Why isnt my background picture not appearing when i install my build on my box:

My link is correct and my jpeg is in the skin/extras/backgrounds folder.

<setting id="skinshortcuts-background-special://skin/extras/backgrounds/the-dark-knight-rises-batman-movie-1920x1080.jpg" type="bool">true</setting>

EDIT:
Could it be my "DASHES"..... i think so, i will test immediatly?

What are you trying to accomplish here ?
NEVER put any background directly in the skin's folder. That will be overwritten by Kodi!
Use another folder on your disk to store your images.

Just browse your file from within the skin stetings and set it as backgrounds. That will be all.
If you can't see all file locations in the file browser for images, you'll have to add the path to the file manager.

My images are now in my user_data/background folder but to get to them I had to create add a source to my user_data. Because when i "select background" "single image" there was no way to get to my user_data folder. Only my added repo source are showing
