Hi all.
The guy had OpenATV installed and this Enigma2 (this OpenATV) unfortunately overwrites the original Splash Screen with a new one, produced in the OpenATV team.
But that doesn't mean we can't help this guy . There is a problem with the set-top box, not with the Enigma2 itself.
In the case of my Vu+ Solo SE V2, I can't use 720x576 resolution because the bootloader doesn't read this image size. I don't know why I have to use a resolution of 720 x 480 and consequently, this image is automatically stretched to a different resolution.
I haven't detected a bootloader algorithm principle, but it's probably checking the correct file size. If it is incorrect, it will not be displayed at all. If the file was smaller (850 kB), it was not displayed at all. Instead of a splash-screen, I only saw a black screen. However, if the image was around 980 kB - 1100 kB, then it worked.
Step by step:
1. you need a BMP-image (.bmp file)
2. it should have 720x480 resolution and 24 bit colors (RGB = 3 x 8 bit, no "Alpha" byte)
3. when the BMP image is ready, it must be renamed to the file name "splash_cfe_auto.bin"
4. copy the file to a USB key (FAT32 formatted) in the following folder, depending on the shortcut name of your set-top box:
"/vuplus/your_box/"
(example: "/vuplus/solose/splash_cfe_auto.bin")
A note:
Of course, just use this one splash....bin file ! Do not use the firmware file ! Otherwise, the entire firmware would flash into the set-top box again .
5. You can now flash your set-top box from the USB key as usual when flashing the set-top box
If you want ... you can try my boot splash-screen. Unfortunately, my original Vu+ splash was also deleted / replaced when flashing the OpenATV image. Therefore, I use this alternative (new) logo for my Vu+ device. BTW, the directory on the USB key, must be renamed according to your set-top-box name.
