After upgrading to the Matrix version of this skin, I noticed that my background changes from time to time.

I'm trying to create a minimalist setup with only the home menu and sub menus, without any further widgets or other distracting elements. To achieve this, I have applied the following settings:

  • Home > Show widget information: off
  • Home > Show widget posters: Never
  • Home > Show widget discart: off
  • In Home > Customise home menu, all items have Widget set to None and Background set to the same static image.
  • Background > Show fanart: off
  • Background > Background overlay image: set to static image (same as for Customise home menu items)
  • Background > Fanart fallback image: None

Despite this, every once in a while my background gets temporarily overridden with a fanart image. When I press up on my remote, I see a Spotlight widget showing the same movie from which the fanart seems to originate.

As a workaround, I have removed the entire <!-- Home Widget --> section from here:

skin.eminence.2/16x9/Includes_Home.xml

Lines 508 to 728 in c4b26fe

This removes the Spotlight widget and fixes the background changes, but of course it's not a proper fix for the underlying issue.

You need to set the fallback widget.

  • Create a folder with a single image
  • Go to Pictures and add the folder as a source (you might need to add the Pictures menu item temporarily if you've removed it)
  • Go to Skin Settings > Home > Fallback Widget > Pictures Sources > Your Folder

Now the fallback widget will be your image.

Latest version also makes it a bit easier by adding a "Replace fallback widget with image" option which saves you needing to add it as a picture source.

Adding the fallback widget works indeed. Thank you!
