[SOLVED] Video Splash Screen Does Not Fully Play

legoanimal22

I have a MP4 video splashscreen set up on my RPi2(can be found here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/658/video-splash-console-stripe). When the system starts, the splashscreen will play, but it will only play half-way and then turn into a black screen. This black screen will persist for the remainder of the video, and then the main menu will show up. How do I fix this black screen?

How did you solve it?
Seems that I have the same problem

I have this problem too. What was your solution?

[edit]
I've managed to solve this issue by omitting the -b option for omxplayer in /etc/init.d/asplashscreen on line 39, so it now reads: omxplayer --layer 10000 "$line"

Yesss! That little parameter command was it!

How to I get to the directory? I am having the same issue and a bit of a noob. Thanks for any help.

@iamthefoof In the command line type sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen make the change, then Ctrl+Xto exit, thenY to save and then Enterto leave the editor. After this reboot.

@WeAreGeek Brilliant! This solved my problem as well. Thanks.

@AlexMurphy It shows an empty script. Do I have a missing file?

@zackyvillian The splashscreen code has been updated recently, try editing the /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh file instead.

I know this is old, but it just helped me today. Thank you everyone.

This worked for me aswell, Thank you!
But...
Now all the video previews in retropie is lagging and stuttering. It has not done that before this. How can it be related?
