Custom Splash Animation on Raspbian bullseye

[being_rpi_devloper]

I have added custom splash animation using mplayer at video output fbdev2 as omxplayer is now obsolete. When I reboot the machine my screen stays black for some time before the animation kicks in. I want to know how can I get rid or minimize that delay and show my video till whole boot up process?

My service script

Code: Select all

[Unit]
Description=Splash Screen
DefaultDependencies=no
After=local-fs.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mplayer -flip -loop 0 -vf scale=1280:800  -vo fbdev2 /home/pi/splash.mp4
StandardInput=tty
StandardOutput=tty

[Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target

i think you could start by posting/looking-at the image that "systemd-analyze plot" outputs
and look for when your splash service starts, and what it was waiting for

The Operating System known as 'Raspbian' (which is no longer the name for the OS supported by Raspberry Pi themselves) cannot run on PC or Mac hardware.

(Other than by means of some indirect support via a virtual machine environment or similar. )
