I was thinking about this some more and I wonder if something like this wouldn't be a fool proof way to execute this. This should also get rid of the xbmc loading box that pops up for like a millisecond showing that it is rendering the movie from home.xml.

Would it work to set up a batch file to load and play the intro movie, then a wait command for the duration of the movie, then a command to load xbmc? Of course you will still want to disable the splash screen in advancedsettings.xml so that you load directly into Home screen when xbmc loads.

I'm currently set up to auto boot into XBMC as a shell but I don't believe that's even necessary for me as I'm running on an SSD so boot times are fine without doing this.

Would someone with the knowledge on batch files mind tossing together the lines that would be necessary to achieve this?

Somethings like -

start intro movie
command for wait (8 seconds) or whatever the into movie duration is
start xbmc
