Adjust volume for video splash screen?
-
Trying to lower the default volume for a video splash screen I am using on my pi. I saw some reference to editing the OMX section in /etc/init.d/asplashscreen. But I dont seem to have that file on my pi. . If this is no longer the correct solution, can someone point me in the right direction? Im running retropie 4.4.12 on my pi 3b+.

Dunno about adjusting the volume, but for asplashscreen.sh try looking in:
/opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/ -
@quicksilver if you can't find a software solution you can re-encode the video with lower volume. It can easily be done with ffmpeg from command line or .bat file; something like:
ffmpeg -i [file.name] -vcodec copy -filter:a "volume=0.5" [output.filename]That would decrease the volume by half, changing the value for "volume=X" above 1 will make the audio louder, less than 1 will be lower.
I can write it in a bat file and test it to be sure its working if you want me to.

@ericbsmith42 thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. Adding --vol -3000 to the omxplayer string lowered the volume to a much more reasonable level.

@goldmansex778 Sorry I know this thread is old but I was hoping you could help me. I'm just finishing up an image to release to the community but the only thing that is wrong is the volume is too loud on the splashscreen and it's distorting. I'm not an expert with Linux so if you could walk me through a possible solution I would really appreciate it. I tried adding the --vol -3000 to the omxplayer file but it won't allow me to save the changes. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much for your time!!! -Chuck
