@PJ7 Not really possible at the moment, because the music is not part of Emulationstation. In the future, it might be possible by adding a script for the 'sleep' /'screensaver-start' event in Emulationstation that would stop the music.

Disabling overscan and setting my display to 1:1 seems to have fixed the issue. Not sure what changed as I was using the same settings all this time and it suddenly had issue playing the videos. Thanks guys

@classicgmr AFAIK RPi 3B+ has new BT chipset with flow control where RPi 3B doesn't. This feature limits the BT errors that generate random events. cf https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2264 So it's possible that the problem is not with your DS3. You could try to connect your white DS3 to the RPI 3B (not +) to verify this.

Well I had a look in the emulation station source seems es-core/src/PowerSaver.cpp and https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/master/es-app/src/SystemScreenSaver.cpp would need changed if there is no scripting support. Im going to look at that source a little more. It shouldn't take too much to add a option to add a script option. Like sh screensaver.sh on sh screensaver.sh off i really surprised its not got this option

@jonnykesh Thanks to you both for your help on this!

This would be possible if you check presence of OMXPlayer process. It's not an elegant method but it might work. But keep in mind you will loose opportunity to play video snapshots in gamelist So the better way would be an implementation into the C++ code of ES itslef. PSEUDOCODE #!/bin/bash # Run this script with root user or sudo command # Initiate GPIO x ouput # Exports pin to userspace echo x > /sys/class/gpio/export # Sets pin x as an output echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpiox/direction while true do # Slow down the whole thing a bit sleep 5 # Suggest running oxmplayer instance omxpid=$(pgrep omxplayer) # Set GPIO x high > switch off screen [[ -n $omxpid ]] && echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpiox/value # Set GPIO x low > switch on screen [[ -z $omxpid ]] && echo "0" > /sys/class/gpio/gpiox/value done

@Dominus You may find the instructions to install it here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8734/please-test-random-game-selection-launch-via-video-screensaver Mine is certainly based on his, so not many changes. You would do well in updating RetroPie as whole, yes, though EmulationStation will be different.

@crono141 No worries. Had a quick look at your set-up and it's complicated alright... I hope you enjoy troubleshooting!

@fieldofcows Any update on this yet? There was a thread (but I can't seem to find it anymore) that stated how to get this going. I tested it, but it wasn't working correctly when I tried to shutdown ES. I wanted to give it a go now and see if things have changed.

Sorry for the shameless bump, i am just desperate to change the screen saver to a company logo!
