I must be going crazy. I have added a multiimage control to the homescreen and I want it to show a slideshow of random fanart from my library.
I have always succesfully used:
<imagepath>special://userdata/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart/</imagepath>
as a path.
But I can't get anything to show up.
All was working fine before, now after creating a new XBMC install this won't show any fanart.
Has this changed?

This is an option:
<thumb>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(RandomMovie.1.Art(fanart))]</thumb>
But then I'd have to choose between different content-types.
Any chance of multiimage controls using multiple paths?

In laymans terms please, when the timer runs out it.. moves the list focus? I don't understand.

You start a timer, for instance when a window is loaded:
<onload>AlarmClock(name_of_the_timer,Control.Move(50,1)),00:10,silent,loop)</onload>
This tells the container with ID 50 to move 1 position after 10 seconds without notification and after that start over
And the container with ID 50 has the image controls like:
<icon>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(RandomMovie.1.Art(fanart))]</icon>
and so on

At one point there was going to be some image:// directory VFS added for grabbing all art for a particular media type, but it didn't make it in (presumably as you can grab art via JSON-RPC now).
@vdrfan was the one that coded it up IIRC.
