Slash Screen Help!

Get a better power supply. Nothing to do with your problem but still good advice.

What is the resolution of the video?

[Dirtydond]

@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.

[Dirtydond]

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 ?

[jonnykesh]

@dirtydond use this http://kamilslab.com/2017/03/13/how-to-perform-a-quiet-boot-on-the-raspberry-pi/

[Dirtydond]

The text has been removed now, thank you. Do you have any idea why my Splash screen takes so long to start tho ?

[jonnykesh]

@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.

[Dirtydond]

Makes sense yeah, thanks for the Help !

[jonnykesh]

@dirtydond the Pi will boot more quickly if you turn off wait for network on boot This can be done by running sudo raspi-config then choose advanced options boot options

[Dirtydond]

@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.

[Dirtydond]

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?

[jonnykesh]

@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!
