Custom BG Slow

Hey Guys,

I love MediaStream.

When i use custom backgrounds the interface takes the time to load them when im in the main menu, after there loaded there fast as the default backgrounds.

My problem is that after i watch a video it takes time to load the picture again so the systems slows down.

Is there any way to avoid this? I have the images in the /Pictures folder and they are approx. 1.2 mb in size.

Thanks

What resolution are your images and what format are they saved in. If your aren't using HD then you can resize the images quite a bit. Post a reply with some info and we should be able to help you out on this.

Im not exactly sure on the Res. but i did download them from the aeon skin site. they are labeled as 1080 so im guessing 1920x1080

They are jpg

would cut them down to 960 x 540

and converting them to bmp would probably make them even quicker (for xbox)

Thanks much guys, i will resize some pics.

Is it possible in that case to use bitmaps in the textures.xpr

drwickman.......you can download 960x540 Fanart pack from my sig. It has around 500 images already resized and ready to go.

The images in the xpr are already converted to a bitmap type format (that's what the building of the xpr does)

So are you saying if i use .bmp pictures to replace the default textures xprexpress will then convert them to .png or have i missed something?
