New Skin Feature: Video Backgrounds for MP2
Thanks to an idea of @chefkoch I extended our BackgroundManager Plugin to support video backgrounds. If you don't know what I mean, check the beautiful clips from http://dreamscene.org/.
The videos are played in background and will be auto-repeated. The video can be selected by the user in the settings section (Settings -> Appearance -> Skin -> Video background). Currently only the Reflexion skin makes uses of this feature.
The development is done in https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/tree/EXP-VideoBackground, but I hope this extension of the BackgroundManager plugin will be included in MP2 Alpha 2
.
