Anything I should be worried of?
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

(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.

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".

6) Going to BootScreen and the selected video not shown on the list

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"
