Can't figure out how to add a bigbox startup video to Nostalgia theme

[thedistrict]

Hi, 

I'm trying to add a startup video to the Nostalgia theme. The only tutorials I can find say its as easy as naming a file startup.mp4  and throwing it in the videos folder... But that does not work for me.  Does Nostalgia not allow for start up videos? Or does it reference a different folder/name?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks!

For startup videos just create a folder called startup in your Launchbox/Videos folder and drop any videos in there, they are not theme dependant, as long as you have it in the correct folder it will work with any theme.

Ah, its the folder that is named startup.  I was naming the file.  Thank you for the tip! Works great now.

It used to be the file that was named that, but that was a long long time ago. You can now drop any video with any name into the "startup" folder and a random one will play each time.
