... still.

Again, this is a very rare and intermittent thing. But just now I applied power to the player and watched very clearly say "Hijack 251 by Mark Lord" for several seconds, followed immediately by my custom logo made in logoedit.

Remove and re-apply power again, animation plays fine.

This has maybe happened to me a total of 3-4 times since the feature was implemented, it is very rare. It is not related to DC or AC power, as I've seen it happen in both places. It is not related to configuration changes in the player, as I didn't change any configuration between the time it worked and the time it didn't work.
