Ok success (of sorts) - it's working by and large.

A few glitches though:
- [EDIT I HAVE READ THE THREAD AND I THINK THIS IS EXPECTED] the first time I go into fullscreen mode, the screen is black, but a few seconds later the first image loads. This stays displayed indefinitely or a very long time
- [EDIT I HAVE READ THE THREAD AND I THINK THIS IS EXPECTED] If I then go out of fullscreen mode and back into it, this seems to kickstart things and away it goes, changing per the slideshow settings
- However, the z-order is wrong - this might be how I changed the skin file maybe? The slideshow pictures overlay over the track/time/rating info etc. There's no blending, just total overlay. Any tips on how to modify the skin file or is this intended (it doesn't look great like this to me!)
- When changing artists it can seem to get stuck for a bit, sometimes it shows a couple of pictures from the previous artist
- I enabled the artist info but then couldn't work out how to get it displayed, I presume this is a lack of skin modding?? Is there a spot I can work that out?
- Fallback image - apparently you can specify one, but can it by default fall back to the fanart image instead?

I don't know if these are Openelec related issues or just 'in development' issues. When it is working right it's really cool - I'm an ex. pro photographer and I used to assist a rock and roll photographer so I've got a more than passing interest in this stuff!

Thanks for your efforts and if there is anything I can do to help with this, let me know!
