I’m running LB/BB 12.0 and can’t find the setting to delay the launching of bigbox, for longish startup videos.  It used to be in the options menu.  Can this be set in an xml or I I file?

This was removed years ago. BigBox now plays startup videos in its entirety before going into the BB UI. You can also have more than one video and BB will use a random one.

Version 7.12 - Released October 27, 2017

  • New Premium Feature: Big Box Startup videos have been overhauled to be run from within Big Box instead of launching VLC directly; videos will now automatically run for the full length of the video unless skipped with a key or button press

Weird.  I created the startup folder and dropped the videos in there, but they are interrupted/truncated after by BB startup.  Are there other dependencies for this functionality?

They should only be interrupted if you press a button to skip them, otherwise they should play to the end.

None. Just create the \Startups folder and drop your video files in there. I have videos ranging from 20 seconds to over a minute. I am not sure if this will have an affect but in the BB settings try changing your video from VLC to Windows Media (or vice versa) and see what happens. I do not remember if Startups use the option listed there or if it uses VLC regardless.
