RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - cw-kid - 2013-07-16
Hi
v.1.5.3.010 is crashing on me as soon as I start to playback music.
I uninstalled the previous version and deleted the addon and addon_data folders for it. I then installed v.1.5.3.010.
v.1.5.3.009 has been working great!
Please see log file: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=37356
Thanks

feat. or ft. have to be lowercase (either will work once the case is corrected). If you are using 1.5.2 there is a bug that means many times the artists images won't get merged. It is fixed in the current 1.5.3 beta, and that should be released in the next few days as 1.5.4. If you're not comfortable manually installing add-ons, just wait for 1.5.4 to release.

@Wanilton, try this one and see if that fixes it. Unfortunately I can't duplicate your error here, but I *think* it might be because I was double decoding an Unicode string. Also, next time you try, could you enable debug logging? There is a debug log line I insert just before the error that might help me track this down if I didn't fix it.

Thank you that worked, and it will be handier with it all being lowercase. I am comfortable installing addons, always like to use the beta versions of my favorite addons and this is definitely one of them

Many thanks Pkscuot will try the latest beta tomorrow and let you know! Keep up the amazing work!!

@Wanilton, let's try this one. I tested with a local art directory name that had an extended character (an umlaut in my case) *and* an artist with an extended character in their name. This version worked for me, so I'm hoping it does for you as well. If not, I'm probably just going to just slap a try/except around it and move on with my life. Moving these .nfo files isn't really all that critical, as they'll all get recreated anyway.
RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - Wanilton - 2013-07-17
pkscuot, thanks, work fine now, with release 1.5.3.013. I see how files are stored in addon_data, it´s possible use name artist in folder, it´s critical, for manually edit info in xml, need look one by one, for find correct artist. I hope this make sense.
Thanks again,
Wanilton

I think I sort of answered this in your PM, but just for completeness, here's a version of that answer.
The stuff on add_on data was never meant to be edited (with the exception now of the _exclusions.nfo file). So it uses hashes of the artist name. Anything you put in your local artist directory (images or override .nfo files) uses the artist's name specifically because you should be able to easily find and edit that stuff. So if you sent a local artist folder, then any images you want to use are stored in <path you specified>/<artist name>/extrafanart/ and any .nfo files you want to override (like bio and albums) go in <path you specified>/<artist name>/override. The wiki page has information on doing that, and it's still up-to-date and valid, even for 1.5.3.013 and on.

With this new method of storing artist nfos, wouldn't it be easier just to edit the stored nfo rather than creating an override nfo? Or maybe there is a chance of having the edits over-written perhaps? Also my usage scenario is that I have multiple XBMCs running in portable mode (except one on Android, not sure if that is an option). I use a local XBMC for testing and then deploy to the production copies (the media folders are on a NAS but so far I prefer to let each XBMC instance maintain its own db). So I am interested in being able to copy over all the AS data so as to not have to scrape from each instance. I'm not sure I see that having a local artist folder defined adds much value, except that it would use artist names instead of a hash. I suppose where I have multiple XBMC instances on a single machine I could use it to share the AS data. Interested in any setup ideas to best utilize AS (I mainly use the Ace skin to run AS in). In the past, when AS has misfired on an artist name from Last.FM I have gone in to Last.FM using the api in my browser and copy paste from the returned results into the nfos.

I'm going to go with "no, it would not be easier."
Mostly I think it would be very difficult to figure out if a file has been edited by the user, and the way AS works it freshens the data every couple of weeks by downloading stuff again and re-caching it. So having a truly separate local override is a reasonable way (IMHO) to allow folks to have their own artist information without having to worry about it getting over written. Plus you can store it outside the XBMC addon_data area without having to do any strange path substitutions.
The value of the local artist folder is mostly for the scenario where you have some local artwork for an artist you want to be able to use but you don't want to (or can't) upload it to fanart.tv, theaudiodb.com or last.fm. I know fanart.tv takes only really high quality stuff (I'd say about a third of what I submit gets rejected), and theaudiodb.com only allows three images per artist.
From a historical perspective, the local art stuff was all added well after AS was mature and stable. So when I took over maintenance on AS it made sense to have the two directories kept separate so that AS could continue to run as it always had for the people who didn't really want any of the new fangled options. There is a configuration option that does get you one directory (use both local and remote images). In that case all the images are stored in the local location regardless of their source, but the .nfo files are still stored in the addon_data cache folder.
RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - scott967 - 2013-07-20
Thanks for the detailed response. I think I'm getting a good idea how best to use AS in my situation.
