Different backgrounds in Basic Home (1 Viewer)

[sergiocos]

Deffinitely the best looking skin for MP, but I'm looking for tweaks for it. I wonder if there is a way to cycle backgrounds for Basic Home.
Example: I have a huge amount of fanart/backdrops and i want to put this in specific folders: TV-Series, Movies, Weather etc. and StreamedMP to cycle the contet of folders.

However, I can't find the two backrounds for TV-Series (Heroes and Dexter fanart), so, I can't guess where the files are located. If anyone can help me with this feature,

It's located in the skin dir under media/animations/ and there are the folders for the different sections with the pictures in it.

Hi there and welcome

Not in front of my MP now, but let me try.
program files\team meadiaportal\mediaportal\skin\steamedmp\media\annimations
or there about.
If you still don't get it, I will look it up later this evening.

Does the skin make it possible to add shortcuts between the skins animations folder and the relative thumbs folders for TvSeries and Moving Pictures. As that would make things fantastic!

just edit the basichome.xml and change the imagepath
example:
<imagepath>tv</imagepath>
to
<imagepath>C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Fan Art\fanart\original</imagepath>
(if using vista)

Hello,

In my basichome.xml, some strings look like this:

<description>MOVIES VIDEOS DVD BACKGROUND</description>

And when I change the image path to a backdrop I want, it will set them for all three, movies, videos and DVD. There are others that do the same such as plugins and pictures, and TV show and tv...

I would like to get it to display a different backdrop for each selection. Is this yet possible?

Thanks

you can just use the basichome editor program that comes with streamedmp. delete those three sections then add them in again with different image directories.

ftothe3 thanks for your reply,

I tried as you suggested, but there isn't a separate folder for each section. I even went to where the folders are located and added one, and it didn't appear in the streamedmp editor where that drop down box is. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?
