I am using the Aeon MQ3 skin with XBMC 11.0 Eden. I have the skin configured to cycle through a folder of (.dds) backdrops for both Movies and TV Shows on the home screen.

Since upgrading to Eden I have noticed that sometimes instead of displaying a backdrop it will just display a black background. It's as if it doesn't recognise the image and after a couple of seconds it moves onto the next backdrop. I never saw this issue with XBMC Dharma - so I don't know if it's a problem with Eden or the skin itself.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Setup:

Acer Revo (ION 2)
Windows 7 x64
XBMC v11.0 Eden
advancedsettings.xml has "useddsfanart" set to true

I've had this happen to me in Dharma, but all of my backdrops are in JPG format.

i too had this problem, and yes, it still happens, i can only assume that some of the images i use are to high a resolution for xbnc to handleConfused
And yes, it is annoying, when one day they all appear, another they don't!

Are all of you using Aeon MQ3? If so have you checked with the skin's developers?

Read this before using these builds.
