You need to upgrade to a current Kodi version.  Kodi 19 is current and what I support.

i like skin ace. that is why i use kodi 16.1 that can use it

does artist slideshow need other addon to be installed?

1. You might see about contacting the skin author or see if there is a support thread for the skin and ask there about how to make sure AS is getting called properly
   
2. If you enable debug logging and then play some music and activate the screen you think should have the artist background images, I can at least see if AS is being activated and if there's something else going on that isn't skin related.

I understand that the problem was playing from my google drive without scrape.

It will be amazing that we can play from our google drive file music and have the background without have to do a scrape from GB of files music.

Thanks for the answer.

I had a look into what was adding space to my .kodi file and nearly a gigabyte in userdata was the artist slideshow folders.
I set maximum cache to 256MB thinking that this will restrict the size of the script.artistslideshow and artistinformation folders, but it doesn't seem to have worked, see screenshot.
How can I limit the size of the script.artistslideshow and artistinformation folders automatically?
