In a video addon, I'd love for a directory listing of shows to be able to pull the appropriate thumbnail image from an http location vs. a local location (this is in the context of the SageTV addon I'm helping with).
Is there a way to somehow set a thumbnail to a http path? I am using setThumbnailImage just fine with locally based image files... but I can't get it to work when passing in an http path.
Maybe there's a way to "cache" or download the image from the URL first somehow and then point to that local path? Maybe there's another way?
Thoughts?
PS I'm using Frodo alpha 4 on Windows 32 bit
