This idea is based on when your looking at a movie or tv show episode etc.

&nbsp;

When your looking at the description, actor names, dates, etc. There is a picture in the background, but it only shows one at a time and if you want to see another you have to manually change it.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I have multiple backdrops for most all movies, as well as fanart.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

My idea is;&nbsp;

To make use of those extra backdrops, fan art, and just turn them into a slideshow while looking at the description.

This is a great feature if you don't want to keep space for all the trailers, or just don't want them.

Backdrops are a great way to show off the title with the extra art and get a feel for the title, and make the description page a little more dynamic.

Something KODI has had for years now (with proper skin support that is).
