Hi guys - I've had a search through the forums, and couldn't find anything similar, so thought I'd throw this out there:
Would it be possible to get XBMC to auto generate fanart for movies that have no scrape-able images? Much the same way as thumbnails are retrieved for video that has no art associated with it, I don't think this would be too hard to implement, although I'm aware that it might not produce the highest quality images... but it might be better than the standard background loading every few movies.
Perhaps XBMC could also automatically apply a basic filter to the retrieved images and/or resize them?
I realise that this is an entirely aesthetic suggestion, and as such, there are probably a million-and-one things that need doing first, but it's something I'd very much like to see.
What do you think?
