Hey everyone. I have made a custom loading splash screen for OAP. Please check and let me know in comments how this looks.

Hi All,
And thank you hpetersen for sharing and starting this thread. This has really helped to add an additional layer of personalization to my installation. I just wanted to share with those who dont know how to make the video, or are asking others to make the video, because at least for me most of the enjoyment is doing myself. I'm new to all the Raspberry Pi stuff and have barely been learning about this stuff for about a year now, and this is really easy!

Help!!!
I'm new to Raspberry Pi (Pi4) and OpenAuto Pro - just purchased. I thought I'd have a go at creating my own animation for the boot so made an MP4 (about 20 seconds long) and converted it to .h264. I looked at the instructions to amend the animation;- Edit the service file "sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/openautopro.splash.service" Change enviroment variable to match the name of the .h264 file e.g. "Environment="OPENAUTO_SPLASH_VIDEOS=/usr/share/openautopro/audi_splash.h264" In my Environment statement, there were 2 splash files so I copied my animation to make a duplicate as I didn't know what the 2 animations were for. I changed the statement to Environment="OPENAUTO_SPLASH_VIDEOS=/home/pi/Python-Projects/Car_splash.h264:/home/pi/Python-Projects/Car_splash2.h264" I then rebooted the Pi4 and after a few seconds my animation started showing - GREAT! but now it is just stuck there on the final bit of the animation (nothing changing). I don't know how to get out of it or what I did wrong! Any advice? Many thanks. Michael
OPENAUTO_SPLASH_VIDEOS variable stores list of h264 files (separated by : ) that will be played one by one during boot. Last file on the list will be looped until boot is finished. You do not need to follow the approach with animation splitted to many h264 files - you can create one h264 file long enough to cover whole boot time.

I can't seem to download the template anymore, I would love a custom animation for Chrysler on the official raspberry pi screen, thanks
I used the templates from the linked XDA forum earlier in the thread.
Chose one of the VW ones, created a project in Final Cut Pro, and set it to play back at 24FPS and 800x480 resolution (RPi Touchscreen), pasted the pictures in and set length to 1 frame for each and exported as video. The "Still" part didn't have quite the correct color on the text, so I just grabbed the last frame from the "main" splash video, and set length to 1 second and exported the second splash. That way when the animation quits, it will "hang" on the last fram until loaded. This particular splash has two animations though. After setting a password on the OpenAuto RPi, I used SCP to transfer the splash-videos to the home catalog of the pi-user, then issued a command based from the first post: "ffmpeg -i vw_splash.mov -an -vcodec libx264 -crf 23 splash1.h264" "ffmpeg -i vw_splash_still.mov -an -vcodec libx264 -crf 23 splash2.h264" I then copied them to /usr/share/openautopro (after renaming the original ones to splash1.h264.bak and splash2.h264.bak).

Hey guys, new to the forums, but I've been trying for a week and a half setting up my splash screen. Ive been trying all methods discussed here. Found a cool .gif for the Mazda and Ive converted it, turned it into frames just to turn it back into a video and convert that into .h264 and it won't load. Ive already moved the file into the /usr/share/openautopro folder, renamed it as splash.h264 and still nothing. any suggestions??
Ordered the CarLinkKit for the car play/Autobox along with the sound card and mic. Currently running: Eviciv IPS 7" touch Raspberry Pi4 TechKey Bluetooth Adapter
You should use the name of existing splash screen files if you want to replace them. Otherwise you have to modify the service file (/etc/systemd/system/openautopro.splash.service) and set path to your splash file.

Now there's a delay when turning the system on for about 10 secs, then it shows some wording on the top left, then finally loads the custom splash. No secondary splash even though its in the service file. So do I have to edit the service file or did I convert the file incorrectly? or should I just remove the second original loading splash?

I made a couple simple looping Subaru splash screens for models with red interior illumination.
