Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 

When you run an application in a terminal, the application usually prints some messages to the terminal, that's the application output/debug, I need these messages in order to debug your problem.

In a terminal as root:

1 - /usr/bin/bootscreen
2 - Select a video in the bootscreen app
3 - Close the app and copy the lines printed in the terminal.

ok, i did it :

home/user # /usr/bin/bootscreen
"/etc/hildon-welcome.d/1.conf"

QVariant(QString, "/opt/bootscreen/media/n900extremelyshort.avi")

"/opt/bootscreen/media/n900extremelyshort.avi"

true : "1.conf"

"/etc/hildon-welcome.d/0.conf"

Ok, everything seems ok, try to reboot and see what happens, unless your video has some encoding that the 'boot player' doesn't support, the video should be played.

Yay! got to install. thanks VDVsx. I found the same thing as tangs tho, but once i opened up, and closed a couple of times, and move the other one i added up, it finally worked. will have a play now.

would be nice to have a 'confirm' button, so you select a video and then confirm. as i had no idea if it had worked to start with.

cool app tho dude. keep it up ;)

it doesnt let u remove the original does it?

Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 

No :p, that's intentional ;)

Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 

Don't know why, but right now it's simply working fine... well, you've got a new happy fan ;)

Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 

VDVsx does this app allow only one boot vid to be used on boot? thanx

Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 

No, you can select several in the "multiple" option, please notice that normally from third onwards the "boot player" suffers hiccups, at least here. Wasn't designed for that, I guess ;)
