thank you :)

Thanks! That solved the issue!

I think it is fixed. I reboot multiple times and only once it flicked black for about 1/2 a second.

I moved my splash screen to /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/

then I

edited asplashscreen.sh and removed the -b from around line 37 near OMX (that removed a black background that used to be needed to hide post text.

I had to use the command sudo chown on the directory to get write access

@mubonassi It might have been useful to provide that information beforehand, but glad that you got it sorted out in the end.

I'd love to be able to use the attractmode with OSMC, but I think it isn't possible

I use OSMC for KODI and installed RetroPie via RetroSMC, which now works perfectly with Debian Stretch now that RetroPie has been worked on for Stretch

I've even tried custom scripts I found that add the attract options to emulationstation so you can switch between the different modes via the emulationstation menu but that doesn't work either as the modes don't appear on the emulationstation menu. At least not with OSMC as no menu options appear and I've never seen the 'Configure Splashscreen' option either with OSMC

Hi! I'm having the same problem. Did you solved that?

@herb_fargus Possibly. But the display settings are correct and the aspect ratio of the splash video matches the vertical screen exactly.

Fookin awesome this rick and morty splashscreen bro !!. its going on my next 'go big or go home' xu4 image. well done and thanks again. Elliot.

@jonnykesh I tried downloading asplashscreen.sh from /splashscreen/ but the file will not download, it says it's "unable to open asplashscreen"

I am doing this with root access on my PC but this is just weird.

@pokeengineer
Thanks Man!

@taylaway I see this is now on line 35,not 39. Should the final line look like this?:

omxplayer -o --layer 10000 "$line"

I wasn't sure if the word "both" should be removed as well

@fluid

Cool splashscreen you have there. =)

@retroprogrammer Don't give up, the best advice i can give is to never try to learn all in one time. Instead, focus on little things (like you did with the splash screen) and you will be gathering knowledge. Find an art style that you like and have fun doing it.

Since you like pixel art, you can give a try to Derek's pixel art tutorial, it's pretty much the style that you make on your splash screen.

I'm not on an RPI. I am on an HP SFF type of machine with a Core 2 Duo CPU etc...

Thank you so much for your help on that. I will be more specific with my first posts in future.
