Ok no probs - I might come back to this once I have an Eden install to play with. Thanks for your help in any case, looks like a great plugin.

hi ronie, i'm using artistslideshow and aeon nox on last nightly.
i have a doubt, i read the topic and the post about how the script works (xbmc will keep using this (and only this)......)
i noticed that in my xbmc i see always an image for artist even if i listen a lot of songs of the same artist.
the doubt is this. my files are in a server and from the client, where xbmc runs, i don't write in it (i want so) i set "only read" attribute.
i searched but i haven't find the pictures downloaded from "artistslideshow" (i found a folder named "artislideshow" in C:\Users\Peppe\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails but it is empty) and i tought that it download them in the mp3 folders (but it can't write).
if it is so i'll see only the first image (that it re-downloads each time and puts in a temp folder waiting for the other images that never arrive).
it is so?
i read fastly something about smb write from machine sanctorum and i don't understand if it is my same thing.
in the end it is my favourite plugin. great work.

several people have reported it, but i can't reproduce it,
so hard to fix.
maybe it's only happening on windows?

the script just takes the artist tag and sends it to last.fm.
if they don't return any info for "A and B" or "A&B",
i'm afraid there's nothing i can do about it.

Hey Ronie - jsut an update. I got it all sorted with Openelec 1.0.2 / Confluence - the main thing is to give the script a bit of time with each artist then to pop in and out of fullscreen mode to re-trigger it. Works really well then.
My problems with the skin were putting the control too low in the skin file, apparently that affects the Z order.
I don't have the bio side working but I presume I'd need a lot more going on in the skin for that...this will do for Dharma so until I move to Eden....
Many thanks.

i still find it weird that several people have that issue.
i can't reproduce it at my end.

Meaning for you the first time you play an artist it starts bringing up multiple pictures? Further back in this thread you described it working the way I mention (loading the first, then requiring a trigger to get the slideshow to refresh...)
Maybe it's a Dharma vs. Eden thing?

there should be no need to exit and enter the fullscreen window.
the slideshow should autostart once all images have been downloaded.
