RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2018-01-10
And now 2.1.0~beta2 is available. Of course I found a problem right after uploading beta1. '-)
RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - hoschilo - 2018-01-11
Works like a charm here! All my previous UTF-Errors gone so far, proper switching now to merge directory also in case that for last featured artists no images have been downloaded. Will continue with testing.
Thank you!

Looks pretty good, I did have 10 hash files ending up in the ArtistSlideshow, I could find the hash number in the log but only in the "retrieve artists from dataset" but are never found again in the log by either artist name or hash name. But other than that no errors.
Looks I can rename 6 folders. I assume I create a folder in both ArtistSlideshow, and ArtistInformation. Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks!!

But other than that no errors.That should do it. The only thing to watch out for when manually creating folders is that it has to exactly match what Kodi has in the database and if you have any characters that give the OS problems (like /) you need to name it using the replace character you specified in the AS settings.

Is it possible to have recursive scan option (or as standard) for "fallback slideshow folder"?

(2018-01-14, 12:36)hoschilo Wrote: Is it possible to have recursive scan option (or as standard) for "fallback slideshow folder"?I probably could, but I need to decide if I can make time to do the coding work. AS only sets the folder that Kodi will display, and Kodi only shows images in the root of the designated folder. So to do a recursive display I'd have to write something that copies all the files in every folder to another directory and then use that one. That's actually what happens when you have multiple artists on a song.
RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - hoschilo - 2018-01-14
oh I see, I thought it would be easier as Kodi has this option available when starting slide show in pictures. If I remember correctly the command is Recursiveslideshow(folder).
By the way merging folders of my desired fallback folder would require huge additional space, I rather would not choose this option.

If I remember correctly the command is Recursiveslideshow(folder).I'll check into that. I just submitted a pull request to move 2.1.0 to the official repo, so it definitely will have to wait for 2.1.1.

edit: Skins use a tag called multiimage to display a folder of images. That control does not have an option for recursive. It looks like that recursive option is only available for Picture slideshows in pictures.

Artist Slideshow 2.1.0 Coming to Official Repo Soon
The new version of AS should be appearing in the official repo in the next few days or so. As a reminder, here's what's new in 2.1.0.
- updated AS to save and use unhashed artist and image names
- created upgrade routine to rename hashed artist and image names
- included new option to ONLY use local artist path for storage
- cleaned up folder path creation routines
- removed old download exclusion logic in favor of new _imgdb.nfo history
If you have my beta repo installed, you should get the new version next time your Kodi instance scans for updated addons. There were no changes from 2.1.0~beta2 to 2.10 final.

Kyle,
Thanks for all your continued effort on this! Love it!
One thing I keep forgetting to ask: is it possible to add a "Download all images regardless of resolution" option for theaudiodb.com too? I'd be great if Artist Slideshow could grab those 1:1 artist thumbnails too!
Thanks,
Kevin Sartori

Yes any artist search on theaudiodb should show all artwork on the single JSON response. Currently:

Over the last week I have updated the backgrounds for a few artists on both Fanart.tv and the AudioDB, I am not seeing the new artwork in the slide show.
Artwork has been approved at Fanart.tv
rebooted PI
anything else I can do?

When the fanart.TV has a delay, a delay is getting my API key up and running, getting the artwork into the database and back out to my PI or something else?
some of the fanart has been on fanart.tv for over a week.
