Splash Screen

This extension can show an intro video and an image when starting a game.

Videos can be configured:

If videos are enabled, the extension will look in the mentioned order to show a video and play it if available.

For the splash image, the extension will try to use the image in the following order:

Splash images can be configured to show the logo on top if it has been added by the Extra Metadata Tools extension.

Extension behavior can be configured independently for Playnite Desktop and Fullscreen modes.

Notes (Please read):

Video support requires that Window Media Player is installed in your system.
Videos need to be mp4 format. For supported videos, I can only confirm that videos with h264 codec, yuv420 color space and mp3 audio are supported so if your video isn't playing you should encode it with those specifications.
Videos will lock Playnite until they finish playing so be sure to only use short videos, as intended.
Please be aware that certain launchers like Amazon games will steal focus when launching games from it and will show over the splash image and nothing can be done as an attempt to fix it. Please understand that there will always be edge cases that the extension has no control over.

Configure extension behavior from MainMenu -> Extensions -> Splash Screen -> View settings
Add videos if wanted from MainMenu -> Extensions -> Splash Screen -> Open video manager
