check if you have at least xbmc 9.11 and Transparency! 2.11

I do have the newest xbox friendly version of Transparency, but I'm using the most stable release of t3ch version of XBMC for xbox which is 9.04.1. Should I upgrade to his SVN version? I thought the true 9.11 version only worked on windows/linux/etc. as I don't see an xbox download on xbmc.org's download page. Thanks again for your help.

9.04.1 is pretty old, you should try the latest T3CH release (XBMC 2010-04-27 SVN rev29407).

I'll install that when I get home from work and let you know how it goes. Thanks much!

you'll have to mod the skin for it

in MyVideos.xml, you'll find one multiimage control,
add another one after it:
Code:
<control type="multiimage">
    <posx>0</posx>
    <posy>0</posy>
    <width>1280</width>
    <height>720</height>
    <timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>
    <randomize>true</randomize>
    <fadetime>2000</fadetime>
    <imagepath fallback="special://skin/images/backgrounds/background-videos.jpg">[i][b]/path/to/backgroundsfolder[/b][/i]</imagepath>
    <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
    <include condition="Skin.HasSetting(AnimateBackgrounds)">backgroundanimation</include>
    <include>VisibleFadeEffect</include>
    <visible>substring(Container.FolderName,[i][b]SourceName[/b][/i]) + IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)) + IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)</visible>
</control>

replace '/path/to/backgroundsfolder' with the path to the folder containing your background images
and replace 'SourceName' with the name you've given to the source when you added your custom path to xbmc.

is the sourcename the label i gave in includes_home.xml? its currently just going to the videos source page

- ronie - 2010-05-31 01:26

no, it's the label that's shown on the Videos page.
let's say you want custom backgrounds when browsing your Home Movies,
you simply replace SourceName with Home Movies

ok im glad u showed a screen cause mine looks the same (except the links) so theoretically if i go into home movies and my myvideo.xml looks like this

</control><control type="multiimage">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<imagepath fallback="special://skin/images/backgrounds/background-videos.jpg">/E/IMAGES/Home Movies/</imagepath>
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<include condition="Skin.HasSetting(AnimateBackgrounds)">backgroundanimation</include>
<include>VisibleFadeEffect</include>
<visible>substring(Container.FolderName,Home Movies) + IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)) + IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)</visible>
</control>


and my art is in E:/IMAGES/Home Movies and my videos are in SMB://Home Movies
i have it like this where am i going wrong?
