Anything I should be worried of?
:confused:
As I said I made this app in a couple of hours, so expect bugs, but I made sure that the app doesn't harm the system at least.

as i can see you are using the current time as qrand()-seed... looks like we had the same idea xD
Well, do you have any better and faster seed :D

(if not that would be a suggestion worth implementing ^^)
There's a non-gui class that runs on boot and updates the file.

It shows a selection but not the one that will be played, since the script is updated before the boot player starts(start on XSESSIONS_STARTING).

Will test it VDVsx

Suggestion:

1. Add the option to look in /opt/media
For what ? It looks at /MyDocs that is the easier place to copy media, and then copy the files to /opt/bootscreen/media since /MyDocs can't be accessed on boot.

haven't seen all of my 7 videos in there but they switch.
i notived a 0.conf file is being made every single boot.

Problem is that with random option you have 2 single select all the files.
Maybe add the option 'content of folder add'?
Humm ? Can you explain that better ?

It looks at /opt/bootscreen/media and choses a file from there.

If I select 2 videos and boot nothing happens??
Didn't noticed any issue with that, can you please check the files under /etc/hildon-welcome.d/ after close the bootscreen app.

Extras-devel repository, you probably installed some libs via apt-get so now there's some conflict.

As root: "apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-maemo5".

5) No bootvideo shown
6) Going to BootScreen and the selected video not shown on the list
7) Trying to add again gives error: "Error: the file already exists!"
Humm, did you had some custom files already ?
Can you check if the video is under /opt/bootscreen/media ?

No need to move the video to the top if there's only one selected.

Yes, I had one custom boot video already. The media can be found at /opt/bootscreen/media correctly.

Select the hands video, reboot and that should be fixed, unless there's some permissions mess in the system.

Yeah, Qt 4.6 packages are a bit messy at the moment, but since PR1.2 is coming and Qt 4.6 will be installed by default I've to use these :).

As root: "apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-gui"

I see now...
So I just put videos in MyDocs/Bootvideos (example)

And your app moves or copies them to /opt/bootscreen/media

???

I just checked and only a o.conf file in there..
Which states the movie that was just played

1 - Open bootscreen app;

3 - Close the app;
4 - Check /etc/hildon-welcome.d/

Thanks.

This helped to get the video showing in bootscreen, but it was still not played during the bootup. I removed whitespaces from the filename and now it works.

Humm, interesting, so you had something like that: "my video.avi" ?
Probably some limitation of the boot player, have to check that.

Thanks for the diagnostic :).

Cheers mate it works.

I cleaned the 7 files I had added in there.
Choose 2 ones, closed app and checked etc/hildon-welcome.d/

Nothing was in there...

Probably you changed the folder permissions and now the app can't write there, please run the app as root (/usr/bin/bootscreen) following the steps above and pastebin the output here.

Yes, same thing as expected, but without the app output I can't help you.

What do you mean with output?

Sorry 4 not understanding

rolan900d 2010-02-22 19:34
Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 
After closing it I see this in root Xterminal:

"/opt/bootscreen/media/Matrix.avi"
"/opt/bootscreen/media/Matrix2.avi"

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, since I can't reproduce it in my device(works as expected).

rolan900d 2010-02-22 19:37

That it is was is stated above

"/opt/bootscreen/media/Matrix2.avi"
After that the app should print something like this:

Code:
"true  : "0.conf"
"true  : "1.conf"

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

"/etc/hildon-welcome.d/1.conf""
depending in the number of videos that you had there.

rolan900d 2010-02-22 19:43
Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 
Nothing like that...

Just the 2 videos are stated which I choose...

Can't I reset the folders in MC ?
maybe it is because I have symlink folder with the manual version of multiple videos or random play?

These conf are written when I choose random play.
0.conf that is..

BUt nothing happens on multiple...
Should I try to uninstall, boot and reinstall?

You can delete the symlinks, but careful with that, you probably changed the folder permissions as well, that's far from a good practice, can even brick your device, luckily this folder is not crucial for the system.

I've these permissions:

Code:
Nokia-N900-51-1:/etc# ls -la hildon-welcome.d/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root          224 Feb 22 19:43 .
drwxr-xr-x  77 root    root        8192 Feb 22 19:35 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root          77 Feb 22 19:43 0.conf
If you don't feel confident in change these things, send me a pm that I'll send you a binary of the app with all debug symbols in order to easily find the problem.

Ah, so is not a permissions problem, since the code is the same, are you sure that two or more videos are selected ?

rolan900d 2010-02-22 20:00
Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 
I am a stupid ***!
Sorry, I thought that selecting was adding them in the list...
BUt now I saw selecting is making them blue!

All is good now...

Excuse me again

These are the Qt libs, but are also optified.

You've a previous version of Qt 4.6 that has a bug, you can wait for PR1.2 or update the lib via terminal, in order to fix that. (remember SW in extras-devel can be unstable and buggy)

As root: apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-gui

Are you using the "multiple" option ?
Does your video has spaces in the name ? (like video 1.avi)
Can you please paste the output of the app here ?

As root: /usr/bin/bootscreen and copy the lines printed in the terminal.

I'll redesign the UI a bit, seems that most of the problems(all ?) aren't in the app itself but in the way the users interact with it, so expect a update around next weekend :).

tangs 2010-02-23 14:25
Re: [Under consideration] Set bootscreen video... Easier.
 
So,
- yes, i'm using "multiple" option
- there is no space in the name : n900extremelyshort.avi
- the line is : /opt/bootscreen/media/n900extremelyshort.avi

something wrong doctor ?
