Does XBMC have the ability to animate backdrops like this video I stumbled on from MeediOS....http://www.vimeo.com/5437742
mcborzu Wrote:Cool!!...That video is a good example yet bad because they have there backdrops transitioning every 2 seconds and the burns animations are quick too.actually in that video kenburns is set to 10sec but it can be dynamically adjusted to whatever speed... also if you look closely in the beginning of the video I was using next/prev actions in the top menu to manually change images so that's why they are flying by. There is also Stop slidehow action in top menu to stop slideshow completely and in that case slideshow stops but image still keeps slowly floating around ...there is more then meets the eye in those videos...
If it goes along side normal XBMC backdrops which are like every 10 seconds and the burns transitions are slow, or atleast have a variable for people to control like time="", it would look pretty sharp.

Do we reverse the animation, just freeze the picture, or something else?That decition should probably be left up to the skinner, so great if both options could be supported?
jmarshall Wrote:If a list of suitable animations (preferably with it implemented in the skin as a proof of concept) could be put together, I can look into it.Any skinners volunteering to put a such list of "kenburns" animations together for jmarshall?
