Backgroundslideshow for Main Menu Items
#1
Hey,
I'm trying to establish slideshows for my main menu items. I have successfully chosen single wallpapers, but are not able to get these slideshows work. I have chosen the directory, which contains the pictures, but it doesn't work. What do I have to do? I also tried to create slideshows with other programs. XBMC doesn't recognize them tough.
Please help meh! Big Grin

Settings>background>up for single image, down for multi image (slideshow) ... Choose an item, press down and browse for your folder.

I'm pretty sure he's done that already.
I had the same problem a few days ago. But it turns out to be a problem with a certain version of a certain skin installed on a certain version of XBMC. Laugh
The problem occured when I installed this.

If that's the case, I haven't found a way around the problem. I just installed a different Aeon (Aeon65, that is) and it works fine now.

jip, that's the version I have installed. Damn it, I don't want to create all the information for my movies again by reinstalling everything.

Where did you load Aeon65? Over Github?
Or did you chose another Aeon version like Showmix?

The repository has a fix, then you need to update it in order to obtain updates of the skin.

How to:

- Go into ADD-ONS> GET ADD-ONS> REPOSITÓRIO AEON MQ and press C on your keyboard.
- Select then FORCE REFRESH.
- Enter the REPOSITORY> SKIN and see if there is an update.
- Have to manually restart XBMC and after completion.

Hello, instead of starting a new thread i'm gonna ask this here as it is a similar problem. Everything I have installed is up to date as of yesterday. I am running MQ2. When I select display movie or tv show fanart background slide show option (don't remember the exact wording) its works... except when I go to movies in the main menu, sometimes it will show TV Show fanart. Then when I move over to TV Shows, the image doesn't change and continues to rotate between movie fanart and tv show fanart. Sorry if this has been covered, I was unable to find it.

Figured it out I think. Or atleast found a work around. Maybe I'm doing something wrong in the settings, but I created my own slideshows by exporting video library to single files which saves the fanart as jpegs. I was then able to save them in appropriate folders. And set custom slideshow for Movies and TV shows. Hopefully this helps some people.
