Black screen after Startup.mp4

[Didde3000]

Hi!

I installed my first Start up video for Big Box, named it Startup.mp4 and placed in Launchbox/videos

I see the video but then it goes black, and stays black!

I deleted the file, but when I start up now I gets black instantly and stays black!=(

Any help?

Same here, anyone? Thanks

This is the old method for startup videos. For new method just do below. 

Create a folder called Startup in your \Launchbox\Videos folder

Drop and video file into that folder. It does not have to be named anything particular. BigBox will pay it as named. If you place more than one in there BigBox will use different ones at startup. 

Tip: If you have video play issues with it try using Windows Media as that player if you are using VLC and see if that helps.

Startup folder did not work. Windows player did.

Good to know. I would still place the videos in the correct folder though.

Weird. Getting a black screen atm (again). I can remember I had a similar problem with the raspberry setup. Ill dive into it. I remember it was removing something in a config line of the videoplayer.

Well, like I said - had the same problem with retropie. Upgraded the cabinet with an iTX board with an i5 and a GTX 1050TI. Installed launchbox and it happens again. LOL

The solution with retropie was:

I've managed to solve this issue by omitting the -b option for omxplayer in /etc/init.d/asplashscreen on line 39, so it now reads: omxplayer --layer 10000 "$line"
