@JohnyBee
i download the zip file
followed the 1&2 step instalation but its not working for me.any help please?
i dont know what is the 3rd section

It's great Johnybee, I use in my personal mod.

Kost@s76, you need install artist slideshow addon, http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Artist_Slideshow

Thanks

@emiralles thanks Mate but I have already installed artist slideshow. Probably I m missing something. I extract the zip file to 1080i folder but it's not working for me. What is the best settings for slideshow addon please?

You need to edit the two files mentioned in the first post (MusicVisualisation.xml & includes.xml) and add the code as shown in the first post. Then restart Kodi and it'll work.

thanks black_eagle. i dont know how to edit xmls. i thought just replacing the 2 files from zip will work.just like jb similar artis on mq6..my bad

It isn't difficult to do. You need to open the xml files in a text editor, find the relevant lines and add the code as shown. Then save them again. Obviously, one should always make a back-up of them first. I'd upload mine with the mod done, but my MusicVisualisation.xml has a few other mods in it too !!

@black_eagle thank you very much.

I can I have ready 2 files (Music Visualisation - includes)
thanks

Do not understand the question.

You indeed already have them and you should edit them to use this mode.

Hi All,
sometimes I can observe an overlapping between the moving album arts strip and the current album art. I can assume there is a transparency issue so that the album arts strip has bring front.
Please see the screenshot below:



Does someone of you experience the same issue? How can I solve it?

Tks in advance

Hi @Jumpy73,
I dont know how to get the same effect.
For testing i turn off panel hiding and big views similar artist and albums.
Under big picture there is nothing to show.
In code under big picture I cant find any controls.
I analized the code, and i couldn't find any error.
I dont know how to help you.
Have you got more tips for that?

JB
