@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 :)

@ketaketish about mp3 lenght... There are surly tools available that can analyse track length. Easiest approch would be a small script like this #!/bin/bash while pidof mpg123 > /dev/nul; do sleep 10 done mpg123 -q -Z /path/to/mp3files/*.mp3 Then you send this script to background alongside with the script. You add a line between 101 and 102 like /path/to/script/above/shuffle.sh & It's a dirty hack but will work EDIT: Improved the dirty hack a bit

I've updated the script a bit We can now use -stop and -cont parameter to force stoping and resuming music. Updated first topic to

@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.

@mitu thank you so much, it works perfectly!

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