 +Since Batocera 5.27 the progress of adding images and videos is much easier to do. Just copy the appropriate files to your dedicated SHARE directory ''splash'' (on your SMB network) and on reboot you can see your newest selections. 
 +
 +**WARNING:** ultimately, those splash videos will be copied into your ''/boot/'' partition, which has limited space. Depending on your architecture, the sizes of your potential overlays and many other parameters, you might be limited to 100s of MB left on the ''/boot/'' partition, less than 1 GB in most cases. Make sure you don't put too many videos in your ''splash'' directory or the process will not work.
