I don't understand why but a reboot solved this with the newest version… on linux o.O

There are now basically 2 critical issues with AttractMode. One can be worked around, the other not:
First is that it doesn't compile against FFMPEG 4 (see https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/442). This can be worked around at least.
The second issue is the one reported in this thread, wherein AttractMode just freezes (without any errors in the log/stderr) when it tries to load artwork that doesn't exist (see https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/440).
Unless the other guys commenting in this thread are familiar with FFMPEG or LIBSFML, we'll have to wait for Mickelson to reappear and have time to work on it.
What do you see on the console when it freezes?
Are you using software or hardware video decoding? AM hardware decoding is newer in linux (not in 2.1.0).Where to select this? I have no video aside from the standard intro video and all pictures are still images.
Have your tried different video modes? Full Screen vs. Fill Screen vs. Etc.For attrac-man theme? Yes, does not seem to change anything.
I should also ask what Linux distro and are you using RetroPie scripts for your build?Archlinux, building attract mode from aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/attract-git/
