XBMC video intro
Hi, is it possible to put a 10 seconds video instead of the XBMC splash screen when I start XBMC?
Cheers.

Re: XBMC video intro
You can add an intro if you want, the slik skin has this option built in. However it will only replace the splash screen and not the flubber. The only way of getting rid of flubber is modchip/tsop.

Re: XBMC video intro
I was thinking about putting this video, nice and smooth.
Is it only possible with that skin?? Cuz I use PMIII or Confluence.
PS: How can I embed the YouTube video in my post??

Re: XBMC video intro
i used a newer bios to remove the flubber.
i then used the advancedsettings file to play my own start up video. this worked a treat however the odd time it will show the working icon for a split second before playing the video.
as for the skin im using the custom confluence lite skin hope this helps

</window>
The video must be called splash.wmv as far as i can remember and from this code - <onfocus>XBMC.PlayMedia(F:\Apps\XBMC\media\splash.wmv)</onfocus> - this will have to be changed if you video isnt in the F partiton.
Also note that i did this a few years back ona far older build so am unsure of the results on the current stable or beta builds. hope this helps mate
The video i used -
120gb hdd, vinyl magma skin, front lights, side strip lights, clear jewel mod with lights, ir dongle mod, hdd indicator. X3 with LCD many mods inc custom x3 jewel.

Re: XBMC video intro
as i said it was used on an older build so the new revision may be causing problems. a few things to make sure - the path is pointing to the right place (where the video is) and that the video is called splash.wmv .
also i dont think all videos work so try the one i used as it defo working. if all else fails do you adjustments and try and run it again while using debug then post to paste bin and provide a link. hope this helps mate

Re: XBMC video intro
Sorry to bump an old topic. I am interested in removing flubber completely. Sometimes I have to put the TV volume on high because a movie/tv file volume is low and when turning on the Xbox at night the flubber can disturb people.sixties keith wrote:i used a newer bios to remove the flubber.
Can anyone point me to a good reliable guide for doing this?
Thanks

Re: XBMC video intro
If you have x2 5035 bios you can use the config app to create an .ini file that will allow you to remove flubber, change colors, fan speed, etc. I think ind bios has a config app that may do the same.iceman-uk wrote:Sorry to bump an old topic.
