I've tried it but its mostly useful for "wait"-animations and other small blips and not real video-backgrounds.<br><br>/Hylsan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/3/12 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mythtv-theming-request@mythtv.org">mythtv-theming-request@mythtv.org</a>></span><br>

Hi Dave,<br>
<br>
not that I know of. You could use an animation of several files, but I<br>
have never tested if it works. I might do it tonight to see how it<br>
looks.<br>
<br>
from the Wiki, you could use these tags for a background image:<br>
<br>
<!-- Animation attributes (used instead of filename or gradient)--><br>
<filepattern low="0" high="30" cycle="reverse">imagefile%1.png</filepattern><br>
<delay>500</delay><br>
<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
<br>
