[WIP] New Confluence Skin for XNEWA

[pkscout]

@pkscout would it be possible for you to add for a fullscreen background image texture for fanart which sub just added to his api. I can add a fixed image but nothing that works with $INFO[ListItem.Property(fanart)]

I don't think what you are asking can be done. Or at least the fact the PVR plugin now sends that information to Kodi doesn't affect how we'd need to do it. I walked through a fair amount of the PVR plugin code, and it looks like the fanart pointer only gets sent to Kodi in certain circumstances, and I don't think it's stored anywhere in Kodi that you can get to with a skin property. The only way I can think to get fanart into XNEWA is if NEWA has a call to do it. Then we could treat the fanart just list posters.

Or did I miss something really basic in the original question?

Ok I was wondering if I could pass the url to the skin and let the skin load the image as a blackground process, much like VideoDialog.xml (I think) does. If I can't then x-newa could cache it like posters, but I don't know if the background process would work for cached files too I didn't want to slow scrolling down.

I'll look at it again this weekend if I have a chance, but it looks like the URL the PVR plugin uses has login information (or a login token) that may be unique to the PVR process.

UJB and sub worked it out so that x-newa logins and pass the correct sid and client parameters in the URL when required.
