    Default How to Create your own Boot and Shutdown Logos

    Thanks to Fergy for the guide.

    ------------------

    Dimensions of boot, radio, mp3 and scan picture must to be 720x576 pixels in PAL format.
    Path where boot image are stored is /root/platform/kernel and named is bild
    Path where other pictures are stored is /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/pictures/
    Program what is usually used to make boot/background pictures is TMPGEnc ( in attachement is *.mcf template file what You can put into TMPGEnc's \Template folder )

    So little brief for using TMPGEnc without the template:

    #1 Download TMPGEnc from official site
    #2 Unzip the file to your chosen destination.
    #3 Double click the 'TPMGEnc.exe MPEG Encoder' file and click 'OK' on the small pop up window and then click 'Cancel' on the 'Project Wizard (1/5)' window that appears.
    #4 Next screen, bottom right...'Stream type', check the box 'ES (Video only)'.
    #5 Next, bottom left...'Video source:' click on 'Browse' and select the background/photo that you want as your new boot logo for the Dreambox.
    #6 Next, bottom left... 'Output file name:' click on browse and choose the path for your finished 'new' boot background/photo and edit the name to 'bild' (minus the '....' and in lower case) ie: the line that apperars in the 'Output file name:' should read similar to C:\Documents and Settings\Whatever\My Documents\bild ( the actual name of the photo does NOT appear).
    #7 Next, bottom right...click on 'Setting' and check that the value settings are:

    .....'Stream type:' = MPEG-1 Video
    .....'Size' = 720 x576 pixels
    .....'Aspect ratio:' = 1:1 (VGA)
    .....'Frame rate:' = 25 fps
    .....'Rate control mode:' = Constant bitrate (CBR)
    .....'Bitrate:' = 12000
    .....'Motion search precision:' = Normal

    When checked, click 'OK' to exit the screen.

    #8 Top left click 'Start', if all is goes well, the '100%' bar appears and your completed 'bild' file is to be found in your chosen 'Output...' location.

    Transferring the new 'boot' photo to the Dreambox.


    ENSURE that the image that you want to change the boot/radio background pictures for, is the image RUNNING in the Dreambox when editing.

    With the image, that you want to change the boot photo for, running in the Dreambox, open your chosen FTP prog and transfer your new 'bild' file to the path: 'root/platform/kernel', you can overwrite or delete the pevious 'bild' file that exists.

    Exit your FTP prog and reboot the Dreambox.

    You should, if all ok, see your new photo on the next boot.

    *** If You want to change boot picture before compressing image (after command make rebuild-flash ) , just copy it into /tuxbox-cvs/root/cdkflash/boot/root/platform/kernel before executing command make flash-compress.

    Dbox is easy compared to that, just use Logo viewer in the downloads section.

    What image do you have? There is no set rule with these things, depends on how the image creator has configured it at source.

    It is a image made by KGD team, is a spanish group making a fast dreambox image for dreambox 500, it is version 1 and has small failures that are going to be fixed in v2 and i am happy using it, but i would prefer to learn it internally but no info about lot of things, it uses tuxbox with enigma.

    I have just found that it is in

    /share/tuxbox/enigma/pictures/kgd.mvi

    not know how i can change it, can?t delete, can?t rename and can?t upload any file to that folder by ftp.

    any hint if it can be done by telnet etc?

    /share is a read only part of the image.

    You can still change it though.

    The files in /share/tuxbox/enigma can be mirrored in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma. The image will use any files in /var before it uses the files in /share.

    So if you create your own boot image, rename it to kgd.mvi and put it in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/pictures it should use that image.

    I think you need to use Tuxbox LogoViewer to create a .mvi image.

    It didn?t work uploading file to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/pictures/kgd.mvi

    I found that in /etc/init.d/rdS and /proc/1/cwd/etc/init.d

    there is a call to

    /bin/showlogo /share/tuxbox/enigma/pictures/kgd.mvi

    I can?t change files, is there any other way i can try to change it to the file

    /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/pictures/kgd.mvi i have uploaded?

    note: I am going to try your tutorial about creating a dm500 image, could be more interesting make one that learn to change other people made.

    Have a look in the rcS file, is there a line that says..

    Code:
    /var/etc/init
    If there is, does this line...

    Code:
     /bin/showlogo /share/tuxbox/enigma/pictures/kgd.mvi
    ...come before or after it?

    You won't be able to do overwrite it then.

    There is a way, I'll post up a guide soon. You would need a linux PC though, can't do it in windoze unless you use vmware.

    I change the file init to

    if [ -e /var/etc/.tuxmaild ]; then /var/bin/tuxmaild; fi
    /bin/showlogo /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/pictures/kgd.mvi

    then the previous image is shown for 1 second after that is shown the image i have uploaded.

    Not perfect thing but is better than nothing, i go to take a try to install linux on computer to try your tutorial about creating a image.

    Thanks for your help devilfish.

    Nice thinking. At least it's better than what you had.
