      Hey,
      so i have the pib+ with the retropie4.5
      I tried with no overclock at all, and still it happens..
      So if the settings of the Screensaver on videos mode , its getting stuck everytime on a different video after couple of hours and its on a loop (the video)
      the emuliationstaion is forzen with the loop video .(didnt mess with the settings of the screensaver videos or anything like that).
      on the ftp its still working the pi.
      If i switch the Screensaver for Images no freeze for days...
      So this is the only solutions i found for now.
      Any Ideas ?

        @shavecat Sorry, no solution. Just wanted to say that this also happens on my Retropie since at least 4.4, and still does with the current version (updated via the setup menu).

        It doesn't seem to depend on the video that is played. It happens with many different videos, and those I remembered played normally many times before and after.

        Here's my information that's requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. You may want to add yours for a higher chance of pinpointing the problem.

        Pi Model or other hardware: 3B without +
        Power Supply used: official from Raspberry Pi Foundation
        RetroPie Version Used: 4.4 updated up until one week ago
        Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
        USB Devices connected: 2 DragonRise zero delay encoders, Ultimarc PacDrive, Mayflash wireless Wii U Pro adapter, 2 Ultimarc AimTrac lightguns, Samsung 840 SSD
        Controller used: 2 Ultimarc Mag-Stik Plus, 2 QUMOX Wii U Pro wireless gamepads
        Error messages received: none
        How to replicate the problem: letting the ES video screensaver run for a long time.
