Hmm, I've seen it flash like it's trying to do that but it still just leaves the one picture. Pop in and out and away it goes. Anyway, no bother at all really, and I will be quite happy like this until I re-evaluate things come Eden time....

Thanks!

Can someone help me with the following issue:

When playing my music in the main screen there aren't any images only a blank box is showing.

This is my pastebin.log : http://pastebin.com/j6q5bMZt

Thanks.

hey, which skin are you using?
i don't think it's a bug in the script..
it could be a skin bug or maybe some skin setting that needs to be enabled.

I think one advantage of the current system is last.fm hosts tonnes of images, and often, of more obscure artists. honestly, like the other day I got a picture of the sonic hedgehog music composer come up, brilliant! Smile

True, but if you look at AEONMQ3 skin, they somehow download LastFM images and put them in this nice little box and rotate them on the Now Playing screen. This way you don't even notice the low res aspect of them. I think it's the only skin that does this.

ok, i don't now how the script is implemented in that skin,
but maybe you need to switch to the fullscreen visualization window
before the script starts downloading images.
if i check your log, the script isn't started at all.

ask around in the Aeon MQ3 thread for more details. :-)

Every time I go to now playing and hit tab I get an error that says

Error!

script failed artist.slideshow


I have no idea why it does that, and most of the time I dont even get a single image in the background, just a black screen. Any way i can fix this?

Im using aeon nox btw

I was getting this because I'm using an old pre-eden build (with audio engine updates). I had addon auto update enabled and one day I started seeing the script failures. Artist slideshow was updated and was not compatible with my build. I reverted back to a version of the script that works for Dharma and turned off addon auto updates. It solved my problems.

First... Really like this addon! Thanx!

Now, I often play radio stations on my xbmc, and they use the Title to type who's playing..
Then the Artist 'tag' is empty so the addon won't get any images...

I changed 'getArtist()' to 'getTitle()' ... and now it gets images when I'm playing radio stations...

Only thing is that now it wont get any images when I play mp3's..

I'm a noob when it comes to phyton so I dont know how to get both..?

I guess it would be 'if getArtist() is empty then getTitle()' ..??

How do I type that for phyton?

Thanx again for a great addon!
