Player versions 4.x and beyond are based on newer OS versions of Raspberry and do not support bootup videos. Instead you can add a png image to show up during boot. Instructions to do the same are as follows.
- Create a boot-logo playlist with the boot-logo.png and deploy it to the group as the last scheduled playlist (additional playlist) so that the logo is copied to the player.
- Execute the following command
sudo cp /home/pi/media/boot-logo.png /usr/share/plymouth/themes/pix/splash.png
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme --rebuild-initrd pix &
sudo cp /home/pi/media/boot-logo.png /home/pi/player2/public/img/pisignage-logo.png
3. You may have to wait for a minute or so for the command to complete.
4. Reboot the player using the sudo reboot
command
