RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2016-09-03

If you're using fanart.tv for images, please see this:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=124880&pid=2381463#pid2381463
tl;dr fanart.tv requires MusicBrainz ID, so 2.0 onwards won't do that for streaming music (you have to tag your library music using MusicBrainz Picard). TheAudioDB.com and htbackdrops.org (when it's up) will work for streaming music.
RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - arzaz - 2016-09-03
Example, the MusicBrainz ID for ADELE is: http://musicbrainz.org/artist/cc2c9c3c-b7bc-4b8b-84d8-4fbd8779e493, what will be the next step?
RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - zag - 2016-09-03
Tag your music using picard, so the musicbrainz id is in the tags.

I am BEGGING you to not do this manually. Download MusicBrainz Picard and tag your music using that. You are going to create hours and hours and hours and hours of frustrating, manual work if you try and create all those text files. Since you don't understand what the MusicBrainz ID is, you really just need to do what we're all suggesting and use MusicBrainz Picard.

My new problem is with the transparent background enabled and ArtistSlideshow is presenting an image that is not 16:9 the skin fallback image is showing up underneath, some users don't like this. Therefore would be nice to only allow skin background if ArtistSlideshow has transparent setting + Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow) is empty or not ready.
There isn't one specifically. I need to look through the code and see if you can safely assume that Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow) will be empty if there is no art. I'll look at either making sure Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow) is empty until there is art OR add another window property. I should be able to look at it this weekend.
@pkscout
Hi I am a noob at this but with regards to transparency effect for the artist slideshow, I was curious to know if this fix has been implemented, reason for this enquiry is that I love the artist slideshow add-on but cant seem to figure out why when I choose to have a transparent background when no image are available I still get a black background, I assume I should be to see my home screen when playing a track that's not recognised.
ill b grateful if you can advice. thank you.

Yup. Check the wiki page under the NEW SKIN PROPERTIES section. The one at the end tells you if there is an image ready yet.
RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - Thomas69 - 2016-09-06
Hello there, sorry if this was posted earlier (couldn´t find any matches). Is it possible to increase the brightness of the slideshow? Maybe this has already been considered for some next update...

Image display is done by the skin. AS only gets the images and tells the skin where they are. So this is a question to ask of the skin author.

It kind of depends on the skin. I actually implemented this for a skin developer, but I've never used it in any of the skin mods I've done, so I don't really know where the best place would be to use it. You might check in the thread for whatever skin you are using and see if anyone can help.

It's a little hard to tell with just the log snippet, but it looks like AS is failing because theaudiodb is sending back a response that isn't valid XML (which likely means it didn't respond at all). I thought I had fixed all those, but if I'm reading that right the only thing to do in the short term is to turn off theaudiodb as a source for images, bios, and albums. I'll take a look to see what I can do about duplicating this. I think I just need to test AS with no internet connection and see what barfs.
edit: I found the issue and fixed it. I'll post a new beta later today and then plan on pushing this to the main repo later this week.

You don't appear to be running the beta. The line number referenced here:
Code:
File "C:\Users\Bar-Tal\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\script.artistslideshow\resources\plugins\theaudiodb.py", line 137, in _get_audiodbid
json_data = _json.loads( raw data )doesn't have that line of code anymore. Check to make sure you have only one version of AS in your addons folder. Please in the future don't post snippets of your log. I can't see what led up to the error or even verify you're running the right version. Enable debugging in both AS and Kodi and post a link to the complete log file.
