Can't change backgrounds - fguerrag - 2009-12-07

Hi there!

I know this should be one of the easiest things to do to your skin but I just can't change the backgrounds for any menu, I must be missing something

I go to settings>skin settings>backgrounds>enable custom backgrounds

then when I try to set the path I get 2 options:
DVD drive or Home folder

I choose Home>Pictures Where I transferred my pics using WinSCP and I get an empty folder

I have uploaded the pics in .bmp and in .jpg with the same results

I have also made a new folder and uploaded them there with the same result

When I check them using file manager I can see them fine.

Please advise

BTW: I'm using XBMC Live 9.04.1

Ok , it turns out that you cannot see the actual pic that you want to set , you just select the folder and the pic will show.

It would be nice if you could see the pics, but I'm not making the rules here...

In 9.04.1 it was likely a folder of pictures that you were browsing for, yes.

In 9.11 you can pick a single picture or a folder of pictures.

Nice!

I'll give it a try in a few days
