ok, here's my first release, i hope it's useful/fun for people. it's been fun making it, learned a lot about xbmc and python which is always good!

there may be some issues with the screen sizing. it works ok on my pal tv. i may have over compensated on the screen width as my tv cuts off part of the egde.

can't provide a screenshot as yet, still trying to work out how to do that (any ideasHuh). anyway, a blueish background with a great big dilbert cartoon in the middle Wink

http://www.no-clutter.com/products/dilbert is my project page and http://www.no-clutter.com/downloads/file...rt0-1a.zip for the direct download.

it uses feedparser to grab the image url from an rss feed. the feed which i am using for this only currently has today's image. i'll upgrade this in the next version. also i've opted for the image library from pil to resize the sunday jpg as it is wider than the screen allows. not fully tested this one yet - i'll have to wait until sunday i guess.

enjoy.

can you not just press 'right thumbstick' on controller for screenshot?

looks good in ntsc 16x9 mode. however, it is too small in 1080i (1920x1080). can you scale the picture to higher resolution?
