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.The Transparency forum didn't offer any solution to the problem. I looked at the AS Wiki and there's this instruction:
"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?

Not right at the very beginning. These are XML files, you you have to understand a little bit about XML tags. I think you can safely put it right after the main window element, which is likely the first line of the file.

hi I'm not sure if it is me but I'm running kodi 19 on android and updated slideshow and have it working
but all the new images seem zoomed for some reason. I would try it with a theme if one was working I am
using the default kodi skin .

Estuary makes sure to fill the screen, so if you have images whose aspect ratio doesn't match your screen, Estuary will zoom and crop them. I do have an Estuary mod for Matrix that (among other things) gives you the option of leaving the images in their original aspect ratio.

I'd encourage you to stick it out with Matrix and, where needed, check with the individual add-on developers for add-ons that don't work in Matrix yet.

RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - deeps452 - 2021-04-13
Hi guys.
I've been using Titan for years now, but with Kodi Matrix I've changed to Aeon Tajo. When using Artist slide Show, it only downloads 4 images for slideshow. It didn't when I last used it years ago. A feature or limit I can change?
Tnx in advance

I'd need to see a debug log (with both Kodi and AS debug logging on) showing only four images being downloaded for an artist where you know they have more than four images in one of the services.

Hello
I'm on Kodi matrix + the Titan Mod skin.
As the internal visualization (slideshow) does not work for me, I happily installed Artist Slideshow which works fine.
I would like one thing:
Is there a way to display the artist's clearart?
The latter appears in lists and information panels, but hardly ever during playback.
I can't find the syntax to add.
Thank you for this excellent Product.

Hi
Thank you.
I know it's the skin. ( matrix migration need some adjusts)
Suggest :
As AS could read artist fanart folder, may be, in the future AS could read and display clearlogo.
Regards.

Kodi (at least as of Kodi 19 for sure) will already download clearart and clearlogo for artists, so it's there for the skins to use already. Having AS download it or advertise it to the skin would be redundant.
Thank you.

Hi
Ok, i understand now..
It's a skin / or skin helperservice issue in my case.

I do have an update for that issue, but I want to bundle it with some other changes I need to make. So for now AS will not work with the nightly Kodi 20 builds.
