V4.3.8 of RetroPie and V2.7.4RP of Emulation station.Couple of small niggles I could do with some help with please.
Firstly, have a small issue with video preview within collections. Followed the above guide and scraped all of the videos for the roms I've got installed, set the UI to display videos, etc. If I enter the Arcade menu, all games are shown along with the appropriate video - I can play a game, exit back to the game select screen, and preview videos continue to be shown.
However, if I enter a Collection, I initally get the videos shown for all, but if I play a game and exit back to the game select screen, the video previews are no longer shown - not even a black box - I can see the background texture image where the video would be. Only way to get them back is to exit back to the top level menu, and re-enter the Collection menu.
Second minor issue is the displayed aspect ration of a couple of the videos - almost all of them are perfect, but one or two are squashed on the horizontal axis (Frogger & Galaxian for example). All the video files came from the same source, and all are the same aspect ratio when I open them manually.
Thanks!

Replying to my own post - just re-checked the source video files and they're not the same aspect ratio - is there a way to stop them being squished?

I ended up re-encoding all of the videos as I none of them were playing with the OMX player enabled, so the Pi was getting rather hot and videos were going choppy - this has had the nice side effect of fixing the squishing problem I had.
