Background Images are all Full Screen - Is there a way to keep original aspect? - Troutmaster - 2020-12-31
Greetings!
I have been banging my head for a couple of days now. Googled and searched these forums and this thread. The closest I can come to any help was in this thread which was from 7 years ago and turns out the file referenced no longer contains this setting. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=151715&pid=1321872&highlight=backgrounds+scale#pid1321872
I have traversed quite a few other .xml files within Kodi and Aeon NOX 5 and while I have found several that look like they may be able to be tweeked to meet my needs, I have been unsuccessful.
Goal - Have the background images I have sourced to a local SMB share display in their original format when cycled through as a multiimage background. I do not care about black bars, just that the image is centered and not displayed as full screen as they are now.
What file(s) must I modify to achieve my goal. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Kodi Version - Leia 18.9.0 Git:20201023-0655c2c718
Aeon NOX version - 7.0.9
nVidia Shield 2017 - Android TV SW Version 8.2.1; Kernel Version 4.9.1.40-tegra-g0d6c6ecc28f4
Thanks!

It is not for a background for each Main Menu Item.

Did you ever figure this out? It crops my photos (I think it matters whether they were landscape or portrait originally) when I tell the program to set them as background images.

I don't know which lines of code you need to change,, but when you find it, it will be something like <aspectratio align="center">scale</aspectratio>
You need to change it to <aspectratio align="center">keep</aspectratio>
