I think so, since that is how my main menu looks also.

The problem is the behavior of Player.Volume on leia I believe, but haven't tested on krypton.

Here's a patch that removes the Player.Volume condition (so no background image on mute icon in upper left after this patch):

It is not quite cleart where do I have to add the filename and extention?

I hope that Jeroen doesn't mind, because this is not my thread.
Between the parenthesis, where it says "media" you can insert a "playlist, music, or video file, directory, plugin or a url. So replace the word "media" with one of those.
The other parameters of PlayMedia are optional (that's why they are between square brackets).

Code:

PlayMedia(media[,isdir][,1],[playoffset=xx])

Description of the PlayMedia built-in function (from the first link that Jeroen referred you to in his post) :

Code:

Plays the media. This can be a playlist, music, or video file, directory, plugin or a url. The optional parameter ",isdir" can be used for playing a directory. ",1" will start a video in a preview window, instead of fullscreen. If media is a playlist, you can use playoffset=xx where xx is the position to start playback from.

EDIT:
You must use this built-in function in one of two XML tags : <onclick> or <onfocus>.
<onclick>PlayMedia(path-including-video-file-name-here)</onclick>
or
<onfocus>PlayMedia(path-including-video-file-name-here)</onfocus>

EDIT2:
If you're determining the full pathname to the video (or music or whatever) file with Python :
To stay platform independent and avoid unnecessary hardcoding use paths with the special protocol : Special_protocol (wiki)
Look at the top of your log for "special://" and see how they are mapped, to find out the proper one to use.
For example, I see this one (of many others) "NOTICE: special://home/ is mapped to: /home/luke-cage/.kodi"

I think the artists slideshow sort of does what you want.

Screen burn on modern displays though? Maybe if you listen to one artist 24/7 all week, otherwise I really wouldn't worry about that.

Oh you mean, while in your music library? I'm puzzled... After a while Kodi will activate the now playing window anyway if I'm not mistaken? Aren't you just looking for a screensaver?

Just a note about this. I don't have any problem with people using Grid on Leia, but please do not report issues you encounter in that case. If @realjohngalt wouldn't have known about that Leia bug and posted about it, I would have been investigating this issue on Krypton which would have been a total waste of time.

At this time Grid is only compatible with Krypton, and it is not tested against Leia. Making a skin compatible with a new Kodi version involves more than just bumping Kodi's gui version. I need to be sure that any reported issue is encountered on the latest version of Grid and on the same version of Kodi I am using.

Thanks.
