Hi Kristian, Thanks for your interest in Elisa, and on hacking for Elisa!
I'm very sorry nobody has answered that question yet, but the thing is: it's a tricky one. The problem is that the present architecture of the player does not allow for a lot of control from plugins. For now, the displaying of these images, as well as a lot of other things that should be specific to some plugins, is handled entirely in the player. To make it possible to put an image in the background of the player from a plugin, we would need to do quite some refactoring work in the PlayerController (in poblesec/player_video.py; yes, the file is called player_video, but that's what's used for music as well), and in particualr in its (huge) _player_status_cb() method. I don't know if anyone has planned to do such a thing, but reworking the player is definitely something we should do sooner than later, right now, it's next to properly interact with it from a plugin... So, in a nutshell, if you haven't figured out how to do it, and if nobody was able to tell you how to do it, that's simply because it's not possible. Of course, if you have time to spend working on that (non trivial) task of refactoring the player, we would be happy to advise you and to review a patch.
