What Pi model ? What RetroPie version ?
Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, as much as you can.

Far as I know, OMXolayer simply does not work together with game info displayed -- turn off one or both.

The remaining videos, it's almost certainly the video format. Use one of the scripts linked above to convert your existing videos. See this post to setup Skyscraper to detect and convert wrong-format videos on initial download, for future scrapes.

@mitu got it. sounds like I need to upgrade my GPU then

@obsolete maybe should have mentioned that :)

ok so that is surely your issue. you're using hdmi_safe=1, which forces

hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=4

which means 640x480. it may be that your TV puts borders on such a low resolution, and there's nothing you can do about that after the fact.

i would change hdmi_safe=0 and manually edit hdmi_group and mode to something sensible for your TV. probably:

hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=16

or

hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=82

btw config_hdmi_boost=9 does nothing on a pi4.

I got it working!
I previously disabled the runcommand launch menu, so I re-enabled it.
Then, choosing the lowest resolution provided by @quicksilver, it works!

Thank you guys!!

@mitu I will try that when I have time

@cowpuncher said in No video after update:

Related question: For the updates, when prompted "Updated underlying kernel, OS, etc" - Why does that update point to the kernel that kills the HDMI video out? Anybody else who updates their system and chooses to updated the underlying kernel/OS is going to run into the same problem. Just wondering why nobody's changed that to point back to the last kernel that doesn't kill the video.

The OS updates are not distributed by RetroPie, but are coming straight from upstream Raspbian distribution. If you have a video initialisation issue with a certain update, most likely is because of a firmware update.
Try telling the boot loader/firmware what resolution do you need by modifying the config.txt file and tweaking the video resolution parameters - see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/hdmi-config.md.

What version of the Raspbian kernel are you using ? Can you run uname -a from a terminal and post the output ?

@Enra6 Please give more details about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - including what monitor/TV do you use.

I reinstalled everything and its all working, i love this program

Okay...Thanks.

@Kalime correct, though it only really only matters if you find it heating while in EmulationStation.

Enjoy your holidays.

@jaydeesox
For some reason the menu defaults to the dvi cable. Once unplugged this issue goes away and reverts to HDMI only

This solved my problem thank you!!
