i did search, i thought i read the answer to this, but it just affected me.

with background="true", the fallback image does not load. is this a bug or the intended behavior?

this is a static content list. only setting icon

Code:
<texture background="true" fallback="weather.com plus/na.jpg">$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</texture>
I found you have to use the 'special' path to get it working.

ie
PHP Code:
<texture background="true" fallback="special://skin/media/backdrops/movies.jpg" diffuse="landscape/landscapematteNF.png">$INFO[ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)]</texture
thanks hitcher, that did work Smile
It definitely shouldn't require an absolute path.
pure guess it was probably looking for a image called weather.com
I definitely doesn't work for me if I use
Code:
fallback="backdrops/movies.jpg"
