Fanart Slideshow in MediaInfo3 View
Hi Helly
Way back in the "old days"... there was a way (maybe a hack ?) to have images in a local "extrathumbs" folder display as a rotating slideshow, when viewing Movies in your Library with the MediaInfo3 view.
I'm not too clear on the internal improvements to Kodi's image handling, but I believe recent work has expanded the number of image-types that are recognized by the system. Much effort has been expended by rmrector, who has created the Artwork Beef addon - an expansion of the functions available from the venerable Artwork Downloader.
rmrector has created a script that may be of use in creating the type of slideshow I'm referring to. The script is here: https://github.com/rmrector/script.artwork.helper
This is a "nice to have" request, and one I expect will take some time to code/implement - so naturally "when you have the time" is when I'd expect it to debut
Perhaps you can look at the possibility and put it on your list.
Thanks Helly, for considering my request.
