Backdrops not displaying

[daniel.bmyer 11]

Maybe I have this wrong but when I hit enter on a tv show or movie from the main listing, shouldn't I see a backdrop?  I clicked the multidot option and went to Images, and I can see the tv show or movie has a backdrop, banner etc but for some reason, it's just not showing...

 

Is there an option I have to select somewhere to enable?

Didn't you have a previous topic about images not loading? I wouldn't be surprised if they are just slow to load.

[daniel.bmyer 11]

Well, all my images are now showing...ok maybe I'll leave ET on a tv show for awhile and see if it loads...

[daniel.bmyer 11]

Nope definitely not loading.  I have some shows on my local drive and some on my server.  None are loading regardless of where they are stored.  I can see the images in the actual folder.

 

As well, shouldn't it display as a screensaver?  If I enable the screensaver from within Windows I get the Windows screensaver.  I don't get anything specific for ET even though I have the option checked under Display options.  I tried turning off Windows screensaver but nothing happens within ET.

The app needs to be idle for several minutes before you will get a screensaver. As far as the backdrops go, please attach the information requested in how to report a problem. thanks.

Playing around I managed to get the screensaver working but still no backdrops. What's odd is that when I go to the server I can see the backdrops.  Just not on ET.  I'll check out the link

Well, here's the server log and some screenshots.

 

First screenshot is from the server and is from a movie, the second screenshot is of a tv show on the server.  As you can see both show a backdrop. The third screenshot is of ET, same tv show as second screenshot but contains no backdrop.  I let it sit there for 30min and nothing showed up.  I even made sure my drive wasn't sleeping and went to the drive and opened a file on it.  Still nada.

Oh and here's a screenshot of the images

I discovered the problem.  The backdrops don't work with the Apple TV theme.  As soon as I change it to any other theme, the backdrops show up.  Must be a bug in the Apple theme.

[Luke 42077]

Correct, it's not really a bug it's just the design of the theme right now.

[daniel.bmyer 11]

Ahh it's a feature and not a bug...
