ksherfinski Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also have more than one video and BB will use a random one.

ksherfinski Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should only be interrupted if you press a button to skip them, otherwise they should play to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
