Slash Screen Help!
-
I have just enabled splash screens and put my own video in there. When the splash screen is playing, during the end of it Emulation Station starts up and you can see in behind the splash screen and it looks crap. is there anything you guys can do to help me as I'm new to all this and don't really have a clue. I will put a link to the video i recorded to show you what i mean.
-
Get a better power supply. Nothing to do with your problem but still good advice.
-
What is the resolution of the video?
-
@jonnykesh If you mean the splash screen video then i have no idea. It doesnt say anywhere, checked the properties of the file and used vlc to check and it doesnt give a res.
-
I have changed the resolution of the video to 800 x 480 as that was the screen resolution and its fixed being able to see emulation station in the background. The only problem i have now is that the splash screen still starts late ?
Isnt the splashscreen meant to hide all of the boot text at the start ? -
-
The text has been removed now, thank you. Do you have any idea why my Splash screen takes so long to start tho ?
-
@dirtydond because the Pi has to boot and initialise services and programs before it can play the splash video.
No video player running = no video. -
Makes sense yeah, thanks for the Help !
-
@dirtydond the Pi will boot more quickly if you turn off
wait for network on boot
This can be done by runningsudo raspi-config
then chooseadvanced options
boot options
-
@jonnykesh When i go into the advanced settings there is no option to disable this feature. I will look around for this in some other settings.
-
It's actually in "boot options" of raspi-config.
-
Yes, i found this. Thanks for the reply tho !
-
@jonnykesh If you disable this option
wait for network on boot
, will it eventually connect to the network? -
@hiulit Yes it will. It just won't halt the rest of the boot process waiting for a network connection.
-
@jonnykesh Nice! I'll try it then, thanks!
