@olivierdroid92 Yes! Haha! It was very easy to do, couldn't do it through the web portal (not a big issue) but under //recalbox on my pc it was super fast and easy. Fantastic. Thanks again for all your hard work. I researched this issue before I posted and from what I could tell from other posts you all work so hard on this and are sick of people profiting illegally by branding it as their own and this is a brilliant work around. Thanks again and I am super excited to see the look on the faces when I present this gift and the boot it up and see that video for the first time.

Thanks again!

@olivierdroid92 haha, of course, thank you. I've been plugging the sd directly to make transferring roms easier. You guys did such a great job and made this so easy that I've become lazy/stupid.

I'll give it a try right now and thank you.

@olivierdroid92 ahh, I did not know that. So copy the file over WHILE recalbox is running? What is the best way to do that?

Making a Recalbox for as a gift and wanted to put on a custom start up video and am doing something wrong it seems.

I put the video in both 1080 and 720p .mp4 format in the Share/bootvideos folder and also altered the recalbox config file so that it reads as follows: system.splash.select=custom but it doesn't seem to work since the original/included splashscreens still play. I did get it to not play for awhile, although never playing the videos I moved into the Share/bootvideos folder.

This makes me think that it is either defaulting to the "all" format since that is what it defaults to when there is an error, and that all would include the original/included start videos and which is why it plays and that maybe I have the videos in the wrong format? Folder? Size?

Been scratching my head over this for awhile, but put it on the backburner since it wasn't the most important thing, but would really appreciate any help since the custom videos I made were a pain and I would love to have it as a finishing touch for this gift.

Thanks for such an amazing program and community. This is a first time build, and while I tried retropie I simply love the superior ease of use with Recalbox and am so happy with my Raspi 4 build that I decided to try to upgrade to an x86 machine.

Specifically I have
Recalbox x86_64 bit
SSD 240gb
Dell Optiplex 390 mobo
G630 CPU (lga 1155)
GTX 750 GPU

It outputs to an older monitor just fine, but the audio isn't coming in. I tried the audio jacks on the mobo and it works just fine, and I would consider the work around of just plugging a cable between the audio jack on the pc and the monitor, but the interference is very noticeable and makes the audio unbearable.

I'm thinking there is a conflict between the built in sound card on the Dell Optiplex motherboard and Recalbox?

I searched for a config file to switch the audio to HDMI=2 to force the audio to the HDMI but I didn't see a config.txt file like you would with a retropie build. Is there something that is equivalent?

Thank you for any help you are willing to give.
