Kodi 20+Skin AeonMQ 9, Artist Slideshow addon dont work. If I change to standard skin, ASS works.
Any suggestion, how can I improve the compatibility of ASS in Skin Aeon MQ9?

The wiki page for the addon has all the needed information for a skin to make sure of the window variables AS creates.

@Park I run Artist Slideshow with Aeon MQ 9 Nexus Mod but AFAIK there is no problem with it running on the plain Aeon MQ9 on Nexus either. Make sure you are running the latest version of Artist Slideshow for Nexus - 3.3.6.

Thank you for your quick response. I have seen your wiki, but I cant find the necessary "MusicVisualisation.xml" for the changes. The skin runs on a Rpi4 with libreelec 11.0.6.

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the Aeon MQ 9 mod runs not stable on the rpi4, it crashes from time to time.

Hello. First of all, thank for awesome addon.
Since quite some time audiodb actually supports 4 pictures for an artist. However, Artist Slideshow never really gets the 4th pic - it gets only pictures 1 to 3. Would there be a chance for a code change which would get all 4 of them?

No problem.  It's literally a one character fix (to change the number 3 to the number 4 in a loop).  I'll do the pull request to update the addon in the Kodi repo today.  It usually takes a week or so for someone to do the review and then merge it.

Once the code is updated, you have to wait for the cache file to expire before it'll grab the fourth image.  If you want to force it, you need to delete the information folder for every artist you want to get the image more quickly, which might be kind of a pain.  So really, I would just wait.  The caches expire in 1 - 2 weeks (they're a little random to even out load on the image services).

Hi all,

It has been a while since I last installed AS. And now, after installing AS on a fresh Kodi install, I see the initial message:

"The default behavior is to display music information for 10 seconds after a song is played or the next track in your queue begins. To display permanently reactivate the info and do not toggle it off a second time."

This is where I remember having struggled with this setting before.
My question with this is: when mentioning this "info toggle", is this referring to a Kodi setting OR an AS setting?
In Kodi I see this toggle: System, Media, Music, General, "Switch to visualisation on playback"
In AS I cannot find something equal.

So, I presume that an AS setting is referred to, because Artist Slideshow and "Visualisation" are two different things.
Only I cannot find it...

It's not really a setting.  In Kodi when you start playing music the screen that shows the artists comes up, and the info displays.  If it goes away and you want to keep it, you need to hit 'i' on your keyboard (or whatever the equivalent on your remote is).  That will bring that info display back up and leave it up.  Kodi remembers the last config for that, so if you manually bring up the info display once, it will always come up and stay there.

Thanks for your reply. So do I understand correctly than;  this "configuration" influences Kodi behaviour only and not so much AS behavior?
I would like very much AS to stay visible including the controls at the top of the screen when playback starts.
Is this not effectuated with the configuration in question then?
If yes, I understand what to do. If not, I'm still not sure how to achieve above mentioned behaviour (of AS being visible permanently with the controls)

This is a Kodi/skin behavior.  For clarity, Artist Slideshow shows nothing.  It only provides the skin a path to an image file to show.  All the display is up to the skin.  What I described in my previous post is how you achieve that with the default Estuary skin.  If you have other questions about the display of information, you need to post that in the thread for the skin you are using.

Also, please don't private message me with links to your responses.  I visit the forum pretty regularly and do try and keep up with the threads for the addons I maintain.  I don't do private message support, and I don't need extra notifications about posts to threads I'm checking.
