Make RetroPie play videos on secondary screen infinitely after startup
-
Hi there!
I got an idea to add a second screen and play there some game trailers or teasers. So I'd like to know how to make RPI4 with RetroPie play some playlist (a folder with videos could be fine) exactly on the second screen infinitely and right after the system starts up automatically, with no additional ui on the screen. Also it must not break the primary screen with emilation station.
I'd be glad to see some suggestions from you guys how to achieve this in the best way. -
@andrey27 you could create your own script and launch it before emulation station (add it to the autostart script) and have it running in the background... I think omxplayer could help you. By setting the output to second hdmi... (away so I'm sayibg this by memory) ...This will have an impact on the performance though....I played around some time ago with the possibility to show something in the second screen when a new game was selected in the emulation station menu, maybe this will help you https://github.com/zayamatias/EmulationStation
