Cheers, have sent MrC a message via the forum requesting the source be opened and if not possible outlining the feature request:

Hi,
I'm interested in integrating python with Vortex, however I didn't realise the source for Vortex is closed:
http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=421158

Is there a chance of opening the source ?


If not I'd still like to request a feature

Feature request:
Ability to kick off a python script that will return an image to be used as a texture.

I imagine this as similar to the album art functionality.
- Angel script kicks off named python script
- Python script fetches image (probably off net)
- Python script passes back downloaded file location.

It would be useful for the python script to be passed metadata such as -
- track playing (uri, album, trackname, artist etc)


I'd envision scripts being written to fetch images from flickr, google, morguefile, local filesystem etc.
