@T-bird_se + @ge00rgej + @marson

Hi guys - can you all do me a favour & check you're running version="3.0.4" on all machines concerned

Did a lot of changes in and around music viz settings, so just need to check we're on the same page.

Mudislander - both of mine are on 3.0.4

@ge00rgej
Looking at the code - I see I got a bit lazy with fallback images, which is what the flaming guitar is. Try setting the widget to "Random Albums" which has got the fallback and see if that makes a difference.

Changed to Random Albums - added another track and re-scanned but still the same

Does Default Confluence show only the blank spaces ?

Yes - exactly the same.

Out of interest when choosing backgrounds in CCM does the image have to reside in skin.ccm.helix/backgrounds or can
you index it from anywhere ... my file is sitting in /home/pi .... don't know if this is associated with the problem ?

CCM for Helix keeps getting better and better, great Work Mudislander!


Things I'm missing from old CCM:

1. Clearart & Clearlogo (in library view and player)

2. Display of year in player

3. Weather forecast icons in the menue (or am I doin it wrong?)

That rings a bell, read somewhere about Pi's with networked backgrounds - can't remember the answer. You'll have to try a search for similar problems in the other Kodi threads.

We'll get there -

1. Haven't got to media views yet, getting backgrounds sorted first.
2. Actually easy to display, but had a few problems if there already was a year in the title - Regex check didn't work well. We can always put in a setting add year or not.
3 Weather widget popular then Smile I'll look at the old CCM code and see if I can zap it accross

Also on 3.0.4
It's not a new behaviour, just not reported as the skin is WIP at the moment

Edit: And please get rid of the pan & zoom effect

Artist Slideshow is now working for me.
1. Check that SkinSettings-->ScriptOptions-->"Enable ArtistSlideShow" is enabled (also shortcut to seetings underneath)
2. Check that SkinSettings-->General Settings-->Global Skin Options-->Enable "Fanart Background of Playing Media" is enabled.

If it's still not working take a look at your Kodi Log and check that artist slideshow is actually running.

Image I found it, silly typo with "ArtistSlideshow.ArtworkReady"

Have fixed a couple of things today, so will put out an update later this evening.
