What if, as an additional option for those who have limited or no trivia slides of their own, the script could scrape random trivia from IMDB and display that? It wouldn't be question and answer, but they have a lot of interesting tidbits there. See here for an example: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/trivia
If we could just scrape those randomly, then display them over a default trivia background, that would be pretty neat.
Perhaps it would be possible for it to limit the trivia to the top 1000 most popular movies or so. Also, if we looked around, who knows, maybe we could find a good question/answer site for movie trivia to scrape from as well.
Anywho, great job so far guys. I'm very glad to see this script isn't dying.
+1 on this idea. This is a great idea to have xbmc scrape for trivia.
