CONFIRMATION OF ISSUE -

Ok so I very carefully slowly did a complete rebuild. I wiped all traces of Kodi off the AFTV box, downloaded a fresh copy of 17.1 and rebuilt using ONLY specto (to get stuff in library), and Titan beta including whatever addons the skin wanted to add.

First tests the TV Show backgrounds worked as intended...and then I added "extra fanart" and BAM! Same old problem back again. Also same issues of settings not sticking after a reboot, or refresh or even a theme color change.
The only test I haven't run is reverting back to 17 RC1 where I had NONE of these issues. I dont really want to go back as I will lose the new HTTPS feature of Kodi 17.1

So there you have it. Tested, re-tested and confirmed. Still my favorite skin though...

Thanks Marcel. Hope you get some time to look into this.

I can confirm the same issue of the background losing sync with the selected library item. I think this problem is exacerbated by the slowness of your platform. I have to do much more navigating before the problem becomes apparent. Also, the loss of sync seems to be temporary and sync returns after about half a minute (for me). It will get 'lost' again though if you continue to navigate.

Note: this problem does not occur in the current stable release of titan.
