does it matter where it goes in the startup.xml?

yes, put it on the second line, right below <window>,
so it's started before anything else.

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>

That link is a youtube "ripper:, it will grab the video file off the link that was in http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1036085 which you said you wanted to get.

Or if you have the video then what bit are you stuck at? The instructions seem pretty straight forward but where have you got to so far?

Just a quick side note is stuff like that allowed from a your stealing stuff of youtube/privacy point of view?

Set Up
Raspberry Pi running Raspbmc - XBMC 12.2

Depends on the system you are using. Also it might it might not exist yet as it is a user created file:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Use...ttings.xml might be a good place to have a read for more info on it.
