Description

This patch adds support for mythui images to be pulled randomly from the fanart, coverart, and banners directories as defined by the front end mythvideo settings. It does not currently support storage groups. To use, simply add an imagestate to your ui xml and add a filename using of the special tags: %FANART% %BANNERART% or %COVERART%

Patches for fixes/0.24 and master are attached. Only the fixes/0.24 patch is tested as I do not currently have a box running master.

Patch is not acceptable, needs to support storage groups, and variable names should be "BANNERS" rather than bannerart, and screenshots need to be supported.

If you would do the preceding we can think about this, but using the legacy local locations is probably a non-starter.

Updated patch adds support for mythui images to be pulled randomly from any storage group. To use, simply add an imagestate to your ui xml and add a filename using of the special tag: %SG_<storage group name>%. Likely storage groups would be the special metadata groups, but any could be used. Storage group code will fall back to the Default group if the specified group does not exist and make up to 10 attempts at finding a random image file in the given group.

Patches for fixes/0.24 and master are attached. Only the fixes/0.24 patch is tested as I do not currently have a box running master.
