Yes, I might not have been clear - it's actually 2 issues.
The rss portion is going to be on the home screen(s). Actually two separate feeds for sure (one for the tv feed, and one for the movies feed) but I would like it to be configurable for others down the road. On the home screens it should show a list of the feed (the pad in the lower left corner) and when an item is selected, pull the full text of that item (perhaps pictures if the are available?) as in the second screen shot above.
My comments about the recently added and random item script are actually a separate issue.
Recentlyadded: I need to be able to pull only 3 items (as shown in the tv and movie mockups) with the "more" button displaying the full list of recently added items. I'm not sure if this behavior is currently support by the script or not.
Random item: I need to be able to pull multiple type of random items (so far random movie, random tv show, random episode, random actor, and random director) in addition, for random actor and random director I would like to set a threshold of the times they appear in the database for them to be considered. For instance, I have 50,000 or so actors in the database. I only want to display actors that appear in say more than 3 movies at random. This way we can only see more popular "stars" instead of every extra who ever appeared in a film. For the director, I add the additional hurdle of wanting to add fan art from one of their films to the results.
On to of that, another technical hurdle I introduced is that I would like to be able ton have actor "fan art" if possible. Not sure at all how that would fit in.
