Howto:change dream800 bootlogo

    • Official Post

    sometimes we like the image but we do not like the image bootlogo
    we can easily change the bootlogo by one personal or any other logo


    dm800 and generally enigma2 boxes have 6 logos
    1-Initial bootlogo : this one appears immediately at initial reboot and lasting about 40 seconds and before appearance of meoboot or barry allen menu
    the file responsible for this is boot/bootlogo.jpg
    2-The logo appears after the initial bootlogo and lasting depend upon the image from 1-3 minutes and the file responsible for this logo /usr/share/bootlogo.mvi
    3-this logo follows the second one and called bootlogo_wait and located in usr/share/bootlogo_wait.mvi
    4-Logo appear as background for the image and appear when restart enigma and called /usr/share/backdrop.mvi
    5-usr/share/radio.mvi appears when playing radio channels
    6-usr/share/switchoff.mvi appears when shutdown the dream


    all these logos can be changed with what we like easily
    first logo bootlogo.jpg can be replaced by any pc picture with extension jpg and importantly dimensions should be 1280*720 pixels
    and copy this pc picture by dcc or any ftp program to folder /boot in dreambox
    adjustment in dimension can be done by the defualt windows program paint brush or if you want dimension adjustment with adding effects,texts or other to the picture you can use fantastic software snagit


    other bootlogos are special video files with extension mvi
    we can convert any pc image to mvi by the software called Dream Logo Generator_Dreambox 800/8000 and again importantly the image should be 1280*720 pixels before conversion to mvi
    after conversion of your images to mvi transfer these mvi files by dcc or any ftp program to folder usr/share/ and replace the existing file by yours


    To view mvi files in pc use windows media classic in win xp enviroment or windows media player in win 7
