Boot video instead of animation

[Justsomeone]

Hi there

I got myself a H96 max to play around with and that is what I have been doing since.

What I am trying to do is have a boot video instead of the bootanimation. I have searched around but cannot find anything for the RK3328.

I have seen that the build.prop needs to have this


service.bootvideo=1


which is not on my buil.prop so I have added it and added an MP4 video named bootvideo to system/etc/

But it's not working for me.

I also noticed that I might need bootplayer which I have added in the system bin file.

I also added this to the RK3328.rc file

service bootvideo /system/bin/bootplayer /system/etc/bootvideo

class main

user root

group system

disabled

oneshot


??
And it's still not working lol

Any help would be great.

Hi ,

i think you can add it to the internal System media Folder , but not sure

if you have to add someting more , maybe someone else knows more ,

You mean where boot animation.zip is located??

If I have pointed it to the /system/etc surely it would pick it up.

I am surprised that this hasn't been discussed more. I thought having a boot video would of been something talked about more. I just wanted to have a short video of us as a family on boot up. Bit stupid I know but that's how bored I can get lol.

I see it works on the amlogic boxes not quite sure why it doesn't work on this particular box.

Hopefully someone else has already done it and can share that info.

I appreciate your reply

It must be named bootanimation.ts and placed in system/media with rw/r/r permission.
Remove the bootanimation.zip then.
Video codec used can be mpeg4 or ts.
Only works on Android Oreo/Pie/Q.

Add to your build.prop
persist.sys.bootvideo.enable=true
persist.sys.bootvideo.showtime=-2
