Hi!
I'm seeing some strange problems with the backdrop image feature in the main menu and thought I'd share what I've come up with if anyone else runs into the same issue.
I've converted some .jpegs downloaded from http://www.aeonproject.com to .bmp format for performance reasons as recommended on the site, but Xbmc only shows a black background for those files. I checked xbmc.log and saw it complaining about "Not a TIFF file, bad magic number" so I converted the files to .tiff and now everything works just fine. What gives?
Running Xbmc SVN 23196 on Ubuntu 9.04, amd64.
