      @green_reaper I use the Comic Book splashscreen and I have no problems with it at all.Must be something in people's .cfg files that's causing an issue.

        This is a known issue with OMX Player (used for the video splash screen) and ES. It's not related to this or any specific video. It's a mix of TV model and TV mode (resolution and refresh rate).

        Disabling overscan is one of the potential workarounds. There may be others which I am not familiar with. On occasion, people will just have to not use the splash screen video.

        There's quite a few threads in the forums about this.

          @green_reaper Unfortunately there is not a lot I can do on my end. The video is simply an .mp4 video file. I have it running on several setups and I also have a different teenage mutant ninja turtles video splash screen that also works fine on all of my machines. I wish there was something I could do to the video file to make it more compatible, but I am not sure what that would be. If you want to try to modify the video, you can use a program like handbrake to resize and re-encode it. You might want to give that a shot and see if it works. If you do find something that works, let me know. Thanks

            I'm not sure I'll get an answer but here goes.

            Great theme - I've sat and read EVERY comment on this thread and it was amazing seeing the progression of the theme.

            My query is simple - for some reason some of my images will not show in the small box and I don't understand why. My gamelist.xml is pointing to them correctly. Some of the images work and a few are not appearing. Is there anything to explain this please? What can i check?

            Thanks in advance.

              @DtM2000 If the issue happens in other themes, then it's not a problem with the theme.
              Either way, you should open a new topic and add some info about your setup - the theme author has been inactive in the forums for 2 years and a lot has changed in EmulationStation over the last 3 years.

                @mitu thanks for your reply. I've just had another look and realised I had a mixture of .jpg and .png but all of my xml coding was for .png. Silly boy! Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees! LOL

                All sorted now, thanks.

                  @TMNTturtlguy Late to party but just wanted to thank you for the hard work. This blends perfectly with your theme which is by far, the best one IMHO. Both versions run perfectly on my Raspberry 400 but I did run it through Handbrake to dumb down the gain. A little too loud for my tastes. Thank you again!
