Can I set a video as boot animation using Plymouth in Arch Linux?


I'm new to Arch and I need your help. I like a video(Watch Dogs loading screen animation) and I want to set it as my Arch's boot animation. Is there a way I could do it?? I'm using Plymouth. I would like to know your answers. Please help!


Solution

  • re-read the wiki article plymouth and follow the section on adding custom themes, the watchdogs intro theme can be found here

    Note: this will make your computer play the whole animation, even if the boot itself is faster than that. there is no way around that for now
