Splashcreen video - intermitent playback - not found
-
System Specifics:
Raspberry Pi 4 / 4GB v1.2
Linux 4.19.97-v71+
Emulationstation 2.93RP
RetroPie 4.6.7
Kingston 16GB USB3.0 (acting as redirected home via retropie-mount method)I have set my retropie to play a video splashscreen via retropie_setup.sh however I am noticing the video fails to load intermittently
Grep’ing /var/log/syslog shows the following:
Sep 25 10:50:43 retropie asplashscreen.sh[298]: File "/home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/video/pi station.mp4" not found.
However, a successful launch shows this:

Sep 25 10:52:46 retropie asplashscreen.sh[295]: have a nice day ;)Video file has been shamefully stolen from a popular video sharing site. I have confirmed the file is present in the indicated dir.
Any roms play fine from the memory stick so the home dir is being mounted correctly
Theoretically I could put the video file on the SD card and point /etc/splashscreens.list but I have not tried that yet.
Could there be a lag between the process that mounts the home directory on the memory stick and the omvplayer requesting the video file causing that file not found error?
Thanks in advance

correction:
File "/home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/video/pistation.mp4" not found.
not sure why a "space" appeared the initial log dump
