11/27 UPDATE - this has been released, thanks to the developer you may download Here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcposterdisp/




Not sure if this would be a video addon, picture addon, web addon or something else. I saw a theater setup that had a portrait tv installed outside the theater room, it would automatically display the poster art and run times of the movie playing inside the theater room:

Have we got an addon that allows something like this?

Cool!
When you launch a movie with ipad constellation, the video playing is being shown..
So just setup your ipad as portrait and you have the same

I'll have to look up Ipad constellation. I don't have an Ipad though, been using the xbmc remote app on my android tablet.

Sorry, it took me a while to make an official post on this forum. Below is my original post from avsforum for anyone who doesnt want to bother following the link.

In the process of building my home theater, I decided that I wanted to have a secondary display acting as a virtual movie poster to display information about the currently playing media as well as posters for movies coming soon. I was unable to find any software to do what I wanted so i set out to make my own. MoviePoster is intended to be run on a display in portrait mode and supports its own rotation mechanism for PCs that don't have native screen rotation support.
The application connects to to xbmc using the JSONRPC interface to get information about the currently playing media. When no media is playing it will display movie posters for upcoming films either downloaded from themoviedb.org or loaded from a local cache.
Trailers can be streamed from youtube using links provided in themoviedb metadata. There is also a web based remote control interface for changing posters, activating trailers and creating custom poster lists.
