I am trying to add the amiberry emulator without success.
What is the exact name of "amiberry" to add in emulators line?
Thx!Some help?
-
@nayin How is this issue related to the topic "Background Music"?
-
Sorry, if I am not explained to me well.
When I run amiberry emulator, the background music does not stop. -
@Nayin How do you play your BGM - via mpg123 = @synack method
or via phyton script?The Amiberry emulator, how do you start it? Via runcommand.sh? Means you see they grey loading box if you select a ROM?

Via phyton script, I start the emulator using emulationstation (WHDLoad Pack).

@nayin My first suggestion is to edit python script and add emulatorname to it
line 25 in https://pastebin.com/7E9JiZGQYou can check if emulator is running via SSH and
ps -acommand to get correct name. The mpg123 is better imho as it relies on runcommand ... -
Thx! The correct name is amiberry.sh
-
That won't work as amiberry is a bash file.... start the emulator and use
ps -acommand to extract emuname it's 99% likelyamiberrybut not sure...You need the name of the binary... Maybe if you edit the amiberry.sh you see binary call and add the name to the python script
-
I understand this is a forum for Rasp Pi stuff but trust me I've searched far and wide for a solution.
Anybody have a clue on how to implement this into the windows version of emulation station?
I've tried doing it with running python on PC and attempting to edit some of the scripts but my knowledge of scripting is well frankly poor so yeah...

Been a while since I have had time to tweak my retropie setup. Is there a way to stop the bgm when the screensaver begins? I have videos for all my games that randomly play.

@livewire
wow, thank you so much, this works perfect for me. :) -
I found a tutorial that allows you to use voice commands to play songs from youtube.
if you install python3-pip then it works great. You just tell google to play whatever you want to hear and it plays it from youtube. in the background.
It's not really easier than this because you have to install google assistant (which means setting up an oauth key) but if you can follow semi-technical walkthroughs you can do it and have remote storage of most songs.

Hi Im having a hard time getting this to run. I used all the same locations as you did, i used the latest script you wrote, put all the music which were ogg files in a music folder inside the roms folder, my file is called Test1.py, and placed inside PyScripts which is in /home/pi. I wrote out the rc.local line exactly as you did, including the quotes and &. The music just wont play, and im not getting any sort of error messages when i go back to the terminal. Whats even stranger about all of this, is Ive gotten this to work on other pies in the past, this time i did a fresh install of everything on a 128gb sd card, and the background music wont work (this is the first time ive tried to install it on retropie 4.3, and the first time i have video scraped roms) . But after updating one of my old pies, the background music still works on them. Is anyone else having trouble with this????
-
Is it possible to create custom launch file for specific rom that will not disable music?
-
hey guys i follow the easy way but i have one problem: my pi says the bgm folder already exsist but i cannot find the folder anywhere i tried over USB and Windows PC to copie my mp3, when i create the folder my pi says that he cannot create an exsisting folder
-
@livewire so I Googled how to put background music on my retro pi. Well I get this error about one songs says it's not an Ogg file yet all the songs play it doesn't even tell me which song it is so I have no idea which one it could be you got any suggestions?
-
I've found that mpg123 will occasionally make my entire pi freeze when idle for a while so just in case you've been getting this like I have, kill mpg123 and see if it fixes your stability problems.

@anassassinsblade
that is odd, i have only mp3 in mine and i dont get any errorsother then having to remove and put one song in at a time, i would say try a different format maybe
-
@jman Hi did you solved the problem with the music background while you run Daphne? Thanks a lot
-
@milleland Change the emulator name to: daphne.sh
