working ok now, could never get it to work before.

i can see the menu for about a second before it plays any way round that?

Matt
here's a minimal Startup.xml for Confluence that will delay the loading of the home screen by 1 second.
you can adjust the value (it's in milliseconds) of the delay to your own liking.

Code:
<window>
    <onload>PlayMedia(special://skin/introMovie.mov)</onload>
    <defaultcontrol always="true">10</defaultcontrol>
    <allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
    <controls>
        <control type="button" id="10">
            <onfocus>ReplaceWindow(Home)</onfocus>
            <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
            <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
            <animation effect="fade" delay="1000" end="100">Focus</animation>
        </control>
    </controls>
</window>

so i just replace my startup.xml with thisw one?

Thanks again

Matt

I am hoping that stoli will integrate this addon into neon and metropolis skin. Great work on this.

Hi All,

I'm embarrassed I can't get this to work. The standard startup is disabled but I can't get the movie to play at all. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

1) I added an intro movie here
/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Intro
2) Amended (confluence) startup.xml as below
<window>
<onload>PlayMedia(special://var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Intro/IntroMovie.mov)</onload>
<defaultcontrol always="true">10</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>
<controls>
<control type="button" id="10">
<onfocus>ReplaceWindow(Home)</onfocus>
<texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
<texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
<animation effect="fade" delay="1000" end="100">Focus</animation>
</control>
</controls>
</window>
3) Disabled the startup splash using the script from here

^ there's you problem.
you can't just make up special:// paths :-)

try with <onload>PlayMedia(/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Intro/IntroMovie.mov)</onload>
or <onload>PlayMedia(/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Intro/IntroMovie.mov)</onload>

Ronnie, you beat me to it.

Btw, I finished working on an iPhone game titled Dummy Defense (shameless plug. Everyone check it out. I created the art and someone else handled the programming). Anyway I've got some free time and will be creating some more intro vids.
