[RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration)

hurricane51 · 2013-05-16 04:42

Hmmm. I don't think it's a permissions issue. I have a higher permission level on this PC than on my main XBMC system. The only add-ons are ones that install automatically when Artist Slideshow is installed, plus the XBMC log uploader. and a few skins. The media drives have virtually no restrictions. Originally it was a fresh install (that's when I first posted). It didn't work them. I installed Frodo over it, but it still didn't work. I deinstalled everything, but maybe I didn't find a piece of Frodo left over. I'll try installing it on a fresh PC that has never seen XBMC in any flavor.

Hi,

I am having some problems to get artist information. Almost all my albums got the same artist info and art.Tried to change scrapper and make a "query info for all artists" but got the same result. When I make a refresh, the query seems to complete normally but the artwork and information keeps wrong.
Please find the logs and a screenshot.

This is happening since I bought another disk drive (different than OS and XBMC installation one) and started adding music on it...

There is nothing in that log snippet about ArtistSlideshow, but you do have some SQL errors about a missing database and some texture manager errors when trying to load stuff from D:\ With the information you provided it looks to me like you have a more significant issue. You may want to post your issue in the Windows support forum.

Hi

Another crash when starting playback of a movie trailer whilst I had music playing. Often happens either when stopping playback first or just starting playback of something else.

Code:

Hello! I need the custom itemseparator support because my files use "/" as separator and not " / ". I see that 1.5.1 beta supports it but is apparently not released. Do you plan to release it soon?

I don't think you can. I used github for the code repo, and you *might* be able to go through all my commits and download an older one, but I don't keep archives of the old versions, so there's no telling what you'll get if you do that.

Why do you need an older version?

I don't have a schedule for release. I'm kind of in a "life happens" time (moving, new job, etc). And there are some outstanding bugs with 1.5.1 I definitely have to resolve before it moves forward. I'd say it'll be at least another month before 1.5.2 (I use even numbers for actual releases and odds for the betas) is released.

You can try the beta if you'd like. It's at:

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

The two issues of which I know:

1- the unicode support for international characters is iffy in some instances
2- sometimes the new way of parsing the artists causes AS to think there is nothing playing and/or crashes AS

In both cases the end result is that after those problems occur your artist pictures don't update when you change artists. So it's not like it crashes XBMC.
