Glad to help out...

Did You try to play the .avi file in Media Player?

sic, i dont have a boot vid, but seriously considering thins one, nice job

personally, though, i think it would be even better without the grid pattern.....

Thanks, I'm using this one now. Very nice indeed.

Edit: As an aside for anyone else wnating to use this. make sure you change the downloaded vid to a name that has no spaces in it. Other wise the conf file wont recognize it on boot, and you'll just go straight to the desktop (which some would consider a good thing).

Nice work!

I love this boot video! It's short and it's hot! I will use it when my N900 arrives!

ok guys im really sorry bout this, im not any good with any of this codes but hell i would want to change my welcome video.


but it said "not found"

what i did was i downloaded this extremely short but awesome video and renamed it to maemo2.avi and copied it to the documents folder in my nokia n900.

i also downloaded the default.conf and copied it to documents folder in nokia.

1st i typed:
sudo gainroot

which was accepted.

2nd i typed:
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/default.conf /etc/hildon-welcome.d/


which gave me a response of "not found"


uhhh..help me? im on a dead end here. (for me)


please send me a private message.
would really appreciate that.

i think mv is a little bit *****y on the n900. encountered some problem there too.
you may want to try "cp" instead and delete the files afterwards to free space.

Theme Marina + this boot video = perfect combination!!!!

Hi All,

Would it be possible to change the heading of this thread to begin with [boot video] like the other threads that contain boot videos, makes searching easier.

To the OP thanks a mill this is brilliant :-)

to others trying to make the changes

Here is what I did:
(please note I had to use cp for default.conf as mv would not work) also (please note tha tI change my video name to myboot.avi, meaning that the conf file needs to have myboot in it.)

sudo gainroot
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/default.conf /etc/hildon-welcome.d/
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/myboot.avi /opt/
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/
ln -s /opt/myboot.avi myboot.avi

I have also found out that you can have multiple boot videos playing after each other , the system will run the conf files in alphabetic order :-)

I hope this helps others.

Thanks
Chris

I agree. Sorry for naming.
For a Moderator - can you please change the name of the thread to:
"[Boot Video] really short one - Vanishing"

Thanks.
