Hi. I searched but couldn't find this. Is there work currently done to support multiple rotating fanarts? Meaning, randomly chosen fanart from a pool of fanarts you have for any given screen.
Mediaportal supports this, for instance.

Not currently possible without some slightly hacky skinning, SUI for example supports multiple tv show fanarts and even per-season fanart since it always looks for like
tvshowpath\fanart\
Which can be like Heroes\Season 1\fanart\ so its also possible to do per-season fanart with the same method.
Then it uses a multi-image from there. It's pretty far from ideal since it only works for local data sources, and it gets a bit weirded out in like all seasons or recently viewed views etc, still it's kind of neat.

Thanks for the answer. I imagined it could have been possible through skinning "tricks". But I figured out that it would be good to have it implemented natively.

ethan, here is alittle pseudocode to get you started. should be fairly easy:
dir *-fanart* into a stringlist
random from stringlist.size (to get a value from 0 to size-1)
loadfanart(stringlist.item(randomvalue))
