theme.OverhangSliceHD on roPosterScreen issue

This works on the grid screen:
theme.GridScreenOverhangSliceHD = "pkg:/images/Overhang.jpg"


This does not work on the poster screen:
theme.OverhangSliceHD = "pkg:/images/Overhang.jpg"


However, this does work on the poster screen:
theme.OverhangPrimaryLogoHD = "pkg:/images/OverhangLogo.png"


Any idea why the overhang isn't showing up on the poster screen? It's showing the default blue gradient.

    Verify your filename is correct for theme.OverhangSliceHD = "pkg:/images/Overhang.jpg" - case sensitive. Power cycle the roku to make sure it's not trying to use a cached image with that name. Make sure it's a valid JPG file and that it doesn't exceed the maximum size of the image. PNG will work too, but since you have an issue with Overhang.jpg, I simply said JPG.

    OverhangSliceSD
    Overhang width SD: 720
    suggested maximum Overhang height SD: 83
    enforced maximum Overhang height SD: 92

    OverhangSliceHD
    Overhang width HD: 1280
    suggested maximum Overhang height HD: 124
    enforced maximum Overhang height HD: 138

    It's the same as the grid screen, which works fine, so I know it's not the path, filename, height, etc.

    It could be a cache issue. I didn't power cycle it and I'm not able to test it again right at this moment, but when I was testing this, changes would take effect, like the logo on the poster screen and the overlay on the grid screen.

    If I make a bunch of changes to the overhang images, I need to power cycle the roku box (if it's in the pkg) for poster screens. Luckily, my graphics designer has a sizing template now that he uses to get the graphics correct the first time. - much less power cycling that way. I'd be interested in any way to force-refresh or a way to force-clear the cache on a poster screen sometime but I don't know of any right now.

    Just had it tested on clean power cycle and it's still showing the default blue overhang.

    Any other ideas?

    If you have something like
    App=CreateObject("roAppManager")
    theme=CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
    theme.overhangslicehd="pkg:/images/Overhang.jpg"
    app.SetTheme(theme)

    before the poster screen is displayed with .show, then is your roku really set to HD?
    It could be that you have an sd image copy of the hd graphic for the gridscreen and no overhangslicesd defined for the poster screen?
    Otherwise, no I have no more ideas. Maybe someone else has the reason for it.
