There are several ways to create a background fanart slideshow. The reFocus way is the most code consume since is not using only random fanart. In fact (as far i can understand from the code) the purpose is to show info for 7 random movies and 7 random episodes in a slideshow. The fanarts are coming along with those info. It is completely different that what we talking here and with more of 200 lines of code, instead of... 5-10.
IMHO the best way to do this is to "grab" the fanart database references and provide the property's to skinners to choose what they want to use.
You can also provide some kind of "use cached local files" option in addon settings (disabled by default) if someone wants the cached files locally stored and that's it. Nothing more. With a simple multiimage control you can have the type of the background fanart slideshow that you want.
In any case whatever you choose, thank you very much for your work.

PHP Code:
RunScript(script.fanart.grabber, mediatype=videos or movies or tvshows or music, mode=random or recent)
