Movie name of random background art - DNL1960 - 2014-12-07

When in the Movies and the random background art cycles through the movies, is there a way to find out the name of the movie for the background art being shown?

Unfortunately I can only think of 3 ways to do this. The 1st being you choose the art yourself so you know which movie the fanart belongs to, the 2nd is not have random art and show the fanart for the movie you've selected, and the 3rd is to always have the debug log set to on and check if the log shows that info timestamped somehow.
I can not think of any other ways to get that particular info. I hope that helps in some way.

You really do learn something new everyday. To make this an option would you overlay the script.grab.fanart.Movie.Title or Global.Title as a label property?
