@robertvb83 said in Screensaver shows hidden games and freezes emulationstation: but still I am interested about that fix... That fix would apply only to @scocasso's case (where he had empty video tags), in your case the behavior would be the same - the screensaver would read the video path, check the video existance, not find it, then go to the next - a few tens/hundred times until it will give up or actually find a valid video file.

Hi all I have modified the @hiulit script here so it can run on a generic host with VAAPI hardware encoding

@DUBlajes This is the way i used to get it to work. Maybe you can get it working as well. I must warn you that this is a long time ago since i last tried Brutal Doom with Zdoom on my RetroPie. Go to opt/retropie/configs/ports folder and create a new folder called brutaldoom. Copy the emulators.cfg file and the zdoom.ini file from the doom folder in the opt/retropie/configs/doom to the brutaldoom config folder. (Notice this might need sudo command in terminal) Paste this into the new zdoom.ini file in the brutaldoom config folder so that it will replace the original text. # This file was generated by ZDoom <unknown version> on Sun Aug 13 13:59:52 2017 # These are the directories to automatically search for IWADs. # Each directory should be on a separate line, preceded by Path= [IWADSearch.Directories] Path=.

It depends how many roms you have and how many of them are part of the current mame set 0.201+202 if Progetto or scraping will be better. But a good option nonetheless.

you're right. I was looking in the wrong partition. thank you very much

"Friends" The One Where Joey Dates Rachel (2002) Phoebe gives Chandler and Monica a late wedding present: the game Ms Pac-Man. After Chandler fills the Ms. Pac-man machine with some very rude initials, Phoebe tries to beat all of his top scores before Ben comes over and sees them... It doesn't quite go as planned.

I also had the same thing happen on my Odroid Xu4 even with the best power supply while using an external hard drive. Turns out the real issue was that the power where I was living at the time just sucked.

@mitu Scraper source was my issue. Vids are downloading now. Thanks for helping me resolve.

@DRA6N yes looks fine, good work! keep it up!

@mitu said in Videos on system view screen?: No, it's not possible right now - this feature is not implemented. such a major bummer! I have a great idea but I guess I'll have to save that until they implement that function. Back to working on my theme. thanks!

@cloudlink Not currently.

Hey @momaw27 Have you tried overclocking your GPU ? The reason why I'm asking is because I experienced the same issue.... but after 5+ hours of screensaver. I tried a bunch of stuff... Regenerating and removing most of my gamelists, building Retropie from master, updating just about everything on my Pi, trying various settings in ES.... And then I noticed a video glitch in the ES interface when a video preview started, then all the interface froze except for the preview. I changed my GPU overclock from 550 to 525 Mhz.... and no more freeze. I hope it helps Toitoinou

Here is the link that I followed that clued me in as to what the issue was: https://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/splash-screen-video-intermittently-doesnt-play/

@willindiana You can edit retroarch.cfg and set the driver. May I suggest you try also the lr-beetle-psx core ? It has Vulkan support and since you're on x86 it can be installed from the optional packages section.

You could also just add them to the gamelist entries for each game?

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