Artist Slideshow - Random genre fanart - OlegArh - 2020-07-25
Hi all
How do I configure random genre fanart to be displayed when playing from this folder?
[split] pkscout's Estuary mod (with Artist Slideshow Support) - MrPatate - 2020-07-25
Hello and Thanks for this addon.
I use a skin which is no up to date from sometimes now and i want to use your addon, for this i modify thé musicvisualisation.xml of the skin and i was able to have slide show of artist fanarr on music payer screen.
But.....
When i came back to the home screen thé slide show stop and i have thé warning message from the addon update on black background.
I think i must made change on an other XML file but don't know witcj and how.
I using kodi 18.7 on and android tv (shield tv) with eminance 2.0 mod skin,but i was not able to have more result.
Could someone give me the step to Enable slideshow on home screen to !?
RE: Artist Slideshow - Random genre fanart - pkscout - 2020-07-25
If you want images from the mucic genres\fanart\ folder to always show regardless of other available artist artwork, set it as the override slideshow.
P.S. I'm going to request that the mods merge this into the AS support thread.
RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - jjd-uk - 2020-07-25
@pkscout threads merged as requested, and I noticed another one.
@MrPatate as your issue seems to be with the Artist Slideshow addon and not the Estuary Mod that includes Artist Slideshow addon (since you state you use eminance 2.0 ) I've moved you post here.

I tried setting it up like this, but it's not the same.
Now if the artist's fanart is missing, the genre fanart is displayed (for example, a song-the genre fanart rock, rock1, rock2.. rock10 is displayed). The next song is again displayed fanart rock, rock1, rock2.. rock10.How do I set up the rock11 fanart to be displayed on the next song?

I had version 3.2.1 installed, reinstalled to version 3.2.4 Beta. Now on Blues genre fan art is displayed together (Rock, Blues, and so on) Is this the plan?
