      Ran into a weird issue here. Until recently I could easily dump downloaded videos into the splashscreens folder, set them in the menu and they'd work perfectly. All of a sudden, only pictures/videos from the default selection actually work. As a test I downloaded all of the extra ones from the menu and those don't work either (skips straight to ES login screen and sometimes the screen will go black for 20 seconds or so).

      I tried adding the following to to autostart.sh but no joy:

      while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null;do sleep 1;done;emulationstation #auto
      

      Any help greatly appreciated!
