Is there any way to use the fanart files from individual movies or tv shows in my library as the home screen backdrops? Without manually copying these fanart files into a separate folder?
For example, if I hover over "Movies" it would cycle through the fanart of actual movies on my hard drive
Similarly, hover over "TV Shows" and it would cycle through fanart of actual TV shows on my hard drive
I wouldn't want some random movie or TV show to show up as a backdrop unless I'm able to watch it!
If the skin/xbmc were able to pull these files from the media library folders then it would be automated when the library changes if you delete/add a movie or tv show.
Examples of file structure is this:
C:\HTPC\Movies\The Fighter (2010)\
C:\HTPC\TV Shows\Dexter\Season 1\
If I set C:\HTPC\Movies\ as the backdrop source for slideshow, wouldn't it pull the poster.jpg and other images too?
Any ideas?
