Help needed to disable startup splash and replace with video. - brokentechie - 2016-01-05

Hi,

I have tried the advanced.xml to disable the splash screen but no dice! I wish to play a startup video instead - can anyone help me please?

TY

Settings > Skin Settings > Startup > Startup Screen Type set to Video and select the path to your video.

Thank you! Didn't know if I had to disable the splash, then add the relevant scripting into the startup.xml Smile

I have tried this. I am on Jarvis and when I follow the instructions I still get the splash screen. My intro video is also stuttering about halfway through. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Similar issue. Kodi screen starts first then nebula then my video intro. I have set the time to 0 and the time only seems to control the nebula screen intro. At 0 it pops up then goes away and starts video. Video runs fine. Any thoughts on completely disabling the kodi and nebula screan?

Are you having the same issues that I am?

Yes. I don't think you can disable the splash screen. I sacked off using nebula for this reason

I simply just renamed my splash png to splash2 . By doing this, it will stop the splash png from showing.

You can disable the splash, it's just you need to go to the correct xml.....(which could be startup xml) and hide or delete the script.

In the latest revision i've added a new option to disable the default startup logo. Using this option together with 0 seconds as startup delay, lets you start the skin directly to a custom video without delay.

Video stuttering simply occurs because your device is low powered. In fact you have to remember that during the playback of your custom video, the cpu of your device is busy initializing Kodi and on low powered devices, video stuttering may occur.

Tgx - Thanks for all of your hard work developing this skin. I am running Krypton 17.1 and have done your recommended steps. I still get the kodi splash, Nebula then my video. I have a good android box and have no problem with my 5 sec intro video. Even when I set it to 0, I still get the full kodi 17.1, Nebula flash (less than a second) then mine. It's not a huge deal, just something that I'd like to change. I only use for my family's personal use. The intro was made by my daughter. We actually use Kodi as it was intended. I know this isn't the correct forum topic, however, id love to be able to add auto completion to your skin. Is there an update that will include this or could you share how I could make this compatible. Again thank you for all you do. We love your skin!

This won't work with the latest official skin release.
It will work with the Krypton version on Github :

I'll try to include autocompletion for the next official release.
