If the picture is smaller than 1080, don't use it

The problem isn't figuring out which images to use. That is easy. The problem is that AS has to give the skin a FOLDER reference of images to show, and the skin will then show EVERY IMAGE in that folder.  So yes, I can figure out which images are fanart, but then they have to be copied to another folder, potentially over the network.  And if the song has multiple artists I have to put all the images from multiple artists in one folder, and rename then all (because Fanart1 will be a duplicate name). Oh and the folder name probably has to be unique to avoid caching problems.  And no image can show until that's all done, so there will be a delay if there's an artist with lots of images.  And then at the end everything has to be cleaned up.

It's possible, sure.  What I'm trying to figure out is if it's worth the time to support a feature that is fundamentally not compatible with the way AS has worked for, well, ever.
