XBMC Intro Movie

DigitALL · 2012-06-29 18:05

Hi guys,

Here are another 8 intro XBMC movies (.mov) that I made. All movies are small in size, with FX sounds and a 1280x720 res.

Hi fmronan,

Can you share the template you used please?

I'm using Transparency as my skin, and went for method 2 by amending advanced settings.xml and the home.xml files. I can get it to play a specific video by naming the file, such as c:\videos\xbmcintromovie.mov but is there a way I can get it to play 1 of 6 random videos in that directory instead?

You don;t have to change anything, just install the "xbmc intro movie" addon and you are all set. Then just add as many movies as you like to play in random mode.

These are very nice. I'm guessing you did this with AfterEffects? If so would you mind pm-ing me with the template files? I would like to change the font to the XBMC font. I can also add these to the first post if you like (of course, giving you credit).

Hmmm...nope, that didn't work.

I can see the 'XBMC Intro Movie' in my list of add-ons, and when I hit <ENTER> on it, I see an intro movie. I can hit 'C' to go into settings and change the variables, but when I exit and go back into XBMC, I don't get any intro movies.

The skin must support the addon. Try Aeon Nox 3.1 and see if it works (for testing purposes).

stigdu · 2012-07-04 18:36

Hi htpc guy - yes, that works in Aeon Nox - must be a skin issue then. Thanks!

DigitALL · 2012-07-10 21:09

htpc guy,

Surely you could post them in the 1st post. I have tons of AE templates and in one afternoon I have selected about 7 templates. The movies depicted are just rendering fragments from the entire template but what is nice is that someone could upload their movies, pics, graph's to appear more personalized. However, my movies are very short with a decent res exactly to load quickly when xbmc starts. For instance if someone would make a complete template in full HD it will have more than one GB, so image the time is will take to load it.

Anyway, I will shortly provide the links with the selected uploaded templates. I believe that it is around 1.5Gb of data. Each one has a flv footage to see how it looks complete.

My question was to fmronan or anyone who would know where to find a template with 20th century fox or similar.
