      "I just had to keep moving it around till I got it right. Once I got it right, I locked in the numbers in the config file."

      @jamrom2 Do you mean for Video Pinball? If so, what are your config-file numbers?

      'twas never true. All Pi models have accelerated GPU rendering for video or OpenGL(ES) support under Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS).

      @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.

      In case anyone googles and finds this ... I did get to the bottom of it by looking into the source code (by source code I mean the RetroPie ES version, stable branch)

      You can see here in VideoPlayerComponent.cpp where it launches omxplayer with a bunch of args:

      VideoPlayerComponent.cpp:

      // Run the omxplayer binary execve("/usr/bin/omxplayer.bin", (char**)argv, (char**)env);

      Now if you fire up ES, launch the screensaver, and take a look in the process list while its running (in ssh session, ps -ef) you'll actually see all those args, something like this in the process list:

      pi 2143 1 7 01:16 ? 00:00:08 --layer 10010 --loop --no-osd --aspect-mode stretch --vol -3885 -o alsa --win 0,0,800,480 --orientation 0 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo/media/videos/trally.mp4

      What I noticed is the volume is set to -3885. Now if I run that on the command line to simulate the screensaver I can play with the volume. For omxplayer, volume 0 should be 100% as it's measured in millibels according to the omxplayer help.

      So I quit es and ran this:

      omxplayer.bin --layer 10010 --loop --no-osd --aspect-mode stretch -o alsa --vol -0 --win 0,0,800,480 --orientation 0 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo/media/videos/trally.mp4

      ok great I can hear it now! I researched %vol to db and the formula is db = 20*log(%vol) and that checks out because I had es at roughly 65% volume which equates to about -3742 millibels.

      So I went back into es and set the volume to 100%, and now I can finally hear it on a default RetroPie install. The issue is the drop off is really steep (must be some bug in omxplayer on pi, that their millibels to volume curve is off) because if you set the volume level at say, 60% you won't hear much of anything from the speakers. I think this is also compounded by the fact that when you're playing around with the audio settings in es, many times it resets the volume back to zero because it's trying to sync up the level with alsa.

      Anyway, hope this helps someone get their head around the screensaver audio.

      p.s. also, in es audio settings, make sure you set the "omx player audio device" to alsa (or whatever works on your pi, or in your command line experiments), as that drives the argument sent into omxplayer above.

      No, at the moment this is not implemented in EmulationStation, the videos are always read from the gamelist.
