Well, here it is:
http://codepad.org/iVClkXIG
Just look for "fanart". I made it long time ago... the idea behind was to set a property called Fanart (now I notice there's FanartNormal!!) and XBMC would do the rest. Also, on the launcher.xml, add a <fanart></fanart> property with the path of the fanart file.
It all revolves on:
I can't recall though, to do the fading I used the Transparency! skin and I think I had to edit some random XML to make it do the cross-fade. However, I bet that might be easier to add by more experienced people in a generic way to all skins like the videos section.
Hope to have this feature added in an official update!
EDIT: Also, is it possible to have videos as "fanart" ? it'd rock to have gameplay videos on the fanart display

listitem.setProperty('fanart_image',fan[0])
