Invoking a splash screen on shutdown

catkinso · 30 August 2015 21:03

Within raspbmc the following would allow invocation of a custom shutdown splash screen:

/usr/sbin/ply-image /home/logo/splash.png

Is there a simple method to achieve the same within OSMC?

thanks in acvance

We still use ply-image. Try /usr/bin/ply-image now

Keep in mind that OSMC shuts down very quickly and when shutdown is complete HDMI output is switched off. (At least on Pi 1/2)

So you might only see your image for a second or two before the screen goes blank due to no signal.

Hi thanks for the tip, this was all I needed.

I am actually using it to invoke a custom screen when I want to recover the build back to an earlier point in time (I take a zip on demand of /home osmc)

actually weirdly when i do this it simply invokes the original splash screen, is the original splash screen hard coded? I tried doing

 /usr/bin/ply-image /home/osmc/logo/updating.png

It’s sort of hard coded, yes. It’s actually expecting an exit (return code) from Kodi, and using that value to decide whether to display the normal splash or a sad face:

github.com

osmc/osmc/blob/master/package/mediacenter-osmc/patches/rbp2-watchdog#L88


      
                  err=$(apt-get -qq update); if [ -n "$err" ]
                  then
                          dialog --backtitle "Package configuration" --title "OSMC Update" --infobox "The following errors occured while searching for new packages:\n\n${err}\n\nContinuing in 20 seconds..." 0 0 > /dev/tty1
                          sleep 20
                  fi
                  systemctl start manual-update
                  exit 0
                  ;;
          esac
          
          
if [ ! -e /var/run/fb_resolution ]; then
          	/bin/fbset | grep geometry | awk '{print "-xres "$2" -yres "$3" -vxres "$4" -vyres "$5}' > /var/run/fb_resolution
          fi
          
          
if [ $root_space -lt 100 ]; then
          	set_font
          	dialog --infobox "\n            WARNING! Free disk space remaining is only ${root_space}MB.\n\nKodi will be unable to start if disk space is completely exhausted. Please free sufficient disk space as soon as possible. Continuing in 10 seconds..." 8 80 > /dev/tty1
          	sleep 10
          fi
          
          
while true; do

There isn’t a way at the moment to specify a custom image file location.

It would be quite simple to allow this. Just pass it as an argument, check argc and pass the argv if it exists.
