your x.conf files have to look like this:

and 1.conf should contain another video then 2.conf, 3.conf....

so:
if you have 2 videos you should have 1.conf and 2.conf.
if you have 3 videos you should have 1.conf, 2.conf and 3.conf.

Checked all again but this code also didn't work me!


cp -r /usr/share/media /opt/
rm -r /usr/share/media

Error: no such file or directory

rolan900d | # 43 | 2010-02-20, 12:42 | Report

I have all that...
I think the issues are that the videos aren't being recognized in opt/media

Or the sym link isn't good?

I did symlink before from this thread!

Under point 5

wth ^^

sorry if i have to say that... but this manual is way too complicated...

i did following:
0. sudo gainroot
(get root-terminal)
1. cp -r /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media /opt/
(this should make /opt/media with the nokia hands video as content)
2. rm -r /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media
(this should remove the media folder from there)
3. cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome
(change the directory ^^)
4. ln -s /opt/media media
(symlinking /opt/media to /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media)

that should work
and you can place all of your additional videos in /opt/media/

On post 28 you had another string....

Will try this one...

NO, still no go....
I am afraid I am done with this for now....
Been busy for 2 hours to make it work...

Just noticed with MC that usr/share/hildon-welcome/media folder wasn't deleted

I saw this : 'wave symbol'media inside usr/share/hildon-welcome/

When I go in there I see this:

'wave symbol'media
and underneath the 7 avi files I also had in /opt/media

oooops...
you're right.. sorry for that..
(but you should have noticed the error because the command threw an error, didn't it?)
i'm only human... even i make mistakes... sometimes ^^

but thanks for pointing that out... i will edit the post before anybody else uses this...
(although it doesn't do anything at all xD)

I now have around 7 'wave symbol'media folder with 7 avi files inside usr/share/hildon-welcome/media

Some how it all is copied???

This also happened in /opt/media

Just deleted the media folder in usr/shar/hildon-welcome/media

and also the multiple ones in opt/media

Now none of the videos boot

ehm... you do know that you have to execute this commands as root, don't you?

so you have to type "sudo gainroot" first...
but you should have noticed that already. ^^
(from reading all along this thread)

i don't understand what you mean with:
"I now have around 7 'wave symbol'media folder with 7 avi files inside usr/share/hildon-welcome/media" ??? o.O

rolan900d | # 49 | 2010-02-20, 13:14 | Report

Yeah I know mate!

It looked like thsi:

In the /opt/media folder were the 7 avi files but also a 'wave symbol'media folder

Inside that 'wave symbol'media folder was the same and in there the same and so on...

Also this issue in etc/share/hildon-welcome/media

b666m | # 50 | 2010-02-20, 13:21 | Report

ok... start over again (i think the other manual did something wrong).

(1. make sure there is /opt/media/ with all your video-files inside.
check? check. ^^)
2. open xterm
3. type "sudo gainroot"
4. type "rm -r /opt/media/~media" (<- that's what you mean with 'wave symbol'media, right?)
5. type "ls /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media"

you shouldn't see the ~media folder anymore in /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media, right?
