Backgrounds using special:// - jamesj1984 - 2017-01-25

Hi all,
i am using Arctic Zephyr in Kodi 17 version 2.3.6 and currently having issues with backgrounds copying build from windows to android.
In Movies & TV tabs i have a single background picking up my background folder in userdata which using special:// works bringing it accros on any device.
the problem is with the other tabs that have multi images. they work in testing on windows but even with special://home they are not being located.
is there something im doing wrong.
thank you

Hello James. Today i was told to go to file manager and add "Special://HOME" as a source. Make sure that background folder is in the home folder. I moved mine to userdata. I then customized my hubs to direct to the newly added source. I just uploaded my build and loaded it onto my Macbook. Wallpapers are in tact. Hope this helps. Have a good day James.
