My issue is that I'm coding a Music Visualization screen; my aim is to provide similar artists and discography information and their corresponding images while the song is playing. With similar artists there's no problem; would there be any way to get discography work in the same way? I mean, that AlbumName.1 and AlbumThumb.1 (and so on) only returned results if both had any content...

If AS doesn't get anything back for a particular album thumb or name, then that property will be blank. If you don't want to show the album name if the thumb doesn't exist, just check with IsEmpty.

Code:

<visible>!IsEmpty(Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.%d.AlbumThumb))</visible>

Or if you only want to show it if you have both:

Code:

<visible>!IsEmpty(Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.%d.AlbumThumb)) + !IsEmpty(Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.%d.AlbumName))</visible>

Still I wonder of what use is to fetch a result like valid when there's no image available, only the album name; at the end of the day the name's script is Slide Show, and if there's no image maybe it would make sense to skip that result altogether. Obviously it's just an opinion, you know better... maybe it's impossible to make that change in the code.

It's possible, but as soon as I change it three other people will claim I have ruined their skin because AS no longer returns an album name even with no image. So AS returns whatever information it can get. The skin developer can decide what to do with it.

Since it's a clean install of Kodi, I'm assuming it's something obvious I've overlooked. What's the first thing I should check?

Unfortunately, no. htbackdrops lets you filter by size, but the other sources don't. So at some point I removed the option to filter by size at all. I suppose I could have a setting to throw out anything smaller than x, but then you might not get artwork at all for some artists. I can't think of any reasonable way to determine if you already have the 1080p version of an image.

If you can add a setting to filter out anything smaller than x it would be greatly appreciated. I just noticed that some of the artwork that gets downloaded is 768x768, 600x600, etc. and doesn't look that good in the slideshow. Also, is it possible to have the slideshow play on the home screen in Aeon Nox? I asked this question in the Aeon Nox forum, but never received an answer.

A debug log would help. Make sure you enable the debug logging in AS as well as Kodi generally.

No worries. AS writes all it's log info to the main Kodi log. So if you enabled AS debugging and Kodi debugging, then everything should be in that one log file.
