You can add video backgrounds, but they have to be in .GIF format. But the size and strain on performance might not be good. You can convert video to gif with http://www.online-convert.com/
Wow, hadn't even thought of that! Nice solution. Obviously, performance will take a huge hit, but that's as good a solution as is possible at the moment!

I do hear the button press sound but the time value doesn't change. Have tried with another keyboard remote but that's the same, button press sound but value doesn't change.
Thought it might have been due to the 17.1 upgrade but I have also tested on another android box which is still at 17.0 and it too won't allow me to change the time setting.
I always try to add precautions that would ensure the setting is working. In this instance, if nothing is selected, it defaults to five seconds. The very first time you click the toggle, it will actually select the first value, which, again is five. Everything after that goes in a preset circle, with incremental increases of the set values. From what you've described, it looks like the default five seconds haven't been set by the skin upon the update that brought the setting. Therefore, you can't enter the circle, so to speak.
I'm always adding new skin settings, and while with the precautions I take, everything works most of the time, there's going to be glitches up the wazoo, especially when dealing with complex settings like this, with many options that impact the whole skin. The only way to guarantee that the settings I add-in are properly applied would be to delete the skin's settings.xml file (userdata/addon_data/skin.eminence.2.mod.Krypton) from the userdata folder, boot up Kodi, and readjust the settings to your preference.
If you don't want to do that, which I understand, then you need to tackle these situations on an individual basis. In this case, you could go inside the settings.xml and add the setting manually.
Code:
<setting id="rotationlimit" type="string">2</setting>
The "rotationlimit" is the setting in question, the number is the value selected. 1 is five seconds 2 is ten seconds, etc. By setting any number, you should in effect force the skin to acknowledge the setting, and jumpstart the proper behaviour. After this, it should work from within the skin. There's a chance that you already have the setting in the file, but without any value attached to it. Many situations are possible...
Let me know if you've made progress!
