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.

Hi gjwAudio,

I will take this into account, but will probably not implement on short notice. It will be another external dependency that I have to maintain. I would like to reduce the number of dependencies a bit as there is a lot of work involved in keeping everything working and up to date.

But let me have a think about it.

Helly.
