Background loader question - sualfred - 2016-03-07

Just a small question to our Kodi devs or someone else who could answer it, because I dunno how to check if this will work:

Code:
<variable name="ImageLoader">

<value condition="StringCompare(foo,bar)">true</value>

<value>false</value>

</variable>

Code:
<control type="image">

...

<texture background="$VAR[ImageLoader]">largeimage.png</texture>

..

</control>

Okay, seems not to work.

Try with PARAM, it should work.

Anyway, why not leave it always "true" if its large image?

Yep, I know. Just wanted to know Smile

Thought a speed penalty was caused by the background loading tag of dozens artworks on slow devices, but the issue seems to be solved by a miracle. So I use true on all artworks again.
