Add fanart slideshow as home background #42

Closed hessius closed 10 years ago

hessius commented 10 years ago

Hey, switched to immersive from nbox which has a great fanart slideshow home background, I think this could go great with Immersive as well, preferably with some sort of dimming with the same color as the rest of the theme.

It seems like the whole home fanart thing can be found here https://github.com/niamu/skin.nbox/blob/8c424cd34df9ef925fe686271e83da5a0b26931f/720p/Includes.xml

Shouldn't be too hard to add it in to this theme (I'll have a try but I don't have a clue about how to achieve the dimming?)

Small update: adding the HomeBackground from the Includes.xml to homeincludes.xml here and including it instead of generic background (or what it was called) only produces a black background, I suspect the fanart stuff isn't generic and need to be imported from somewhere else.

Cleaner solution might be using https://github.com/robweber/script.grab.fanart - See discussion @ http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=166572

Will try this tomorrow and report back with results, if anyone wants to help me out, drop me a line ;)

Ok, so that script isn't needed, can be implemented through skin widgets, will start implementing on my repo and make a pull later (and stop spamming here)

Added support for the Fanart Grabber addon in the latest update. I looked into using Skin Widgets but preferred the Fanart Grabber process more.
