hm, this is not picture - i tell i can make interactive image if xbmc can show, but cant -

<pictureextensions>

A list of additional file-extensions to allow (add) or exclude (remove) in the My Pictures window.

Default extensions for PICTURES:

.png .jpg .jpeg .bmp .gif .ico .tif .tiff .tga .pcx .cbz .zip .cbr .rar .m3u


- .SVG is not on the list , and this is smaller problem - i can do it (i can generate actual as image) but need to xbmc get it from apache location :

http://localhost/sensors/someImage.svg or http://localhost/sensors/someImage.jpg

but i cant - i try add it manualy as background to weather button (in xml file) and dont show
show only when location is /sensors/someImage.jpg(show) /sensors/someImage.svg(dont show)
- but this is not php parsed image - is possible to allow xbmc get image backround from http:// location ?

(or other easy way to show data from file i can make xml, svn or somethink witch data from sensors - but how connect it to xbmc ?)


ok i understand now - you tall my to i add manualy new extension - ok i do it, but now last question i think - how set to backround image - http:// location is possible ? (then i can parse this file witch php so every time when xbmc get it file have acutal data)
you just add svg to the list thats the point of advanced settings to try.

XBMC cannot use as is http locations for background images.

You can make a addon if your handy with code, that would solve all your problems and display the data anywhere as you wish using xbmc.

Or find a way to add a http source and use that as source for your images.
