dsh-boot-animation

dsh-boot-animation

Replaces the DSH startup page with a chosen or random local video, then transitions into the app, with configurable playback and fallback controls. It does not modify DSH core source; future compatibility is not guaranteed.

Screenshots

Local Chromium demo host rendering the actual 0.4.0 boot and card source with sample profile data. These are not screenshots of a signed-in live DSH profile and are not a cross-platform certification.

Install

Web

dsh plugin --profile web add @ljwei-stak/dsh-boot-animation@0.4.0 --save-exact

Host and Node requirements must already be met.

Desktop

Open Settings -> Plugins -> Add plugin, paste @ljwei-stak/dsh-boot-animation@0.4.0, then quit and reopen from the tray as prompted.

For Desktop upgrades where the live install API reports the package as already installed, fully quit from the tray first and use the official Desktop bundled wrapper — not an older global dsh binary.

Windows default-location copyable offline command:

& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\DeepSeek Harness\resources\runtime\cli\bin\dsh.cmd" plugin --profile desktop add '@ljwei-stak/dsh-boot-animation@0.4.0' --save-exact

Adjust the wrapper path if DeepSeek Harness is installed elsewhere. If you use a custom DSH_HOME, retain it when running this command. Do not use this exact Windows path on Linux or macOS.

Uninstall

Web:

dsh plugin --profile web remove @ljwei-stak/dsh-boot-animation

Desktop: use the official plugin UI. Existing custom videos are separate data; review and back them up before manual deletion. A fresh package install auto-registers the scoped bundle; do not manually insert a second bundle entry.

Configuration

The plugin uses the host profile configuration and a plugin patch file. There is no separate .env, INI, or JSON settings loader.

An example fragment is provided as a config-object reference only; it is not a standalone autoloaded config file.

Settings namespace: boot-animation. Prefer the existing settings UI. Preview uses current settings immediately. Reload the Web page for the next startup; on Desktop, fully quit from the tray and reopen for the next startup. Host entry upgrades also require a full process restart.

Media

Imported videos are copied to <DSH_HOME>/profiles/<profile>/data/dsh-boot-animation/videos. The original selected file is untouched. Legacy bundled assets under assets/videos may be replaced by package upgrades; UI import is preferred.

In the UI, open Settings -> Plugins -> 启动动画 to import a video up to 256 MiB, set one clip as startup or enable several for random selection, preview current effects, and remove custom clips after confirmation.

Compatibility

• DSH: minimum >=0.2.0-rc.2; integration verified against Windows Desktop runtime 0.2.0-rc.2 and 0.2.1-rc.2.
• Node: ^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0; ESM.
• Runtime dependency: @deepseek-ai/schemastery ^3.18.4 (declared as a dependency, not a peer dependency).
• Browsers: Chromium, Chrome, and Edge targeted; Firefox is unverified.
• Platforms: macOS and Linux script paths exist but were not independently tested in this acceptance.
• Codecs: browser-supported codecs are required. H.264/AAC MP4 is preferred. MP4, WebM, M4V, and MOV containers do not guarantee codec decoding.

Permissions and trust

This Node plugin runs with host OS privileges; there is no per-plugin sandbox.

• Reads: shipped scripts and videos.
• Writes/removes: imported video copies in the profile data directory.
• Optimize: explicitly rewrites a bundled MP4 using Node APIs, with originals/ backups and .faststart-work/ scratch space. The runtime does not execute shell commands or ffmpeg.
• Credentials/network: no model or provider API keys, telemetry, or remote services are used in the plugin runtime. Browser HTTP calls are same-origin. npm and GitHub network access are required by the installer and are distinct from runtime behavior.

HTTP boundary

Custom import, read, and delete routes enforce DSH connection.requestRejection authentication and path checks. Bundled clip manifest/video and Optimize routes do not enforce that same hook themselves. Do not assume every route is authenticated.

Use only in a trusted local environment. Remote or reverse-proxy operators must enforce access control for the entire /plugins/dsh-boot-animation/ prefix. Imported media is not published to GitHub or npm. Videos are served no-store, so repeated loads transfer clip data again.

License

Code is under MIT. The LICENSE declares the bundled MP4 work under the same MIT terms. User-imported media retains its own rights; installing the plugin does not relicense it.

Directory submission

A ready-to-copy submission draft follows the hub template. The badge confirms the plugin is listed in the community directory; it does not imply official endorsement or a quality guarantee.
