NextPVR Windows client backdrop

How do I change the background in the above please ?

Does v5 have themes ?

[mvallevand]

You mean v6 now

Start with http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...on.General but It looks like sub removed all the background options though so you have to manually copy them over from v4 if you still have it.

mkdir "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\data\skin\Default\_Backgrounds"
cd "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\data\skin\Default\_Backgrounds"
copy C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Skin\Default\_Backgrounds\*

If you don't have v4 I can upload them.

Merci.

Pity though. The blue one is OK, but its definitely on the familiar side.

Hopefully we'll be able to add a jpg, like for UiDroid...

[mvallevand]

I updated my post with some info.

Martin

[arrbee99]

No, don't have v4.

Uploading would be good please...Uploading jpgs or themes or...?

[mvallevand]

Just jpgs, v4 skins would need to be updated.

For now try this and I can put them on the NextPVR wiki

Norton won't let me download them.

I know, Norton, I guess I'm just old-fashioned...

I guess you can wait until I get it on github. No doubt that site can host pretty much anything, but it's free. If you do get it you can check with

fciv Default-Backgrounds.zip for the checksum.

Thanks very much for that.

Erm, with that mkdir stuff higher up, I'm supposed to create that directory ?

Do I then copy stuff to that from that Skin directory ? - which I don't have.

[mvallevand]

Yes as admin create that folder, and unzip that zip file into it.
