Hi,

Has the splash screen been removed, not an issue, im just curious.
My pi 3 shows the video, then its blank till kodi loads..started #0505 for me

Thanks Bucky

Not really noticing anything different here... and I've gone back to builds from Oct 2016 (#1001[2016]) while testing this.

In all cases, including #0505, the LE splash screen appears (for 2-3 seconds), the splash video plays normally (for 6 seconds), and then after the video ends Kodi shows a blank black screen for 8 seconds while it loads the GUI (timings from RPi3/arm_freq=1300). The only way to avoid/minimise the blank screen is to use a longer video... or for Kodi to start more quickly.

Might possibly skin related - for example, a lightweight skin might load more quickly (I'm testing with stock Estuary). Or maybe a change in #0505 (stats?) is slowing down the loading process enough to be noticeable (which I'm not seeing with stock Estuary, as this has always been slow).

If you're sure something has changed, can you upload a video with before/after #0505 showing what you are seeing?

Edit: added approximate timings, which don't appear to have changed since at least #0401.
