Hi

Ive been adding fanart to fanart.tv and it won't show up in xbmc unless I delete the ArtistInformation folder for the artist in question. How often does the addon check if there's a new xml in each server with newer fanart?

Thanks,

"To keep the number of calls to the outside providers down, AS only updates cache files every couple of weeks. So if you immediately want updated information, you need to delete the particular cache file (or the entire cache folder in ArtistInformation)."

Hi there,

I've been using Artist Slideshow and it used to work up until today.
However, I had to reinstall the newest version 1.6 and since then it does not work anymore, even on a clean XBMC install. (XBMC v12.3, Windows 7, confluence skin using your 2 customized xml files).
I get an error whenever trying to run the script. Here the log below:

Well, I'm kind of replying to myself, but I've managed to get it working by changing the import statement and the calls from requests to requests2 in url.py.
In fact, it seems request2 is installed by addon.xml, but not requests, so the calls to requests in url.py didn't work.

There is probably some better solution to this issue, in which case I'll gladly take your advice.

That's the best fix for now. I'm submitting a new version to the repo right now. Apologizes for that. I tested this with a clean user data folder, but apparently the older requests module was still available somewhere on my system, so I never got that error.

And now there's a different problem. The fix I pushed into production now breaks on every machine I have claiming that the module requests2 doesn't exist. So I don't know which one is right. I checked the requests2 module, and according to the init.py it is still called requests even though the module is requests2. At this point I can't tell if AS is broken now for everyone or just me. In fact, I can't even install AS from the repo anymore (it says install failed, I'm hoping that's a temporary thing). I'll have to look at this later, but for now there's a pretty good chance that 1.6.1 is broken.

Could you post the exact changes to the code you made? When I try and import requests2 it tells me the module doesn't exist. The only way I can get the code to work is to download requests2 and then import requests. I know I don't have any other copy of requests on my system, because if I remove script.module.requests2 then I get an error saying the module requests doesn't exist. If I put script.module.requests2 back it works fine with import requests again.

Hi

Is this related to what you are discussing above?

Since it updated to 1.6.0 when I start to play an album it says ArtistSlideShow script failed, however it continues to work OK and the artists fanart images are displayed as normal.

New Beta Available

OK, I figured out why my test systems were causing me headaches when trying to import the requests2 module (I think). So version 1.6.1.1 should resolve all the import and global name errors from 1.6.0 and 1.6.1.

https://github.com/pkscout/script.artist...master.zip

If all goes well I will push this into production in the next day or so.

P.S. This release is English only. I noticed that basically all the translations from the transfix were out of date, so I had to delete them all. I'll start adding them back when it's clear to me that the source English files are actually being updated on that site. My apologies for those of you in other countries for the inconvenience.

FYI xbmc doesn't support 4digit version numbers

[cw-kid]

Thanks v1.6.1.1 seems to have stopped the error popping up now! I was on v1.6.0 before not sure if it updated itself to 1.6.1 though.

FYI xbmc doesn't support 4digit version numbers

The Artist SlideShow add-on beta / test versions are usually 4 digit version numbers. The ones released to the repo are all 3 digits.

I have been using this add-on for a while now with no problems, but I have recently ripped a new cd to FLAC as per all my cd rips and the extrafanart brings up a script error for this cd only. The cd is the new twilight forever love album?( for the wife honestly), and I had to manually create all the tags for this using mp3tag. I made an extrafanart folder within the artist folder as usual and downloaded a few images at 1920x1080. Everything is done exactly as all my other cds. Funny thing is if I check the 'use fallback folder' option and point it to the same extrafanart folder they work!!!!

It would be great to see a debug log of the problem album.
