Please check the wiki page for AS. There are two versions of the beta repo, one for Gotham and one for for Helix onward. I use my beta repo on my main HTPC. I just checked, and it downloaded AS 2.0.6~beta2 last night. If you have the right repo, you might try manually checking for updates. I think Kodi only checks repos every day or so for updates automatically.

I'm sorry but when I click the link on the AS wiki page it directly downloads the Gotham file. No selection possible. For me it is not a problem I can download beta via github - if I'm the only one struggling with this no need to change anything.

I checked the wiki. There are two repos for my skins, but only one for my beta stuff. My bad. The one for the beta stuff is Helix+ and it's the one I use on my main production machine to get updates. It's definitely working. If you want to just download from GitHub that's your call. Be aware that if you install the GitHub one directly from the zip you will get a folder with -master at the end. So you could end up with 2 copies of AS, and I have no idea which one Kodi will try and run.

Fixed. That was caused by some additional logging I added when trying to troubleshoot the artist change problem. The crash probably only happened with artists that have extended characters in their name. 2.0.6~beta2 is in the repo now.

thanks for that at the moment it is running perfectly boy you sure are fast at fixing things LOL

I guess we are talking about different things or tracks. I'm talking about the link shown below

RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-01-06

Nope. That's the link. I checked, double checked, and tripled checked. It is going to the one and only version of the beta repo installer, and that repo is working fine for all versions of Kodi Helix and later. I use it on a machine of my own to download any beta I push out. As of yesterday I was able to get the current beta software downloaded from it.

Just to show some love for your addon

One of the best! Really makes the difference!

your addon and CRC lyrics are the perfect setup to hear music in kodi.

RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-01-07

Based on that log I'd say you have some kind of OS problem. LoadJpeg is failing for everything, not just images AS has downloaded.

Yeah, I don't know what all that was about but it seems to have gone away. Still can't get AS images to show up, though. I've tried the kodi repo and your beta repo versions of AS. I tried modding the stock Confluence skin and using your Estuary mod. I'm on Kodi 17 RC1.

Did I do this part right?
Code:
$ head MusicVisualisation.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<onload>RunScript(script.artistslideshow)</onload>
<window>
    <defaultcontrol>-</defaultcontrol>
    <controls>
        <control type="visualisation" id="2">
            <!-- FIX ME Music Visualization needs to have an id of 2 in this window to be able to lock or change preset -->
            <description>visualisation</description>
            <left>0</left>
            <top>0</top>

There's still some LoadJpeg errors popping up but that seems to be due to your Estuary mod not having a background named pattern1.jpg.
Code:
~/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.krypton.pkscout.mod/extras/backgrounds$ ls
primary.jpg  secondary2.png  secondary4.png  secondary6.png secondary1.png  secondary3.png  secondary5.png

I turned on debug logging for Kodi and AS, sorry for the huge file. http://paste.osmc.io/patucigeju


Edit: I just restarted and now they're working in your Estuary Mod. Still black screen in Confluence.


RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-01-07

Are you using the stock Confluence for Kodi 17? If so, that doesn't support Artist Slideshow. I'm also not planning to do a Confluence mod for Kodi 17, and I don't think any of the older mods of Confluence I did will work well in Kodi 17.

Similar to @hoschilo I am not finding the AS 2.0.6 beta 2 version either. I download the repo and AS 1.7.0 is what it showing that is able to be downloaded. So there is no confusion:

Is this the correct address for those with Helix and newer? This is the link that I am getting when going to the wiki.

Apparently I needed to quadruple check the link. That repo link is, in fact, to the old Gotham one. I've updated with wiki with the link to the Helix one. Sorry about that. That was totally my bad.


RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - Gussel - 2017-01-09

Hi pkscout,

thanks for the great addon. It worked fine for a long time I used Kodi 14.2 Helix with confluence skin.

Today I've made an update to 17.0, installed AS and AS Helper and installed the modded skin from your repository too. AS shows a message that it's downloading pictures. The pictures can be copied correctly with AS Helper. But Kodi is not showing the slideshow. Not the downloaded pictures, not either the local ones.

Here is the logfile: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23767253/

Vizualization is set to "none".

Thanks for your help.

Gussel

I see where AS sets the directory for the artist images to Y:\Fady Maalouf\extrafanart, but when it goes to see if there are images, Kodi generates a directory read error:
Code:
XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting Y:\Fady Maalouf\extrafanart

This generally indicates that the directory doesn't exist or isn't readable by Kodi. Is Y: still a valid drive mapping on your system?

Here's the logfile: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23680615

That log shows only that Artist Slideshow has been installed. There is no indication that it is ever activated. You have to playing music, have your skin on the music visualization screen, and have a skin that supports AS.
I don't know what to say. I looked at the add-on and it is enabled. In this case I click on Run (I never had to do that before). When I play music the background is black. I bring up the visualization screen and the Artist slideshow add-on is enabled. If I disable AS in that screen, exit back to the song listing, then return to the visualization window and re-enable AS everything works, until I exit KODI. Then I have to go through this whole procedure again.

I'll send another log file. I also have a screen capture video, but that's a bit larger.
