I like the idea. Better than the static logo. But only 2-3 seconds?
Although don´t know that of the x-box.

anyway, can't you just install mplayer and make a batch file that starts the movie and after this launch Mediaportal?

Yes, works rather well too. However, it does slow down the starting of the program quite considerably. Not sure with MediaPortal, but using ShowShifter, if you try to launch SS when something else is using the overlay, it don't like it much. So you end up running the intro, shutting down mplayer, then launching the HTPC app.

Something tells me MediaPortal would be the same way. So what you end up with is a 5 second intro, it closes down, then MediaPortal runs, takes it's time to launch, and now you are in.

Begs the question, is it really worth waiting an extra 5- 8 seconds just to see the same animation screen everytime you launch the program?

Green blob?

Anyway, I was thinking an intro that runs for 12-15 minutes that you can't exit....

LOL, I bet you were the kind of guy to send a 10meg email to a friend on a dial-up connection just knowing he would be lambasting you as he waits 4 hours for the email to download....

His email would be jammed up until he downloaded the entire thing, and that was the day before web based email so he had no choice but to wait and download it.....

In that case make it REALLY annoying by adding a 12-15minute trailer when you DO exit MP telling you how wonderful it is, what a shame it is to exit the program, a list of the programmers and a list of the upcoming features :lol:
