My pleasure mate, I'm glad I could help :)

So this is an updated version of the music player with additional info to selected mp3 file. See bottom line .... Get it from here

@cyperghost i will try it out ... thx for helping so fast

@prog-amateur I would also like to know the steps taken to add BGM to RetroPie. This would be a great feature to be added

I think I got the OGST case code all finalized, i'll do some testing to make sure everything still works on the Pi and possibly release the code later this week. Also i'm still having problems trying to write images to the framebuffer for the ODROID and other linux systems (basically what pngview does for the Pi). If anyone wants to help I would appreciate it :)

@Eric_McTrainshit No with this script is is possible to realize fade in and fade out of any music. It has nothing to do with the player or file format itself. I assumed I wrote that comment because someone asked for feature like the python script for BGM has.

@liveforeva You likely setted. autostart.sh wrong ... real deal is this setup (sleep 10; mpg123 -q -Z /home/pi/bgm/*.mp3 < /dev/null) & emulationstation #auto Check also if your path, where the music tracks are residing is /home/pi/bgm I think this will help you in some kind of making bgm for your images work again

@cyperghost i never really hear it but i dont have the BGM up that much. so for me its all good :)
