A few questions on music:
1. When playing music the icon to the left never shows the album art of the artist that is playing. Is this a known issue or is there some setting to change
2. How can I change how the song title displays. I've tried changing the settings but it never seems to impact the song title. Instead I always see 00. Song Title. I'd prefer to have the Artist name and then song name.
3. Is there a way to have the fan art show when a song is playing instead of the visualizations?

Im having difficulty with a new install.
I have installed Gotham on a fresh PC, installed Amber and PleXBMC but then get a script error and a unable to contact server error. I have also tried on Helix with the same result. I also uninstalled and tried again and copied my XBMC folder off a working PC onto the new one and it still fails and cant see my Plex server. I can connect just fine with a web browser but cant get PleXBMC to see my server
Any ideas what I can try to trouble shoot this?

I'm not sure I can help but without logs I can only make a guess

Turns out to be a version issue. I got some different versions and installed them till one worked. I should be able to get it working in Helix with the same approach. Which ever one is available in the repo didnt work for me 'out of the box'

I have it working fine in Gotham as long as I turn off auto update of plug ins. I havent been able to get it working in Helix. Can someone with a working PleXBMC in Helix confirm versions for me and perhaps where they got it?

Another cheers with a couple questions. I've been checking in every month or so to see how the helix progress has been doing. Tonight I made some changes:
1. Upgraded the PMS to plexpass 9.11.7
1a. Of course when I did this I had to mess around with the Plex Home users, so I sent an invite and it apparently switched to plexhome mode
1b. (came in troubleshooting later) After reading about authfix later, I wasn't sure how turn off PlexHome, so i canceled the invite
2. Reinstalled my nuc with openelec-kodi/helix
3. Process to get plexbmc working again:
3a. Downloaded pecinko's master branch zip of skin.amber and the amber branch zip of pecinko's plexbmc.
3b. After messing around for a bit I reverted plexbmc (uninstalled and deleted the addon-data) to the pecinko's released 3.5.5
Three issues:
1. No shelf items (not a big deal to me)
2. When set on GDM (only sees my cloud sync and shared content) or local ip address defined (libraries show up but error in the background): NOTICE: PleXBMC -> Authentication error on server [10.0.0.21:32400]. Check user/password.
3. When looking at Recently Added or Recently Aired, KODI is doing the sorting instead of the returned sorted list from the PMS
Thank you. I've been using PlexBMC for almost two years now. Love it!
Once ive got my current set up updated to Helix im going to give OpenELEC a go. Hopefully there is driver support for my Streamzap remote and I can get it working. I use Eventghost for that but with a move away from Windows that wont be an option any more.
