I'm configuring Kodi 18.6 from scratch with Amber in a Nvidia Shield TV 2019 (not PRO).

I'm happy so far, but I've got a problem with rotating random music fanart showing in main menu. Sometimes you get fanart, sometimes (many times) you get a black screen. Other random fanart in main menu (series, movies) it's ok.

Tried so far:

- Other skins shows random music fanart just ok.
- I've tried rescanning my music collection a few times and I can see how fanart is scrapping in notifications. It's a way loooong process, anyway.
- I've activated debug log and take a look while navigating to music in main menu, but I can't see no errors.

I'm running out of ideas.... Could someone help me to at least troubleshoot? I'm quite new to Kodi so I'm for sure overlooking something.

Thanks a lot.

But I don't understand something: if I highlight one of those "composed" artists, instead of black background, Amber shows random artists fanart with no "blacks"! Which is what it should also happen in main menu... [emoji28]

Till this is clarified, what I've done is generate separate artist fanart folder using "artwork organizer" add-on, and then select mutiimage backgrounds based on that folder image.

It's a good solution, but if Amber can cycle random artist fanart inside music section, it should also be possible to do that in main music section! Shouldn't it?

I'm testing it right now: I'm over "Alex Party" artist, and I can see how background fanart is randomly been shown, with images of Kenny G, Eros Ramazzoti, and many other well-known artists, which obviously have nothing to do with Alex Party.

You told me somewhere above that you cycled fanart with all local artists library, but you couldn't know if every artist had fanart... but every other skin I've tested doesn't have this problem, so they must know how to do this somehow...

bye!

Oh! Forgot to say: today I've realized that it also happens on highlighting Series, but it's way more sporadic (I suposo because I've got less series with no fanart).

I've seen some issues in your repo version. Do you prefer a new thread for them, or it's ok to use this same? (doesn't have to do with this issue)

I'll install your repo and test last Amber version anyway. I'm sure there's more improvements.

I'll be looking forward next Amber version.

Thanks a lot to you!
