Adding image from url to home

k1m0s · 2011-11-14 05:53

If I wanted to add a picture from a url to the home screen how would i go about that? I've tried a few variations of this on home.xml

Code:

                    <control type="image">

                        <posx>48</posx>

                        <posy>100</posy>

                        <width>600</width>

                        <height>450</height>

                        <texture>http://forum.xbmc.org/images/misc/xbmc.gif</texture>

                    </control>

cannot get any success. Probably something really simple I am missing Thanks in advance

PHP Code:

<control type="largeimage">
        <include>Furniture_SettingsNewsSlideBig</include>
        <texture>http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6056/6301038873_584031691e_b.jpg</texture>
        <visible>Control.HasFocus(6)</visible>
        <fadetime>400</fadetime>
    </control> 

This is what i use and have no problems with it could be the fact that you want a .gif file to display ?? your code looks ok to me
