[Enhancement] Support additional media types for ES-DE

[lukevp]

Request

Add support for the 3d boxart, box back covers, fan art, and title screen images

Rationale

• ES-DE themes on Android support displaying these various pieces of media in their themes, in addition to the current media types supported by Skyscraper
• Scraping directly in ES-DE results in those assets being available, but if you scrape with Skyscraper there's no way to make these asset types scraped
• screenscraper.fr has these additional media types available for many platforms

It would be interesting if there was a way to extend the supported media types in both the cache and the scraper layers, so that you could add your own media types dynamically and use that to accomplish the above. This would be helpful for example if someone wanted to scrape additional media types that aren't available in Skyscraper by default (like fan art).

Thanks for taking up the effort to continue to maintain Skyscraper! It's a really cool product, and I'm glad that it continues to exist and didn't end when Lars moved on to other things.

Funfact. I just released the Batocera frontend which supports fanart.
However, it won't work for ES-DE.

The 3d boxart, box back covers and title screens are only provided by Screenscraper.fr, or do other sources provide this set or a subset too? (like TGDB supports also fanart).

If fanart for ES-DE is the main concern it might be landing also in 3.18 release (as the whole cache logic is already there from the Batocera frontend).

Can you please provide a snippet from the directory tree at your ES-DE installation of these media types you are asking for? ES-DE does not hold any pointer to media files in the gamelist, they are expected to be "by contract" at a specific folder location.

PS: Thanks for giving me credits.

The fanart option just made it into the main/HEAD, @lukevp

awesome! great work.

sorry for the delay in my response, I'll check no the other options in ES-DE as soon as I have access to that device again.

Box back covers and fan art supported with 3.18.0

3D boxart and title screenshots may be done in a later release.

@lukevp Off-topic, but which ES-DE themes for Android did you remember supporting back covers?
