      @upjumptheboogie depending on the video player and your pi model, try lowering the video resolution and see if it helps.

      To get a random file from a list of files, you can use the same approach as the splashscreen command, using the shuf command:

      file=$(find "/path/to/images" -maxdepth 1 -type f | shuf -n1) # link $file to system's `launching.png`. ln -sf "$file" "path_to_launch_image/launching.png"

      Here is the part of /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh that displays the launching image using either feh or fbi. If you're good with scripting, maybe you could jigger it to play a video with vlc or omxplayer, instead:

      function show_launch() { local images=() if [[ "$IS_SYS" -eq 1 && "$USE_ART" -eq 1 ]]; then # if using art look for images in paths for es art. images+=( "$HOME/RetroPie/roms/$SYSTEM/images/${ROM_BN}-image" "$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$SYSTEM/${ROM_BN}-image" "$HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_media/$SYSTEM/screenshots/${ROM_BN}" "$HOME/RetroPie/roms/$SYSTEM/media/screenshots/${ROM_BN}" ) fi # look for custom launching images if [[ "$IS_SYS" -eq 1 ]]; then images+=( "$HOME/RetroPie/roms/$SYSTEM/images/${ROM_BN}-launching" "$CONF_ROOT/launching" ) fi [[ "$IS_PORT" -eq 1 ]] && images+=("$CONFIGDIR/ports/launching") images+=("$CONFIGDIR/all/launching") local image local path local ext for path in "${images[@]}"; do for ext in jpg png; do if [[ -f "$path.$ext" ]]; then image="$path.$ext" break 2 fi done done if [[ -n "$image" ]]; then # if we are running under X use feh otherwise try and use fbi if [[ -n "$DISPLAY" ]]; then feh -F -N -Z -Y -q "$image" & &>/dev/null IMG_PID=$! sleep "$IMAGE_DELAY" else fbi -1 -t "$IMAGE_DELAY" -noverbose -a "$image" </dev/tty &>/dev/null fi elif [[ "$DISABLE_MENU" -ne 1 && "$USE_ART" -ne 1 ]]; then local launch_name if [[ -n "$ROM_BN" ]]; then launch_name="$ROM_BN ($EMULATOR)" else launch_name="$EMULATOR" fi DIALOGRC="$CONFIGDIR/all/runcommand-launch-dialog.cfg" dialog --infobox "\nLaunching $launch_name ...\n\nPress a button to configure\n\nErrors are logged to $LOG" 9 60 fi }

      You can see where it shows the paths and filename-patterns to look for art, (near the top) and where it defines the accepted extensions (for ext in jpg png; do). You'd want to change this part to include mp4, or whatever format your videos will be in, and possibly also add paths above to include ${ROM_BN}-video or similar if that's how you'll name them.

      Then there's the part where the image is displayed with the feh or fbi commands. You'll need to craft a command with the proper options to show your brief video snap, probably with either vlc or omxplayer. Probably also a check on which extension is used to determine whether to use the video or image command, unless you're going to only have videos, and then you'll need to remove the parts referencing images at all, including the "ports" and system-wide launch images (or change them to use the videos too.)

      Got it. I found the issue.

      Using that CRT/HDMI video mode switcher added a two line statement to my \boot\config.txt that wasn't there before.

      framebuffer_height=1920
      framebuffer_width=1080

      Not sure why it added this, but as soon as I commented and rebooted, my RetroPie core was back to normal size and not shrunken anymore.

      I don't have many statements active in my config.txt so I noticed an extra "list" of other video related stuff at the very bottom. It seemed to have duplicated some of the entries that are in sections above and placed them in the last [all] section of the file. I commented it all out so none of it is active.

      framebuffer_height=1920
      framebuffer_width=1080
      disable_overscan=0
      hdmi_force_hotplug=1
      enable_tvout=0
      hdmi_group=2
      hdmi_mode=82

      @code_dredd said in Issues when mounting more than just ROMs over NFS:

      It seems NFSv3 didn't really fix the issue and ran into others (e.g., weird user IDs on remapping). I've gone back to NFSv4 and increased the number of NFS servers/processes from the default of 4 up to 5 to see if that helps.

      It didn't help.

      @obadiahjack

      I ended up figuring out a round about solution, more details on this reddit thread for those looking:

      https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/l51c9g/playing_video_before_shutdown/

      My roundabout solution:

      As discussed with reddit user u/ben_theredonit, the pi4 fails to utilize the emulationstation.sh at the time of posting when shutting down. So editing emulationstation.sh, will not work to play a video before shut down. I solved the problem through a roundabout solution. I found a shutdown button that can be added via the carousel, developed by Steve Smith. Below is his video and in his YouTube description, his files:

      The user Lampros in the youtube comments has a guide to install, if you find yourself getting the permission denied error, as many people in the comments have, I fixed mine by simply typing "sudo" in front of the "chmod +x" command

      From there, I simply changed the 'rom' shutdown script adding the "sudo omxplayer RetroPie/roms/shutdown/shutdown.mp4" code and it worked.

      Big thanks to reddit user u/ben_theredonit, who offered their help.

      I hope this helps anyone that was lost as I was when trying to add a shutdown video.

      @mitu thanks, I've edited my post to just leave the systems I'm having trouble with. They all point to the 'parent' system.

      EDIT: I changed the name for naomi from dreamcast and it's working.. So problem solved. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
