[QUOTE="GaryMartynUK, post: 1048719, member: 125768"] Brudertac, Not sure why it would not save the setting. It is working fine on mine. When you say it works fine, but doesn't save, do you mean the option changes in the settings screen but everything is still animated or do they stop animating and then start again when you restart MePo? Can you check in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\SkinSettings.xml to make sure you have a line that says... <entry name="#skin.basichome.background.style">stationary</entry> That is the one set-up when you change the setting in the config screen. If it says animated instead, can you try changing it in the settings screen and then opening the file again and see if it changes. Only thing I can think is that either this file may have become read-only for some reason, or something else is resetting the file to the default (which won't have this setting in it at all) As for fanart. Personally I downloaded a number of 1920x1080 backdrops for TV shows I record and put them in the manual TV fanart directory, usually C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\tv FanArt handler will then post these images as the fanart for the TV section. This way i have only TV programmes as fanart. However if you want to use the Moving pictures backdrops for the TV Section, if you edit the BasicHome.FanartSelected.xml in the Pulse8 Dark Cherry directory you can change the lines.... (In the TV section of the file) <texture>#fanarthandler.tv.userdef.backdrop1.any</texture> <texture>#fanarthandler.tv.userdef.backdrop2.any</texture> into these (from the 'Movies' section of the file) <texture>#fanarthandler.movingpicture.backdrop1.any</texture> <texture>#fanarthandler.movingpicture.backdrop2.any</texture> This will now pull MovingPictures movie backdrops in as the fanart for the TV button. As well as the MovingPictures button. [/QUOTE]
