      So on my PiBox I tried to use a video splash screen, but halfway through it cuts out and after a second or two goes to the emulation home screen...

      I can play the preview just fine, it’s only on startup

        @drakaen391 You can delay the start of Emulation Station by adding the line sleep 20 to the file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh. This example has a delay of 20 seconds, you'll have to adjust the value to a length that waits (just) enough for the video to play before Emulation Station starts.

        The /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh should look like this

        sleep 20
        emulationstation #auto
        

        or this

        sleep 20; emulationstation #auto
        

        Both notations work the same, the ; works like a new line.
