    Yes. Go into menu/plugins/green button/bootlogos. Choose one. Then restart GUI.

    Or, if you want your own logo, drop a bootlogo.mvi and/or backdrop.mvi into /etc/enimga2.


    bootlogo.mvi is the one which comes first (usually says "Loading Please wait") and backdrop.mvi then replaces it (and is usually the same image, but without the text).

    What program I must use to see the mvi files and convert to this format? I would like to put my own design!
    Thanks in advance.

    Since I use Linux I use avconv. I found this from:
    Code:
    http://forums.openpli.org/topic/21033-create-file-in-mvi-format-for-boot-logo/
    which uses ffmpeg (avconv is a follow-on from that).
    NOTE that you do have to create it as a *.m1v file, then rename it to *.mvi.

    If you have an MS Windows system you could try this:
    Code:
    http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_8384962_convert-jpeg-mvi.html
    From what I can gather this file type is actual a movie format (rather than an image one) but has no audio capability.

    [I also have in mind that the displayer is supposed to stop on the last frame and continue to display it. I have no idea whether any of the OpenVix hardware can actually handle this (I seem to recall trying it on my MB Twin and it failing) rather than just having a single frame - it's quite possible that this was just made up in my mind.]

    If you want to see what it looks like on your actual box+TV combination, login to it and run:
    Code:
    /usr/bin/showiframe {pathname-of-your-mvi-file}
    To get rid of it again, change the channel.

    Hi @birdman,
    I have a bootlogo I like, but want to modify the picture slightly. Basically remove some text from the bottom right hand side, but can't open the mvi to do this?

    Remember - a *.mvi file is actually a movie file, not an image. So the first ting you'd need to do is extract the image (the last - probably the only - frame). Then you would need to use an image editing tool to modify the image. The "text" is not text that can be removed as text - it's just pixels in an image that looks like characters.

    bootlogos often come in pairs - a bootlogo.mvi file that contains the text and a backdrop.mvi file which doesn't (and gets displayed later in the boot process). Is there a backdrop version of the image you like?

    Yeah I fully understand that, but how do I extract the images?

    On Linux I'd use avconv, or Imagemagick's convert:
    Code:
    convert {input-mvi-filename} convert-output.jpg
    
    ln -s {input-mvi-filename} {input-m1v-filename}
    avconv {input-m1v-filename} avconv-output.jpg
    You can get ImageMagick for MS Windows.

    Highly offensive to boot-logo creators. Option to easily change boot-logos also in the plug-in feeds.
