Startup delay with message/image

trent · October 29, 2016 at 9:27 PM

Hi,
I am experiencing an issue where LE sometimes boots with broken network connectivity ('wait for network' setting does not help).

So I need to manually put a delay into the boot process, it seems to help.

I use the following autostart.sh and this works to give me a delay... but it's just a blank screen with mouse cursor.

Code

sleep 20

Is there any way to display an image (eg the LE or Kodi splash screen) for the duration of the delay instead of this blank screen with cursor ?

Thanks

ply-image /path/to/splash/image.png > /dev/null 2>&1

that might work (if it doesn't, there are no other ideas) but I'd experiment and reduce the sleep value instead of doing this.

It did not seem to do anything but thanks for the suggestion.

A shorter sleep value would be nice but because it's a sporadic issue (occurs maybe once per 1-2 weeks) it's easier to start high and work backwards.
