If I want all three displayed, I need to edit ARTIST to Erich Kunzel / Cincinnati Pops Orchestra / Johann Strauss. Can Artist Slideshow read those two ALBUMARTISTS and one ARTIST tags, and display all three without me editing the tags? Thanks a lot.
It does look like I can query for the album information as well, so it is possible. I will add this to the feature request list.

- I have a lot of dj mix/compilation cd's. FanartTV and The AudioDB don't have images for most of the artists on compilation cd's. In this scenario the alternative slideshow kicks in. But I prefer to see the images for the albumartist for compilation cd's. Is this possible yet?

RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - lotte67890 - 2021-03-06
Hello again, I've got two questions:
1. Is it possible to display the pictures in my fallback folder in a random order?
2. Since in general I have the screensaver set to dim after x minutes, is it possible to do not dim when artist slide show is running?
Thanks a lot

Hey there. Love your addon :-)
2 questions:
1.) storage
Wouldn't it be possible to choose the Artist Information Folder AIF even for storing artists information? There's only addon dir and custom to choose from.
Is setting custom storage location to AIF give problems?
2.) if I remove the _imgdb.nfo for an artist, it would force downloading artwork again and add to already existing no matter if already present resulting in possible duplicates, correct?

- The Kodi AIF folder is meant for images, not random stuff that is generated by addons. I'm not sure what would happen if you store that information there. If you really want to do that, you can use the custom option and point it to the same directory that your Kodi AIF is set to.
- Yes, that is correct. Deleting that file will force a download of all that artist's images again.

OK, thought because there's an artist.nfo stored...
Artist Slideshow Not Collecting Images - hurricane51 - 2021-04-02
I'm not quite sure what the problem is. I've built 4 or 5 Windows 10 KODI systems, all with Artist Slideshow. In this case, it's using Transparency! on KODI 18.9. I've left it running playing music for known artists for hours and not one image was displayed. I've compared all the settings to my main KODI box and I haven't found a difference.
Do I have to give it a kick start or what?

@hurricane51 - your post/thread above has been merged into the main support thread for Artist Slideshow.

I'd be happy to look at a debug log (with Kodi and AS debug logging on), but if it's only happening with Transparency! you might check in the support thread for that skin.

"If you want to manually add support for AS to an existing skin, you need to add/update a few things in MusicVisualization.xml.
To run the script:
<onload>RunScript(script.artistslideshow)</onload>"
My questions are these:
Which MusicVisualization.xml (What is the path?)
Do I need add this line to the script or edit a pre-existing line?

I can't say whether you have to add the line or edit an existing one, since that depends on if the skin already has an onload section.(2021-04-02, 21:04)pkscout Wrote:The Transparency forum didn't offer any solution to the problem.
