Ok i'm using xbmc(on an xbox)( i think i'm using the 6-30 tch build) and using aeon 12a downloaded from the site.
I downloaded all of the background packs, and after converting all to tiffs as reccommended on the backgrounds page (using irfan). and placed them in the following directories.
f:\xbmc\skin\aeon\backgrounds\Movies
f:\xbmc\skin\aeon\backgrounds\Tvshows
f:\xbmc\skin\aeon\backgrounds\Games
f:\xbmc\skin\aeon\backgrounds\Pictures
f:\xbmc\skin\aeon\backgrounds\Music
I also set the background dirs for each of the aforementioned sections.
this didn't work at all. So i cleared the directories and converted the backgrounds to png's and reuploaded and reset the directories, Still no hope.
So i continued to clear and convert the files this time to bmp files and again i reset the directories. This worked but i think i found two bugs. First in the Aeon->background settings page no thumbnails show up on the right when the directory is selected.
Second on the actual home screen the following happens:
if i select any of the sections such as games a random image from the directory will show up but it i switch to annother section (from games) that has a directory set, the background image will not load (the background image will just be black), and if i switch from a black background to annother category with a directory set it will show the background just fine.
If i go from a section with the background dir set to a section without a background dir set (and therefore uses the default image) and then the next section has a bg dir set all three will show image backgrounds. Also if i stay on any section it will show an image, then when it cycles to the next random image it will not load image, but the next time it cycles it will show the image. And lastly if i am on one of the setions that when switching it loaded a black background, when it switches for the first time it will load the background then the next time it will load black, then image, and so on.
Ok so i realize thats a lot of detail, but i think i have nailed the bugs down to the following,
1. Tiff, and png don't work at all.
2. The thumbnail on the right side of the Aeon->Backgrounds page doesn'
t show any thumbnails after selecting a background directory.
3. If the skin tries to switch from one background to background (where the first and second background is from a background directory) will only load every other background, in other words it cannot switch from one two annother without loading a black background between each.
I hope that covers it. If you need any more details let me know.
