Game launching video loading screens

@pisces3988
Briefly looking at it, you have a situation where "case sensitivity" might be happening.

/home/pi/RetroPie

is not the same as

/home/pi/retropie

You need to make sure you created the videoloadingscreens folder in the correct location.

/home/pi/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens

Notice the capital "R" and "P" in RetroPie ... make sure you are using that path, not the all lowercase version.

Hello anybody there?

[mitu]

@pisces3988 Please don't bump your posts. This is not a chat - have patience.

I type that command and I got mame.mp4, thats the mp4 file I named, Now what do I
do next after typing that command?

Please post the exact output of the command. If you're using a SSH session, just copy and paste the output.

@mitu

Can you please show me what your talking about so I will have a better understand?

[mitu]

@pisces3988 Execute the command I've posted, then post the result. For instance:

pi@pie4:~ $ ls $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/
ls: cannot access '/home/pi/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/': No such file or directory
pi@pie4:~ $

@mitu

Do I delete this command right here

To type the one you just posted?

[mitu]

@pisces3988 No, just type the command at the command prompt, after you log in to your Pi via SSH (or by exiting EmulationStation).

[PISCES3988]

@mitu

I typed the command but all I get is a blackscreen then it just loads the game I select why is that???

[mitu]

@pisces3988 What command have you typed ? The ls command just lists files, it doesn't start anything.

[PISCES3988]

@mitu

I typed the command that you showed me, was that the one I was supposed to type.

[mitu]

Exit EmulationStation right after you boot your Pi (press F4) and then type the command at the command prompt. I think you're just adding the ls command to the onstart script, which is not what I asked.

[PISCES3988]

@mitu

I exited emulationstation like you told me then I tried to type the command and all I get
is command not found.

This is what I typed

pipie4:~ $ ls $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/

I hit enter after the first command and all I get is command not found???

@pisces3988 said in Game launching video loading screens:

pipie4:~ $ ls $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/

That's not the command I posted.

[PISCES3988]

@mitu

I'm sorry I typed it like this

pi@pie4:~ $ ls $HOME/RetroPie/videoloadingscreens/

@pisces3988

What do I do next with this???
