        @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 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

              @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.

                    @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.
