Hi Mike,
I've been spending sometime on this recently and yes the old code seems to be a real mess here with the VAR to VAR to VAR, I still don't think I've tracked it all down correctly. I did ask in the 'Skinning' forum if possible to do IsEmpty or a condition on a VAR so if the it's empty then display another background. Seems the only solution for that was creating hidden buttons / options and then checking that,
It doesn't seem as if it is going to be fixed in Kodi, I don't know how tickets progress but this one hasn't changed at all? So I guess something has to be done in the skin, was even thinking of a switch maybe so people can switch to default backgrounds until the bug is hopefully found and fixed in kodi? at least backgrounds would / should always be there then?
Mike
