      @hsus I doubt it, and why update if everything works as you would like? I haven’t updated my builds in a year or so. Too afraid some game (especially arcade) may just stop working.

      okay i have mode you script a bit
      im using ubuntu 19-04 x64
      make a folder named splashscreens in $HOME/RetroPie and put all your videos in that folder
      put this in you script
      chmod 755 you script

      this script plays a random video form this folder and load emulation station
      the only isuse i have whit this is it show a little splash screen on top of video that emulation station is load-et, but it diapers ;)

      #!/bin/bash #hides the menubar and desktop #gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar #starts Retropie gnome-terminal --full-screen --hide-menubar -- emulationstation & #Plays video in VLC then exits. Replace quoted part with your video's location. vlc --random --play-and-stop --play-and-exit --fullscreen --video-on-top --no-video-title-show "$HOME/RetroPie/splashscreens" exit

      @Malixx Have I mentioned how awesome these are?

      Have you thought about creating a tutorial about how you make these? I could certainly be under estimating how easy these are to create, but I would love to try and create a couple. Provided they aren't terrible (quite possible), I'd share them with the group.

      Nice idea. "Parody" splash screen are fun and look cool, a you're right, RetroPie should have it's own unique flavor. Thanks for sharing!

      @mikeh1982 Transferring the ROMs via USB is done automatically so there is no need to look at the directories, you don't need to manually move anything. If you use samba share over the network then the 4 directories are automatically shared to allow you to edit, transfer, delete, manage etc... Just as a tip, you can add extra folders / directories to be shared over the network. If you go to /etc/samba and open smb.conf you can add entries, eg

      [home] comment = home path = "/home/pi" writeable = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 force user = pi

      Or add any other path you want to access...

      @herb_fargus said in Video Splash and Silent Boot:

      @zoop a few thoughts:

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7826/use-usb-automount-and-loading-splashscreens-from-sd-card-possible

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/7739/video-splash-screen-problems

      I haven't tried from a usb but hopefully those posts will give you something to play with. interesting the overscan thing fixed it. I guess I've always had it disabled so I never noticed.

      If its working for you then I don't see why there is any problem with your implementation.

      Thanks for the reply. The first link you provided offered a decent solution. It seems the trouble is in randomizing from the USB. When running a single video it has never failed, but it just wouldn't work with the randomizer.

      That said, following the advice in the article I moved my videos to the /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/ folder and deleted the default splashscreens I don't want and everything seems to be in order.

      On usb the folder is named splashscreens. I will eliminate the plural as a test but doubt that is the issue because the folder is displayed as a selection and appears correct. The good news is I don't plan on changing the splashscreens too frequently so this solution will work for now.

      Thanks again! I hope this thread helps someone else.

      Hmm. I followed your advice and copied the video-splashscreen over to /home/pi/splashscreens and changed the line in /etc/splashscreen.list accordingly. Strangely this doesn't work, the splashscreens never appears.

      I even double- and triple-checked the paths and tried different folders, but the splashscreen won't show up.

      Edit:

      Just got it to work. After copying it over to /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/ to the default splashscreens and selecting it it works like a charm!

      @batesman the list file is if you want a custom set of choices. You can manually specify which images you want it pull instead of the whole folder
