thank you for maintaining this nice script.
I've stumbled upon a bug, might be helix related since I don't recall having this issue with gotham, so maybe you won't be able to look at it until next beta release. But anyway here's the issue:

the script works fine for songs with single artist, but with multiple artists the script stops, throwing a unicode exception. It seems that happens when it tries to copy pictures from the second artist into the merge directory.

Here's the log:

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone with a Helix confirm this? I tested in Gotham, and I definitely don't see that problem. Nor do I even understand why you'd be getting that error in Helix, especially given that none of the path in your case has any extended characters. I did check the code, and as far as I can tell everything is being properly encoded before being passed to xbmcvfs.copy (which then calls posixpath.py, which is what actually croaks in this case). So even if you had extended characters in the path, it should be working.

God I hate unicode. I hate it with the undying passion of 1000 burning suns.

Debug log please. Make sure to turn on th debug logging in the AS settings as well.

Well I did send you a log but I guess since you've completely ignored me ever since then that the fault was of my own making. Indeed it started working fine again a day or two later but at the moment it's gone again for me. A bit of feedback like a reply would have been nice though.

It's working fine but I have noticed that the screen dims when displaying the fanart. I have never had this happen on my windows box (screens dims when not in use) but never when playing music using Artist Slideshow.

I do have the system setting set to Use Visualizations if playing Audio

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks

FYI these characters don't cause any trouble in single mode, but in multiple artists mode the script crash with posixpath.py as you mentioned before.

PS: now I realize why I thought it was a general issue with multiple artists, I have extended characters in some picture file names for almost every artist in my database.

I tried using the Fallback folder option, and specified but but that didn't work on my windows box. Will try it on Linux and update. Any suggestions on things to look at?

But on many the mix compilations I have, the Artist is not found on the reference sites. Is it possible that if the Artist is not found on the reference site, that the mp3-tag Album Artist or the mp3-tag Composer can be used during the scraping process to the reference sites ?

i read that you checkt the code and all is ok, so i can just ignore this error?

because the temp folder is getting bigger and bigger

I'm a newbie with XBMC.
After looking many websites & tutorials, I saw images of XBMC with different artist pictures at the bottom & the chosen artist on the background, with the artist information.
As I don't have it, I thought that it was your plugin, so I installed it and... I'm a bit confused as I don't know if the plugin is correctly installed...

I followed the "tutorial" on http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Artist_Slideshow, I chose the "Create Custom Skin" option, didn't know if I have to modify "MusicVisualisation.xml" so didn't modify it.
but...
...nothing has changed in my XBMC theme.
I have the XBMC portable version so I have "script.artistslideshow" in XBMC/portable_data/addons & in XBMC/portable_data/userdata/addon_data.

(maybe i did all wrong from the start because this is not the right plugin ?...)
but i'd like to have it running nevertheless

thank you in advance for your help all
