I've been using the Obsidian skin in Theater View along with the Grey Vines background video from sirganty's MetroX skin (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=79340.0).  I like it a lot, but I was in the mood for a change.

I found this YouTube Channel with ~500 different background videos:  http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQP6qJU1vAq7fINZtHYfnJQ/videos

All you need to do is to download a clip of your liking.  I know for sure .mpg and .flv files work, the .mp4 ones I tried did not work (you can always use MC to convert format as well).  
Create a New Folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 19\Skins\Theater View\Themes and name it for your new clip.
Rename your downloaded clip "Background" and copy it into the Folder you just created.
Under Tools -> Options -> Theater View -> Appearance -> Theme select the name of the Folder you created.

Voila .... a new moving Background image in Theater View.  Seems simple enough, but I never thought to try it until today.  Thought others might enjoy it as well.

Hmmm.  That's good info.  I'd like to have a changing background.  Just brainstorming I think I have a way to do it - set up a scheduled task that every hour (day?) it copies a different video to the Background.mpg file.
