In the home screen, it would be very beautiful to have separate series of backgrounds for TVShows and Movies.
This is possible with video-fanart-splitter (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=56153), but you'll have to be able to set a custom folder for the backgrounds.

For my own purposes I've hacked the custom_SkinSetting_1111.xml (at the time), so that when you pressed the "Default Image button" button for Movies/TVShows it did the following:

Skin.SetString(Home_Custom_Back_Movies_Folder,special://profile/Thumbnails/Custom/Movies)

Skin.SetString(Home_Custom_Back_TVShow_Folder,special://profile/Thumbnails/Custom/TV)

Would it be possible, that besides a default image button there is a "Custom" button so you can enter this path manually?
Or can this be done in a totally better way al together?
