I gave up as I see there is no support on Github or anywhere!

Uninstall and try something else

@mitu
Thank you so much for your reply.

I can suggest you this new script for BGM, I've been using it for about 3 days and I really like it.

@rommell76 Ah, I didn't know that. Good to hear you did get it working, though.

@philcomm Hello Mr developer, thanks for the clarifications, i will test your script as soon as i move my installation from an sd card to an SSD.

I think I faced exactly the same thing as you yesterday. I got an error message where it said something about the audio, sorry don't remember the error message. I tried a few things and gave up and just installed everything (Raspbian and Retropie) again. It should be another way though..... Its absurd you have to reinstall an OS because of this....

You might have accidentally created the music folder with root permissions and the pi user does not have access to it. Try changing the owner of the folder with

sudo chown pi:pi $HOME/RetroPie/roms/music

and re-try.

@jurassicplayer Hi, it worked fantastic!! Congrats and thanks!! The only issue I found so far has to do with some mp3 files which are played much slower than they should, Maybe I would need to try different mp3 formats but you did an excellent job. None of the other scripts worked for me because of the video previews I use in roms, your script is the only one that fits my build. I only need to figure out how to correct the slow mp3 files issue, in fact if you could implement a method to change music depending on what system is being played as in some Recalbox Themes, it would be perfect, Cheers

@cyperghost I have a working scriptmodule that installs mpg123 and sets up the background music automatically. May I have your blessing to include a modified version of this volume fade script (with credit) in the distribution?

@mitu I gave it another shot and moving the line to autostart did the trick! Music still starts and I get to keep the music folder on my usb stick. Thanks!
