Hi,
Followed this guide to play a video at boot so you can’t see the bootup text but the video ends up playing as X starts up so you still see most of the text.
[http://blog.sheasilverman.com/2013/09/adding-a-startup-movie-to-your-raspberry-pi/](http://blog.sheasilverman.com/2013/09/adding-a-startup-movie-to-your-raspberry-pi/)
I’m guessing it’s because dietpi boots so darn fast omxplayer doesn’t have time to do it thing or it isn’t being called early enough?
Is there something different I can do to make the video start sooner?
thanks.

It might be the service ordering needs changing.
List init.d ordering (copy and paste results if you can):
```plaintext
ls /etc/rc?.d/
```
Look for the entires with SXXasplashscreen. You could try forcing it to start earlier with:
```plaintext
update-rc.d asplashscreen 00 80
```
