Title: Background images when playing audio?
Post by: ivwshane on December 22, 2012, 04:05:47 am

One of my favorite features when listening to music in theater view is on the now playing screen it will display random images of the artist in the background.

I have two questions about this;
1) where are these images coming from?
2) how can I make it so that these images are full screen with no other text on the screen and not be dim?

Kinda OT but when you add a track to the playlist, shouldn't it say, "added", instead "add".

Some configuration of these images is possible.

Look in Options > Theater View > Theme

Thanks. I found the databases it's using but there is no option to make the background images full screen and not dim:(

You can set the intensity of the background picture in Options under Theater Viev/Theme/image Mix Amount, set it to Strong.

Thanks!

Strong is better but now I'm concerned about burn in on my plasma.

I want to only see the online images and none of the menu items, is there not a way for those to fade out?

No, but we've committed to doing this during v18.  No date yet.

Is there a way to use locally stored images for the backgrounds that display during playback?
