Thanks Latvian, before you get TOO excited, you should not point to a folder with hundreds of images. Each image does have to load into memory, so if you leave hundreds of images cycling (looping) you can run out of memory. MP does free up memory when you navigate to another screen (at least on Vista!)
For now, the cycling images must be copied into the aMPed\media\animations\home folder (it's a new folder). I would recommend you resize your jpgs so they are small file sizes and take less memory to load, that way you can have more of them depending how much memory you have. Besides, not alll images look good on the aMPed home screen, so it's great to select the ones that really show off your media center. And then just switch to a new group every once in a while.
I'm not big on broadcast or recorded TV either, but I LOVE the TVSeries plugin. Have you tried it yet?
BTW, the new home layouts are not in the rar file yet. I'm still polishing them up, but I just wanted to give you an idea of what's coming.
