EHS Backdrops

[Rob]

I'm looking to add the following feature request
http://community.mediabrowser.tv/permalinks/1738/mealstrom-backdrops

Is the backdrops utilizing the IBN on the root scroller item part of
MB core product or is this something specific to Diamond? I would not
like to have to reinvent the wheel if the functionality already exists
in MB.

I just added a regular backdrop control to layout root, and proceed as
usual. MB will pull in the backdrop from IBN. (BackDrop4)

Hope you come right.

I'm using BackDrop4 and it only seems to pull backdrops of plugins
from IBN, It doesn't seem to pull backdrops for the VFs from the
General folder.

Just double checked and it is a backdrop 4 that im using....

All I can suggest is double checking that you are binding both the
selectedchild and selectedchild.BackdropImage to backdrop.item and
backdrop.image respectively.

Other than that, double check that you dont have a spelling error in
your images by name set up? maybe the image is name bakcdrop.jpg instead
of backdrop.jpg.... or something similar.

But yeah, I just quickly ran through my rootlayout and above is all
theat I have regarding the backdrops.

I'll have to check my code when I get home but i'm pretty sure that
all that is being done, I may dump my cache or turn off SQLite to see
if that does anything.

Uggh fixed a little typo in my EHS page and all is good now.
