      Interesting issue - not sure why this is happening but it happens on my 3B and 3B+. I think it might be a video quality thing (HD vs SD) but I'm not positive so thought I'd ask. :)

      Everything is updated. I backed up my card and told Setup to update ALL installed modules just to be sure.

      The 3B is on 4.3 and the 3B+ is on 4.3.17.

      Here's the issue: My screensaver will play system videos but not MAME when set to OMX Player ON - I get a blank screen for those 32 seconds. When I turn off the OMX Player I get MAME videos but everything plays blurred and crappy.

      This is bugging the hell out of me. I am 3 seconds away from deleting the entire mame-libretro/images folder and doing a re-scrape.

      Enjoy the ride!

        I think there's a known issue with OMX and videos scraped from the arcadeitalia.net site - they're incompatible - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12210/neo-geo-and-arcade-not-showing-video-previews-steven-selph-scraper . You could try to re-encode them using Handbrake and see if you get better results.

          Thanks mitu. I didn't see that topic in my search. I'll try a few things. :)

          I have a sub to emumovies.com. I wonder if I can overwrite their files to my card. I'll have to check the file names.
