Probably been asked before but has anyone done a Kodi plymouth theme ?

[un1versal]

Unlikely, there isn't even an official logo artwork to put in there. I heard a rumour after the 11/12 Of October the logo portion will be announced and then its up to whoever manages the existing code to update it the Plymouth splash, which will unlikely take place in the official side before Kodi v14 is shipped in the Kodibuntu.

In any case I haven't heard of any unofficial Plymouth related jobs + kodi..

[luna_s]

Thought so, using latest nightly - everything says kodi except for the splash

The bootsplash will be available some time soon. Watch this space.

Please test the below.

Important: This is nothing official at all - I was just bored of my Intel system constantly crashing :-) for exactly 2 minutes.

Code:

mkdir pls
cd pls

sudo dpkg -i *deb

Build for trusty without any intention to make a nice artwork - just shown how it can be done. PR is welcome to: https://github.com/xbmc/XBMCbuntu/tree/m...buntu-logo

Nice, thanks Deeedubb!

Does this replace the XBMCBuntu splash screen?

Yes

Great that it will get rid of the last trace of XBMC

I tried KODIbuntu on a different machine, it has a sweet animated logo. Is it possible to update XBMCbuntu with the same boot animation? Although I wonder if my NUC would even have time to display it since it boots so fast.

The new animated version of this is in GitHub.
I downloaded it today and compiled it for replacing on my xbmcbuntu.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/udso4dhckjasfs...l.deb?dl=0

Code:

# sudo dpkg -i plymouth-theme-kodibuntu-animated-logo_0.45-1_all.deb

Now I had an issue installing this, errors about

grep: /boot/config-3.14.2-amdfixes5+: No such file or directory
WARNING: missing /lib/modules/3.14.2-amdfixes5+
Device driver support needs thus be built-in linux image!
depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.14.2-amdfixes5+: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory

depmod: WARNING: could not open /tmp/mkinitramfs_RVN51c/lib/modules/3.14.2-amdfixes5+/modules.builtin: No such file or directory

Which caused my Plymouth updates only to work on shutdown not boot up. I think I came from installing the earlier packages posted above, not sure.

I ran this to correct

Code:

# sudo update-initramfs -d -k 3.14.2-amdfixes5+

update-initramfs: Deleting /boot/initrd.img-3.14.2-amdfixes5+

Code:

# sudo update-initramfs -u

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic

Then the animated boot up and shutdown worked perfectly.
