Splash screen problems! :(

taylaway

Hey guys I’m having problems with my splash screen with it flickering and going blank but before the latest update I could fix it by editing the omx player line 39 and deleting the -b but when I type in the command now to get there ( Sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen ) since the latest update it shows up a blank screen with no txt :( any help would be very much appreciated as i can’t find info on this anywhere online! :(

@taylaway The location of the asplashscreen script has changed a few months back and has been converted to a systemd service.
You can find it in /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh, edit that file and apply the fix you need.

I tried editing the file but permissions are denied when trying to save and upload. Is there another way to edit this file?

Try one of

Edit directly on the RPI, using nano. Open a comand line or login via SSH and edit the file with sudo nano /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh.
Copy the file to /home/pi and edit it there. After you finished your edit, just copy it back by executing

sudo cp /home/pi/asplashscreen.sh /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/

from the terminal or ssh session.

@mitu the first option worked perfect. Thank you

@mitu Total noob here. How do you copy it back by executing? I have a copy of asplashscreen.sh in /home/pi. When I right click the file I see File Custom Commands --> where Execute is an option. Clicking Execute seems to do nothing. When I go back to /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh the file remains unchanged. And I'm doing this all over WinSCP.

@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
