Video splash screens cutting out

[Drakaen391]

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.

I’ll try that

@clyde worked like a charm... now just have to fine tune it

Thanks
