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?

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 ;)

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
Hi Guys,

I'm having problems with installing certain applications, with conflicts. I tried to install bootscreen, but it wouldn't install because of the conflicts. So I read this post, and as root installed (apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-gui) and now I can't update when I check for updates, it seems to get stuck, and it won't let me install any packages. How can I completely remove all libqt4-maemo5 packages, (if that's the right term.) I'm a Ubuntu user, and have used terminal before, but I'm no expert. Please help me fix my n900!

Is there any way to install maemo 5 fresh, like when I bought the device, maybe that's the best move?

Cheers. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. It's doing my head in!

Remove Qt 4.6 package: apt-get remove libqt4-maemo5-*
AFAIK the only way to do a factory reset is flashing the device and the eMMC[1]

Features:

Multiples videos on boot;
Random video on boot;

Don't expect fancy graphics :). anyone willing to contribute with a app icon please step in.

Didn't had time to look at the control panel applet code, so is a standalone app for now.

Post here any problems/bug/suggestions.

Note: The 'boot player' suffers hiccups with some video encodings and also if you add more than 3 consecutive videos(a bit insane), but these aren't my fault :D
downloaded the app and not showing on my apps .??

You need Qt4.6, you can try to install the package manually or wait for PR1.2, seems that there's a package conflict in your system.

So it's not possible to disable the hands animation through Bootscreen Manager. What if I just delete the file from xterm? Will it cause any problems? Can't stand the hands animation... =)

Yes, it's possible, just deselect the hands video, but you can't remove it from the system using the BootScreen app.

Does the boot video have to be an avi? I've recorded some short clips on my N900 but when browsing for them using the bootScreen app it doesn't pick them up?

If the answer is yes, then my next question is. Is there an avi converter app for the N900 or will I need to use my PC?

Yes, I add a filter to show only .avi files, I'm not sure if the boot player reads other video formats, I think so, but I've to test :)
