Splashscreen (VLC) Fails to Display Video on GPi Case 2 (CM4) – Video Output Forced to HDMI

[MrGoatastic]

Description:
After the omxplayer → VLC upgrade for splashscreens, the video output no longer appears on the GPi Case 2’s LCD (though audio now works). Testing suggests VLC defaults to HDMI output, ignoring the GPi Case’s custom display configuration.

Steps to Reproduce (GPi Case 2 + CM4, undocked):

1. Fresh install RetroPie 4.8 via Raspberry Pi Imager.
2. Run the RetroFlag GPi Case 2 script (switches between config_hdmi.txt/config_lcd.txt dynamically).
   • RetroFlag | GPiCase2-Script
3. Boot RetroPie, configure Wi-Fi, install the safe shutdown script (restores audio).

wget -O - "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroFlag/GPiCase2-Script/main/retropie_install_gpi2.sh" | sudo bash

4. Enable a video splashscreen (e.g., .mp4 with audio). - Observe (Pre-Upgrade): Video plays on LCD, no audio. 5. Run retropie_setup.sh to upgrade packages (triggers VLC transition). Reboot.
   • Observe (Post-Upgrade): No video on LCD, but audio works (likely via HDMI).

Expected Behavior:

Splashscreen video and audio should play on the GPi Case 2’s LCD.

---

Critical Context:

• Hardware: Retro Flag GPi Case 2 (Raspberry Pi CM4), used undocked (LCD only).
• Display Management:
  • The RetroFlag script dynamically swaps config.txt with either config_hdmi.txt (docked) or config_lcd.txt (undocked).
  • Issue Hypothesis: VLC ignores the active config_lcd.txt and defaults to HDMI for video output, while audio routes correctly.
• Prior State:
  • omxplayer: Video worked on LCD (no audio).
  • VLC: Audio works, but video fails (LCD unused).

User Note:

Not tested in docked mode. Issue likely stems from VLC’s output detection bypassing the GPi Case’s dynamic display switching.

Please use the forum for support questions.

[MrGoatastic]

This isn't a question. This is a problem on the way output is managed is scripts in the retropie_setup.sh for the splashscreen. You shouldn't have close that right away.

[cmitu]

Actually, reopening since we have enough info. NB: we had the issue template ask users to open a forum topic regardless, but that's not visible right now with the new GH issues pages.

What's the output of running the command:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/kmsxx/kmsprint

If you run the splashscreen vlc command manually, what's the output ?

[MrGoatastic]

If i knew, i would have done it! Believe me! with i opened the issue i had no presented templates. so i just filled the max i could to help finding the issues.

For your demand, I've started a fresh image so we could negate any possible change i could have done by trying to debug it myself. i will also make a image of the version before we start tweaking it so we can track better.

Observable events : Since i ran it in the terminal in SSH. i had sound on the GPi Case 2, and a window on the host with only black

Terminal output for the command /opt/retropie/supplementary/kmsxx/kmsprint

OK, so the system has 2 connected displays, one on the 1st HDMI port (HDMI-1) and one on the over DSI (DSI-1). Don't know how vlc picks the connected display to show the video and why if favours HDMI over DSI, but running with verbose logging may offer some info:

vlc -vv --intf dummy  --no-video-title-show --play-and-exit --mmal-layer 10001 /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/test.mp4

Can you also post the config.txt that was used to add the DSI screen ?

[MrGoatastic]

Here's a pastebin link. other whise i share the file also if you prefer.

Pastebin for config_lcl.txt content wich remplace the current config.txt when its start as handheld mode if previous was the hdmi(dock) one. so basicly its the current config.txt as that what i'm trying to make work. i rarely plug it on dock.

config_lcd.txt

Here for the verbose. it's kinda big too. i've shorten a part as it was repeat thousand of time the same line.

here's a Pastebin of the log or use the summary bellow 🥲

Verbose of VLC ( really long )

Ok, I'll see if I can reproduce the display configuration and check if vlc can be configured to use the DSI video as primary output. Unfortunately the vc4-fkms-v3d overlay has no option to disable the HDMI port (as opposed to vc4-kms-v3d, which has a nohdmi parameter that disables the port).

Here for the verbose. it's kinda big too. i've shorten a part as it was repeat thousand of time the same line.

Unfortunately the log is not useful, since you've connected an X11 display through your MobaXterm connection (you probably have X11 forwarding enabled ?) and vlc has chosen the x11 output - that's not the same configuration that's present during boot:

You may want to unset DISPLAY before running vlc so there's no X11 path in the way.

[cmitu]

Ok, you don't need to re-run the vlc playback test with DISPLAY unset, I think it won't work anyway.

I've taken a look at the configuration (the LCD enabling config.txt) and at what arguments the splashscreen uses for playback. Here's what I found:

• If a HDMI display is connected (determined by runnning tvservice -l), the vlc will be run with the --mmal-display hdmi-1/2 to display the video on the connected port. I think this is - mainly - the reason for which the DSI-1 connected display is not used by vlc for playback.
• I used your configuration on a Pi4 (don't have CM4 nor a GPICase), but with that configuration I get no HDMI port enabled. Neither kmsprint, not tvservice -l show a HDMI port connected

$ /opt/retropie/supplementary/kmsxx/kmsprint
 Connector 0 (89) DSI-1 (connected)
  Encoder 0 (88) DSI
    Crtc 0 (87) 640x480@59.99 24.000 640/41/40/41/+ 480/18/9/18/+ 60 (59.99) P|D
      Plane 0 (31) fb-id: 95 (crtcs: 0) 0,0 640x480 -> 0,0 640x480 (XR24 AR24 RG16 RG24 BG24 YU16 YU12 YV12 NV12 NV21 P030)
        FB 95 640x480

$ tvservice  -l
1 attached device(s), display ID's are :
Display Number 0, type Main LCD

I can't really test if vlc outputs something, since I don't really have a display over DSI connected, but vlc errors out anyway because of the audio configuration which references HDMI.

• vlc has the --mmal-display argument to choose the display, but the only documented (and probably accepted) values are HDMI-1/HDMI-2. According to Can CVLC display on Composite Video or Official Touchscreen when using --mmal_vout RPi-Distro/vlc#37 (comment), if only the DSI-1 output would be connected, then the video playback would work, though I can't confirm that's true.

Given the above, I think that if you manage to produce a config.txt which will result in only the DSI-1 output to be enabled & connected (i.e. no HDMI active), then the playback might work again. Otherwise, given the fact that the MMAL video output is deprecated and not recommended in recent RaspiOS releases, your best chance would be to use omxplayer again and create your own splashscreen service to display the video, since vlc will default to the connected HDMI port always.

[MrGoatastic]

Apologies for the delayed response—life gets busy sometimes! In the meantime, I’ve had a chance to test a few things.

I can confirm that both audio and video over HDMI are working correctly when the device is booted while connected to a TV via the dock. As suspected (and as you confirmed), it seems VLC will not output to DSI unless we can explicitly force it. Sadly, i cannot disconnect it as its part of the case connection with the CM4 module.

I’ll explore the possibility of disabling HDMI entirely using the LCD script, as you suggested. I also have attempted to revert to OMX, but ran into a separate issue—audio didn’t work, although that might be an easier fix. We’ll see!

[MrGoatastic]

Few more test :

vlc -vv --intf dummy --no-video-title-show --play-and-exit --fullscreen --qt-fullscreen-screennumber=0 /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/test.mp4
vlc -vv --intf dummy --no-video-title-show --play-and-exit --fullscreen --qt-fullscreen-screennumber=1 /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/test.mp4
vlc -vv --intf dummy --no-video-title-show --play-and-exit --fullscreen --vout mmal_vout --qt-fullscreen-screennumber=0 /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/test.mp4

Result : No notificable change. Launched on console. did the same, sound on the Case, X-11 output on computer.

DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc -vv --intf dummy --no-video-title-show --play-and-exit --fullscreen /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/test.mp4
DISPLAY=:0.1 vlc -vv --intf dummy --no-video-title-show --play-and-exit --fullscreen /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/test.mp4

Result : Sound on the Case, No visual queue anywere.

`I've also tryed mpv, but failed. i came across info about no having a x-11 server would prevent the video displaying on DSI. i don't know if that would be relevant on my case. but i beleive it could be too heavy for that simple purpose.

i've uninstalled vlc, and reinstalled it. No change.

i've tested a playback with omxplayer

omxplayer --display 4 --adev alsa /home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/test.mp4
Video codec omx-h264 width 1920 height 1080 profile 77 fps 30.000000

Result : video and sound. but rolling back to omx mean i can't update my retropie anymore. 🥲 at least its a safe fallback.

Sadly, i cannot disconnect it as its part of the case connection with the CM4 module.

I meant disabling the HDMI port via configuration, not by physically removing or obstructing it.

As I mentioned before, you can create your own splashscreen service/script to run, using omxplayer, and disable/remove RetroPie's splashcreen. This way you still get the splash working on DSI (not only on HDMI) and can still update.
You may try to replace dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d with dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,hohdmi for the LCD configuration screen and see if it works (i.e. you get the DSI screen enabled and the HDMI disabled, thus vlc may output the splashscreen video on the only screen).

1. Create a file in /etc/systemd/system/omxplayer.service (needs root) and add to it:

   Description=Show custom splashscreen
   DefaultDependencies=no
   After=dbus.service
   ConditionPathExists=/home/pi/RetroPie/splash-omxplayer.sh
   
   [Service]
   Type=oneshot
   User=pi
   ExecStart=/home/pi/RetroPie/splash-omxplayer.sh
   RemainAfterExit=yes
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=sysinit.target
   

   then run sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable omxplayer.service to make it available.

2. Create the splashscreen script in /home/pi/RetroPie/splash-omxplayer.sh (no root needed here) from where you can call omxplayer .... to play your splashscreen.

NB: omxplayer will only work with Buster - current RetroPie 4.8 image - and it's no longer available starting with the RaspiOS Bullseye.

Yes, I've tried, but seems the system ignore it and still send it on HDMI.

You may try to replace dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d with dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,nohdmi for the LCD configuration screen and see if it works

Sadly, it don't work. I've already tried and i lose all video output.

Thanks you for the support, i really though we could get something out of it and stay on vlc ! I guess we can close the issues as it's "unfixable" in the actual way we should fix it. Potential fixes have all big drawback, like stuck on Buster, etc.
