All of these details work with Playlists.

If no background is specified the script will look in the library's [Image Asset Directories](../../home/guides/assets) for a folder named either the collection/playlist name or the `name_mapping` if specified and look for a `background.ext` file in that folder (replacing .ext with the image extension).
