I just deleted an April Te3h build and installed 5.13.06. I am now starting up with the "original" splash screen and my startup wav does not play. I want to know where I can update the splash logo and where to control the startup wav. Thanks

it would be a good option if you could pick a different splash and startup wav from the options like you can different themes and menu clicks ..

for now you can ftp into your xbox and they are located in the media folder of your xbmc directory..

the splash logos are in-cluded in the Media directory, there are 3 and you can actually make any image the splash image. someone else will have to explain the startup sound, i don't have the details on how it works other than i know they added a Startup.xml feature to the skin engine, which is optional. basically it allows a skin maker to make their own custom intro sequence, with sound, graphics, whatever.

I've seen the png's in the media folder. In my backup files there are all three in there too. I suppose I could try deleting the ones I dont want and see where that goes. Probally right about it being the skinners choice. The last build I had didn't have the 2.0 skin in it, maybe thats why it changed. Still hope to hear about the intro wav. It's not necessary but a comforting sound, and strange to not hear it.

find PDM skin, it has an example of startup.xml with startup.wav in sounds.xml.

Well, I changed the splash_PM3.png to splash.png (which is the one that was loading) and now the correct one (one I want) is loading.

just for kicks & giggles, here is the code from PDM's Startup.xml (found in either PAL or PAL16x9, depending on if you are using widescreen or not).

i'm curious, how would you code the usage of a startup sound?

Grand Theft XboX · « **Reply #7 on:** May 23, 2006, 11:50:00 AM »

Last night I found some scripts here: http://xbmc.evo-x.de/script.html. There was was a script for a startup sound but it didn't work for me. Dont know if I was doing the right thing as it was a python script. I'm somwhat new to coding xml and can't say I would know where I would or how I would code the startup. i was expecting it would have been in sounds.xml or the startup.xml.

Right now I'm running 720i, I'm capable of 1080i but I don't like how slow the skin runs on it. Trust me, I think I've looked through every xml in the XBMC folder and can't find anything. I run OSX 10.4 and used spotlight to search through all files in my backup XBMC folder and it cant find any trace of "start.wav" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I think maybe later I may update to the 5.21.06 build and see what happens. I run xbmc as my dash and just a bit nervous about updating since they have changed the way you use it as a dash. I just haven't found a conveinent way to update without having to go through and re-setup all of my smb settings and movie thumbs and whatnot, not that it's a big deal, just annoying.

Thanks for the input slumb

By the way, how do you post the code as you have?

I uploaded the necessary files to enable the startup.wav. Just copy/overwrite files to your XBMC directory.
