Which editor should I use?

Which editor did you use when you created the file in the first place ?
-
Putty
-
Then I tried it directly on the Rasperry Pi as well.
-
Putty is not an editor, it's just a SSH client, used to connect to the Pi.
Connect with Putty, to your Pi, then run
cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.shthen post the output here, surrounded by a block delimiters (three backticks -
```). -
Where do I put the 3 backticks at, If that's what your asking?
-
@pisces3988 I'm asking you to provide the output of that command. The backticks (code blocks delimiters) are for the forum, as @Clyde explained a few posts before.

I don't know why some of the other words are bigger than the other words, it wasn't like that before.

It's because characters as
#have special meaning in the forum post - they start a heading. If you would have added the code blocks, as asked, they would have appear like in the 1st post of the topic.
I added the code blocks to your post, so it shows correctly now.Regarding your issue, you've modified the original script and replaced
default="$HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/default.mp4"with
ls= $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/that's why you get the error. Modify the line back, so it has the correct value.
-
How do I get to that to modify It
-
Can you explain to me how to use code blocks so I'll have a better understanding of what
I'm doing? -

@pisces3988 Please don't spam the topic with repeated messages.
Just add```before and after the text block to have it shown formatted. This is for the forum posts, it will not have any effect on the error you're getting with theonstartscript. -
oh sorry

Extract file name from called ROM
gname="$(basename "$3")"
build path to file and remove extension from ROM to add mp4 extension
$HOME variable will help users that are not stick to raspberry ;)
ifgame="$HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/${gname%.*}.mp4"
ifsystem="$HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/$1.mp4"
default="$HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/default.mp4"If condition to check filename with -f switch, f means regular file
if [[ -f $ifgame ]]; then
omxplayer "$ifgame" > /dev/null 2>&1elif [[ -f $ifsystem ]]; then
omxplayer "$ifsystem" > /dev/null 2>&1
elif [[ -f $default ]]; then
omxplayer "$default" > /dev/null 2>&1code_text -
Is this right or not???
