Title: Attract mode only loading default view with new tv
Post by: rockyseen on June 08, 2017, 04:58:25 PM
Hey having a bit off a odd issue just bought a Sony kdl32rd433bu TV that I'm using with my xbox and retropie machine, when I plug the pie in and boot it up attract mode boots up in its default view with the big white text instead of the nevato theme.

Been using this for a few months now never had this issue on multiple displays I unplugged the pie connected up to one of my other tvs and it works as normal back to the new Tv same issue tried to change the theme and nothing happens went to boot into emulation station and I noticed an error PSA anyone know how to fix this thanks

@rockyseen
you have to set attract to autostart:
Code: [Select]
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

set # to beginning of the entries (so they get to comment) and enter the command attract (similar this):
Code: [Select]
# emulationstation #auto
attract

-press CTRL+X (to save)
-Y (yes to save settings)
-enter (to confirm file name)

It's already set to auto start, as if I plug the Pi into any other display I have it boots straight up into attract mode as normal it's just when I try it on this new tv, it still does auto start In attract mode but just with a giant list of games in white text instead of my selected theme , all the games still play fine.
