Hello!
I'd like to write my first Python script to fetch a random movie background (even for movies not in the user's library) from TMDb and set it as the XBMC home background on startup.
It would possibly refresh after some configurable time or with a user action.
I don't have any background in XBMC scripting, so I'm not sure if this kind of functionality would depend on the skin being used (I'm using Aeon Nox), or would be skin-independent (would be better).
I also read some documentation but could not find any built-in function that allows me to change the background, so I don't even know where to start.
I'll gladly make public what I'll manage to build once stable enough
Thank you
