Release Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration)
I will look into it, and let you know. Thanks for your quick answer. I am using the Aeon MQ5 addon at the moment. Maybe this skin is not fully 100% working on the Kodi Alpha 2 version.

Yea, I forgot to mention that I don't move any of my development machines to the "next" version of Kodi until they hit beta, so I won't be able to help much on issues until then. As you said though, it sounds like AS is working fine. It's just a matter of what choices you want to make on how to fill the screen while images are downloading.

Hi pkscout, I´m new here so first of all I wanted to say thanks for all your good work. Your AS addon is greatly appreciated.

The reason I write is because yesterday, when I turned on my XBMC Gotham 13.2 htpc, the AS was automatically updated from 1.6.8 to 1.6.9 and rigth away the system asked to disable it because dependencies where not met.

I tried uninstalling it and install again but now the addon is marked "incompatible" in the XBMC.org repo. I also tried your beta repo and it is also marked incompatible there. Please help.

Your last version AS work only on gothan ? Im ask becouse on my primscube box now is only frodo but will be nice still used your great addon.

I think it is working now :-) I tested it, and sometimes it is black for a few seconds, but after that the local images appear, and after a second of 20, the artist images start again. But I am still discovering and experimenting a lot with Kodi itself. If I have the audio stream, and I choose for example not artist and slideshow, but just fanart, the screen stays black. But hey, your plugin is working.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled AS on one of my machines, and it seems to be fine here. You might want to try doing a forced refresh of the main XBMC repo and see if that takes care of it.

1.6.5 should still be available in the Frodo repo, and that version has all the core features. The only thing 1.6.5 is missing is the ability to download artist thumbnails from htbackdrops and fanart.tv and the new fanart.tv api.

I think I'm going to have to release a version of 1.6.9 for Frodo, as I just realized they want to remove one of the modules I use. Since I don't have a Frodo install anymore, I need to figure out how to test that though.

Well I don't know what happened, but today AS is no longer marked incompatible. I just reinstalled and it works fine. Thanks.

Just as an FYI, I have put in a pull request to have the Frodo version updated to 1.6.9. I had to do a little work to get it all to be compatible and test it, but it's done. Please note that 1.6.9 will be the last update of AS for Frodo.

I just installed 1.6.9 on Gotham and it's working, except I'm having a problem when playing music over AirPlay. It downloaded artwork for the first artist I played, but now it just shows that artwork for all artists. It sounds like the same issue discussed in posts 737 and 738 in this thread. A regression, perhaps?

Edit: Nevermind... I enabled debugging to get a log and, strangely, it started working!

Hi
Thanks for this add-on is great Big Grin
I have a request. Can you add a small modification.
When I listen to the radio tags are show as artist-name (no spaces) and AS does not recognize the artist.
Maybe the code:
default.py
(...)
line 333
try:
    playingartist = playing_song [0: (playing_song.find ('-')) - 1]
except RuntimeError:
(...)
convert to:
(...)
 try:
    playing_song playingartist = [0: (playing_song.find ('-'))]
    playingartist = playingartist.strip ()
except RuntimeError:
(...)
It works for me.
Maybe something needs to be modified, but I don't know python.
I have a second request. Is the AS may download ClearLOGO from fanart.tv? It would be wonderful.Huh
Thanks a lot!

Which streaming service is this? I might be able to do something different, but I need to have a service with which I can test.

Artist Slideshow is meant to display images of the artists, not download all the various kinds of art available. If you want something like that, there are other add ons that will download clear art, album art, and all that other stuff.

Hi pkscout...

Streaming service:
http://91.121.89.153:8250

Of course you are right that other add-ons downloading all different kinds of art, but this is done only for the local library (not for streaming service). It would be nice while listening to music with a streaming service to watch the artist ClearLOGO.
I would have done little mod in the skin and it would be perfect.
AS works perfectly.
However, can you give to convince?
AS could download clearlogo to temporary folder (for example ArtistClearlogo in (..) \ addon_data \ script.artistslideshow \), or share the link (same as AS for similar artists).
I would be very grateful.

Hi

I installed the Pkscout add-on beta channel repo - artist slideshow add-on just says its version 1.6.9

I am currently up to date ? Or is there a download URL somewhere for the very latest beta version?

I'm having issues with XBMC Gotham OpenElec 4.0.7 crashing and restarting XBMC when playing music, probably not related to artist slideshow but just wanted to check the current version.

Thanks

1.6.9 is current.

OK great!

Seems strange my main HTPC plays music perfectly fine, the two upstairs seem to crash out XBMC a lot when playing music, they are all using the same versions of software. Will have to dig deeper in to the log files, I can't see anything obvious in them at the moment. Should XBMC put anything in to the log file when it bombs out and restarts? Normally for Artist SlideShow issues I just search for the word "exception" but none are found, maybe its some other issue.

Cheers

EDIT: I did enable debugging in the AS settings also as well as XBMC debug logging.

EDIT 2: haha I spoke too soon, the main HTPC just crashed and restarted XBMC whilst playing music.

EDIT 3: Wondering if it might be related to the Lyrics add-on

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1790930

EDIT 4:

Just crashed again the very last line entered in to the XBMC log is in reference to AS. But I don't think AS is causing the issue, not sure what is.

Below is a snippet for the song that was playing when XBMC bombed out and restarted. The Lyrics add-on reported it found lyrics for this track OK.

Seems to be happening more often and with various different albums. There are lots of these errors in the log:

ERROR: Control 110 in window 13001 has been asked to focus, but it can't

Not sure what is related to AS and what isn't.

Thought it might be network related but I am streaming a Blu-ray ISO movie now without any problems.
