i've seen many requests on the forum lately from users who'd like to have a slideshow in the music visualization screen.
divingmule created the excellent Last.FM-SlideShow but it runs as a picture-plugin and can't be used in the visualization window.
so i did a complete re-write of his script in a way that it allows for easy skin integration and can be started automatically when entering the visualization screen.
i've combined it with the ImageCacher script from grajen3, that will cache all the images downloaded from last.fm to your harddrive.
(benefit: if you play a song by the same artist again, the images won't have to be re-downloaded, so no more waiting for the download to finish)
download and install the script, using the addon browser in xbmc.
and you may need a modified version of the musicvisualisation screen for your skin:
if you come across any issues, please pastebin your log file.
as soon as i'm confident this script won't ruin your pc, i'll do a proper release
together with information for skinners how to integrate it in their skins.

- T! svn: just update to the latest svn version
