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.

Does anyone have any recommendations on the best two player team games? - The wife is loving Tumblepop - has completed it three times now... but I got bored quickly... RetroPie EmulationStation HomeBuilt BarCade

@alturis It actually was based off of a script that did just that, convert from yuv444p to yuv420p, but I wanted my script to let the users decide from which color system to which color system they wanted to convert their videos. I don't know if I like having defaults, but I'll think about it. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it :)

I've just released Retropie-Convert-Videos v1.0.2. Fixed Fixed some outputs. Fixed git clone URL in README.md. Added Merged #3 - Thanks to Dan Edwards

@hiulit It's a script, so we could inspect it for its function. Alas, my Raspberry isn't operational at this time, because my upright cabinet is in its last stages to completion, but currently dismantled.

Do you have any video scraped for your games ? That's the source for the screensavers - so you should get those using the Steven Selph's scraper - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/. Then, you can look in the video posted by @retroprogrammer - skip the whole updating and re-installing - to see how it's configured in EmulationStation.

also, to ensure that none of my changes have affected this, i just tried a default, no rom, freshly downloaded install. still the exact same results.

@trailjacker I personally don't know a lot about scrapers. I usually use sselph's scraper and then manually add videos on my own, though I'm using an old version of the scraper. Sorry I'm not more helpful here - maybe a separate thread with that particular question may help?

On the https://screenscraper.fr site, there's a list titled "Server" in the upper right of the page. There, you can see the current CPU workload in percent. If the load gets too high, the green checkmarks will go red to show that these users will be blocked from scraping until the load goes down. Non-registered users will be blocked first, then registered, then (maybe) contributors. So, I guess registering will get you blocked later. But I'm not registered there so I can't tell you for sure.
