Phoenix 2 Weather Backgrounds

[bialio]

The stock version of P2 ships with just 2 weather backgrounds for each condition (cloudy, clear, sunny, rain, etc).

If you want to add some more variety, there is a nice bundle of weather backgrounds here :

Download one of the ZIP files and extract the contents to this path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\Phoenix\Skins\P2 Default\WeatherBackgrounds

That folder contains a bunch of folders named 1, 2, 3, etc. The zip file is organized in this manner also. If you copy them all in you'll end up with almost 1200 different backdrops!

In theory you could also install the plugin "Gemstone y Optional Weather Backgrounds" and then just move/copy the files from...

SageTV\STVs\Gemstone\Weather\Backgrounds

to

SageTV\STVs\Phoenix\Skins\P2 Default\WeatherBackgrounds

I have not tried this but it looks like the folder structure is the same.

Would loading more images impact performance?

Nope.
