Boot video with the new beta client?
How does it work? I have installed the new beta client, created the folder (steamui/overrides/movies/) and copied a 1280x800 .webm video in that. But the video does not show on start.

How it works?

This was the problem, thx! Is it possible to have more videos? Like have random boot video?

Haven't done this myself, but since it's a Linux OS, you could have a script run that renames a random video file to that filename so that it would be random each boot. Technically that should be possible.

I would say no at the moment. You can only have 1 boot animation at the time and it won't change boot animation every time you restart or power off and then on. It will atm only go after current file name and webm format. You could add this multiple boot animation idea as suggestion in the suggestion section.
