Question Regarding - Changing the Background.png image (1 Viewer)

[elvis56]

Hi all,

Love this skin by the way. ONe thing I wanted to play with is trying to just change the following image when i am in MY Videos. I have it set to Title and List. I like it that way but It shows the Movie Theater image I have attached below in the background. I would like try have something else displayed like a Family photo or something

I tried changing the background.png image in C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\StreamedMP with another. Named it the same thing and removed the default one completey but this picture still shows
I must be missing a step or something. Can someone shed some light on this Newbie lol



I am currently not using Moving Pictures (will be in the future though)

Hi there

I think you must also clear(delete) your skin cache.
Should be somewhere in:
XP = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\
Vista = C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\

When you start using MovingPictures, it will create a fanart folder for itself in User Files > Thumbs to store all the movie backdrops.

You can then edit the BasicHome.xml of StreamedMP to point to this directory rather than the default one.

Look for the <Path>films</Path> line for the MovingPictures section and change films to be the folder location

Result = from the home page hovering over 'Moving Pictures' now cycles through the backdrops of all your films (or personal images if you place them in this folder) rather than displaying the default red seats.

It also works with MyTvSeries too
