Putty

@pisces3988

Then I tried it directly on the Rasperry Pi as well.

[mitu]

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.sh

then post the output here, surrounded by a block delimiters (three backticks - ```).

@mitu

Where do I put the 3 backticks at, If that's what your asking?

[mitu]

@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.

[PISCES3988]

@mitu

How do I get to that to modify It

[PISCES3988]

@pisces3988

Can you explain to me how to use code blocks so I'll have a better understanding of what
I'm doing?

[mitu]

@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 the onstart script.

oh sorry
