Hello all,

I am trying to show a different startup image, but I am not having any luck. Even though the image I am referencing exists, the default startup image is always displayed. Here is the code for my startup.xml:

xml:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<window>

    <defaultcontrol always="true">12</defaultcontrol>

    <onload condition="System.HasAddon(script.skin.info.service)">RunScript(script.skin.info.service)</onload>

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(Enable.TMDbHelper)">Skin.SetBool(TMDbHelper.Service)</onload>

    <onload condition="!Skin.HasSetting(Enable.TMDbHelper)">Skin.Reset(TMDbHelper.Service)</onload>

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(Enable.BlurredVideoInfo) + Skin.HasSetting(Enable.TMDbHelper)">Skin.SetBool(TMDbHelper.EnableBlur)</onload>

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(MatchPosterColors) + Skin.HasSetting(Enable.TMDbHelper)">Skin.SetBool(TMDbHelper.EnableColors)</onload>

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(MatchPosterColors) + Skin.HasSetting(Enable.TMDbHelper)">SetProperty(TMDbHelper.Colors.SourceImage,poster,Home)</onload>

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(MatchPosterColors) + Skin.HasSetting(Enable.TMDbHelper)">Skin.SetString(TMDbHelper.Colors.Luminance,0.75)</onload>

    <onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(MatchPosterColors) + Skin.HasSetting(Enable.TMDbHelper)">Skin.SetString(TMDbHelper.Colors.Saturation,0.75)</onload>

    

    <onload condition="System.HasAddon(script.artistslideshow)">RunScript(script.artistslideshow, daemon=True)</onload>

    <onload condition="String.IsEmpty(Skin.String(OSDExtraArt))">Skin.SetString(OSDExtraArt,none)</onload>

    

    <controls>

        

        <control type="image">

            <posx>0</posx>

            <posy>0</posy>

            <width>1920</width>

            <height>1080</height>

            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>

            <texture>special://skin/backgrounds/intro/default1.jpg</texture>

        </control>

        <control type="button" id="12">

            <include>HiddenButton</include>

            <onfocus condition="!Skin.HasSetting(StartupPlaylist)">PlayMedia($ESCINFO[Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)])</onfocus>

            <onfocus>ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow])</onfocus>

        </control>    

    </controls>

</window>

Perhaps one of you could point out what am I missing here? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bart

Just trying this on Silvo and I got a custom image to show by putting it below the last button , different skin of course but maybe try putting your image below button 12 ?
Also in silvo the "play intro" option is off by default so had to enable that.

Which startup image do you mean? If you mean the kodi startup image itself, imho this can't be changed by skin side. If you mean the startup-image, you have set in your startup.xml, just be sure to show startup.xml for a few seconds, before replacing window:

xml:
<control type="button" id="12">

    <include>HiddenButton</include>

    <onfocus condition="!Skin.HasSetting(StartupPlaylist)">PlayMedia($ESCINFO[Skin.String(StartupPlaylist)])</onfocus>

    <onfocus>AlarmClock(GoHome,ReplaceWindow($INFO[System.StartupWindow]),00:03,silent,false)</onfocus>

</control>

shows startup.xml (and the image special://skin/backgrounds/intro/default1.jpg) for 3 seconds, before replacing window.

This is originally from estuarymodv2 , works in amber I tested it , obviously you will need to change the 4x images and paths. but it will show a custom image.

@ontap , thank you for looking into this with different skins, I appreciate it! I will test and see how it goes.

@ontap , @beatmasterrs , thank you both for your help. Putting the images after the button, and adding a delay before going to the home window did the trick. This is what my final startup.xml looks like now, in case you or anyone else finds it useful:

xml:
