Good to know!
Thank you both @mitu and @DTEAM

This confusion happened over the course of weeks after I disabled the onscreen help. Forgive me. I've got some grey hair in my late 30s. :D

Script works and i havent black videos. Thanks!!

@TrisM no problem, pls let me know if I can help you with anything.

@the_engineeer please post your sistem information as requested in the "read-me-first" topic referenced at the top of the forum.

@clyde You are right. I don't have any pi overheating.

@markyh444 very cool! Thanks for the time and effort! :)

@dankcushions.
the webbles and the googlings.

I'm stealing those technical terms;))

@muehltime ah Attract Mode. Never thought of that. But I'm concerned about after installing and using Attract Mode, will I still be able to boot into Kodi and Rasbian Pixel and vice versa? Also, will my music still be able to be played in the Attract Mode menu ; and still have the ability mute the preview rom video snaps and system preview videos? I'll just have to make a backup of my sd card right before I install Attract Mode, and see how that works out.
