RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2022-12-04 @Jeffers24 The official update got pushed to the repo last night. If you have auto updating on, the beta should update automatically within the next day. If it doesn't, you can manually force an update. RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - boxcar32 - 2022-12-04 Hi pkscout, I am using the OSMC skin and wanted the artist Bio to show on the music visualization screen. I can see I need to insert this line (Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.ArtistBiography) somewhere in the musicvisualization.xml. RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - Jeffers24 - 2022-12-04 Thanks for 3.3.3 update. It updated the Beta version automatically.

But you have to get it into a textbox and place it where you want. And you might need a semi-transparent background image so the text is readable. Here's an example of how my Estuary mod does it. You might want to ask in the OSMC forums if you still have questions after this:
RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - boxcar32 - 2022-12-04 You rock. Thank you very much for this info and AS. It showed on screen and all I have to do is place it in a location. RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - horizons1 - 2022-12-26 Hey @pkscout I just wanted to drop you a note to say how great it is that AS just keeps working. I've been using it for a few years now and it's so great to see new artwork popping up for artists I add to my collection without me having to tinker with anything. Thank you. RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - oliaros - 2023-01-26 Hello out there, I am using Confluence v4.6.11 under Libreelec Leia on a Raspi 3B and would like to run the Artist Slideshow. What patches I do have to insert? Thanks for your support, oliaros RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2023-01-27 (2023-01-26, 19:07)oliaros Wrote: Hello out there,There aren't specific instructions for Confluence, but the wiki page for AS still has instructions for updating Estuary (from before Estuary added support), and that should be enough to get you headed in the right direction. https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Artist_Slideshow RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - bossanova808 - 2023-02-10 Hey @pkscout long time no chat (since the XSqueeze <> Artist Slidehow days!). Hope you are well! I have just noticed recently that AS (I am using Confluence still, with the mod as per the wiki) - is working fine generally, but for some odd reason the Artist Thumb image that gets added into the mix is not scaled - so I am getting one image with chopped off heads for each of my artists... (I have concluded it is the Artist Thumb image, as that's the only place I can find these images...). Any ideas what might be causing that? The slideshow looks great but then boom every iteration there's the headless artist again Not ideal!

Do you have AS setup using the Artist Information Folder? Maybe it's in there and not properly getting filtered from the results. You can update your Confluence mod and use "keep" instead of "scale" for the aspectratio. That will keep the artist head from getting cutoff, but it will show in its original aspect ratio (which is probably square). if you have any other images that aren't 16x9, they would also not fill the screen. RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - bossanova808 - 2023-02-11 These will have come from Artwork Beef I'd guess. But yep, keep seems what I want anyway - I didn't actually notice the AS mod was scaling things, as most are clearly 16:9. But yes, I am using the Artist Information Folder, and looking in there I see both thumb.jpg (square format, often, it seems) - and some square fanarts as well. Also, digging in manually, a few duplicates which explains some other things. I'll do some clean-up this weekend I think. A lot of the duplicates seem to be due to Artist name issues (B & S vs. B And S, etc). I definitely don't want images cropped, or indeed warped from their original aspect ratio, so you're right 'keep' is the way to go (indeed, a bit surprised that isn't the default really). Will change that, thanks. RE: Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration) - Longtime Collector - 2023-03-09 Fabulous add-on I've just discovered after using Kodi for many years. Thanks so much. I went to make a donation at Fanart.tv and they made it difficult (forcing me to disable my vpn, etc.). So before I waste more time with the donation can someone inform me how much better it is to have selected the donation button in the add-on setup. I'm trying to be as supportive as possible.

Thanks so much.You'll get new images from fanart.tv sooner. That's really it. I don't remember the exact time, but I think without the donation button selected AS will only check for new images at fanart.tv every couple of weeks. The donation button I think changes it to every couple of days. |
