I download the avi file and would like to rename it as "Hands-v32-h264.avi" to make things easier. I don't want to boot different avis!

If I download maemo_flyby_xvid_lame_r3.avi, and rename it to Hands-v32-h264.avi. Do my device boot at play the new clip? If yes, where is Hands-v32-h264.avi located?

Yes it will play the new clip, however i would make a backup of the original before modding anything, it is located in /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media

Do you know how to move maemo_flyby_xvid_lame_r3.avi from .document folder to /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media folder?

And please do you know how to rename files under xterm?


Thanks,

I am a windoze user so installed ssh client and server on my N900 and then used Winscp via wifi router to acess files etc.

Cool. it works now

This is entirely cool -- the dark video is truly gorgeous on the N900


So - out of curiosity - am I correct in thinking that simply leaving the /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media folder empty would result in no video played and faster boot times, or would it be necessary to edit the .conf file as well? Is there a way to simply comment-out the file name in that file if that's so?

Put a "#" at the very beginning of the statement "filename=...."
for the file
/etc/hildon-welcome.d/default.conf
