Mintypi startup video

[Wailer]

Edit: I probably should have posted this in the mintypi help forum, sorry for that

A quick question, is it possible to replace/edit/disable the mintypi/sudomod video that plays at startup.
When i enable the splash screen through the splash menu i get two videos playing at the same time, the one i choose myself and the mintypi one (sometimes even locking up the boot).

Nevermind figured it out myself, it is in the /home/pi/mintyPi/minty-startup.sh script

Code: Select all

sleep 5s
omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 "/home/pi/mintyPi/minty-splash.mp4" &
sleep 25s
sudo pkill omxplayer

What did you write into this file to deactivate the video?

You can remove this lines in the script:

Code: Select all

sleep 5s
omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 "/home/pi/mintyPi/minty-splash.mp4" &
sleep 25s
sudo pkill omxplayer

Or better comment them out:

Code: Select all

#sleep 5s
#omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 "/home/pi/mintyPi/minty-splash.mp4" &
#sleep 25s
#sudo pkill omxplayer

I have found out (the hard way) that setting a splash screen through the standard setting screen sometimes makes the pi "hang" after playing the splash.
Can it be because i have not attached my soundcard yet?
Maybe somebody can explain why the mintpi splash runs through a seperate script? (hopefully you're the first one who responded to my question )

You could also use this script to set a splash screen, just edit this line:

Code: Select all

omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 "/home/pi/mintyPi/minty-splash.mp4" &

Change the path to another mp4 file installed on your sd card.
