      Re: OMX Player screensaver not stopping when pressing start to launch game

      Pi 3B+ 1GB with RetroPie 4.8

      Found this old thread with no solution.. Having the same issue. Games DO launch when using images screensaver - only having the issue with video screensaver.

      I ran the debug and here is the log. I'm not positive what I'm looking at here. Log doesn't seem to mention OMX... Very frustrating. Please help! Thanks in advance!

      Here is my log from start to finish:

        Did you try updating EmulationStation ? The current stable release is 2.11.2, while you're still on version 2.10.1 from almost 3 years ago.
