Post Re: [HOW-TO] Custom Backgrounds + Font Types
I have recently purchased a Playon!HD Mini2 and upgraded to v9.5.5.r5440.
Changing the Font Type is working fine :D . The custom background is however not working.
I have converted both 720p and 1080p jpgs with Adobe PhotoShop Elements to noninterlaced pngs. I do not see the custom background at all after choosing one of the created pngs. The tips/tricks given in earlier posts are also not working for me.

I know that a custom background does not work in firmware 5440 for the Mini 1, whereas as it did in the preceding firmware 4585 and 3966. That has been reported as a bug.
That might also be the case for the Mini 2.

Just tried this out and can confirm that custom background picture does not work either on Mini2 with r5440 firmware.

I have found that the custom background only is applied to the "Home" screen. The font is carried through all navigation pages.

Is this by design or a bug?

MiniHD2 FW 6629

Used not setup, but as e.g. Favorites.
Setup does not update the screen.

It can also be that works only with an internal HDD. By one FW it was at least. But I do not know which FW.

I have ACryan 2 mini ... I don't have the abillity to insert an internal HDD ...
The only thing I do is plug the external Samsung 2 TB HDD to a hub ( USB Splitter )
connected to the USB port ...

And the other thing you've wrote ...
I didn't understand ...
