The contents of the file should be as follows;

Code:

<advancedsettings>
  <useddsfanart>true</useddsfanart>
</advancedsettings>

Now when you restart xbmc, any image you pause on will have a dds created. However be aware it will take a while to create a cache for each image, and also that a dds file is many times larger than its parent jpg or tbn.

I'm using this method on my atom and it makes a big difference when browsing library items with 1080 fanart.

I am so sorry for trying to help with your issue without reading your entire post history. I am clearly a terrible person. May I be struck down by the lord of the interwebs, Raptor Jesus, for my grievous crimes.

tormi Wrote:First off lett me tell you I love this skin. It seems very solid.

I have two questions and a request though.

1. Profiles
Is it not possible to switch between profiles or am I doing something wrong? I get the shutdown/restart menu when I try to exit but no switch profile alternative. I need this because I switch between my profile and my kids profile.

Quote:2. Update - Does this skin auto update? I installed it through Passion Repo.

Quote:2. Request - Movie info
I wish that some more of the movie views had the alternative of showing movie info. I want BOTH the big fanart picture in the background and movie info (plot etc, etc). How awesome would it be if you could manually select where to place what info on for instance movie screen?. I guess that that is very difficult to do.

Other than this I think this theme is really awesome skin and thanks alot.

tormi Wrote:Awesome, really looking forward to this

So where would you suggest I do my updating from then? I guess it will be install from .zip file right? But what webside do you release it to?

Quote:Also I wonder if anybody has found working RSS sites for sportsresults. That "ESPN" bar you made really makes an extra depth to the skin.

I would love theese RSS feeds if they exist:

Results for:

1- Premier League
2. MLB
3. NFL
4. NBA

Also, the zip link on the fist page is direct to the Git repo. If I were to push an update right now, that zip would be current.
