hi,

i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to linux.

i need a system that when switched on will boot with a black screen, then play a short movie in fullscreen and loop it until the system is switched off.
in other words, there is no user interaction except switching the system on & off and the only thing to be seen on the display is the looped movie.

can anyone confirm this is possible with iMedia embedded linux?

thanks in advance,
filip

Yes it's possible. All you need is to edit /etc/X11/xinit/Xmanager and add for example on OPENBOX line:

xterm -e mplayer -loop 0 /home/x/movie.mpg (path might differ depending where you store your files).
