first, I would like to thank you for all your efforts, especially during the last days of holiday. Since 3 years I am using the AS for Kodi with my NUC N2820 and it was running pretty well, great job!

Now I have changed to LibreELEC 9.2.0, Leila 18.5, skin is Aeon Nox: SiLVO 7.0.8 and your AS-beta14.
I run into 2 questions I can´t help myself:

* During music OSD all pictures in the artist folder are shown by AS. For the fanartX.jpg, that´s perfect, but the thumb.jpg, banner.jpg and clearart.jpg are shown as well, which I would like to avoid. (same behavior in Estuary-Standard-Skin)
* For all artists where are no pictures available, AS is showing (random?) other fanarts of other artists. ["disable secondary and featured artist images" is enabled already]. Where/ how can I disable this? I would like to disable this, and show nothing instead, or a black background. (this behavior is just in Aeon Nox: SiLVO, Estuary runs perfect, which seems odd to me, because the settings of AS are the same and I can´t change anything AS-related in the skin settings of Aeon Nox...?)

Thanks for your help in advance,
BB

For the first one, if you have set AS to use the Kodi artist information folder for images (NOT a custom location that points to the Kodi artist information folder), it should be filtering out anything that isn't fanartX (basically what you want).  So if you have AS set to use the Kodi artist information folder and it's not doing that, I need to track that down.  Basically it you've setup the Kodi artist information folder, you need to tell AS that.  If you're using a custom location and need to filter out certain images, that isn't currently an option.  I can look at adding something though.

For the second one, I'm pretty sure that's a skin issue (especially since you're only seeing it with Aeon Nox Silvo).  If AS finds no images it sets no image and the skin probably takes over and shows the background. In the case of Aeon Nox Silvo that might be random artist images.  One possible workaround would be to have a folder that has a black image and set that folder as the fall back slideshow in AS.  That would then show a black image if no images are found.

If none of what I've suggested helps, could you post a debug log showing these two things happening?

once again, thank you so much for your very quick, friendly and helpful support! I don´t know any better assistance, even for paid services. Outstanding.

Let me know please if you find something that could cause the issue. Thanks in advance. 

It looks to me like you've turned on the override folder option and set it to /storage/emulated/0/001 Kodi Mappen/Artist Slideshow/. That means AS will only show images in that exact directory (nothing below it). But it also looks like you've set the custom location for artist information to that same directory, which will create /storage/emulated/0/001 Kodi Mappen/Artist Slideshow/ARTISTNAME/information to store the downloaded json files from the various services. So there's probably never any images in the directory you've set as the override folder.

You might want to take a little time and read through the AS wiki page (link in my signature) for the settings and then maybe set AS back to it's default and start clean. But basically the override option will show the same exact slideshow for every artist. It's mostly for if you have something like a slideshow of family images you want to show with music in the background. If you want artist images downloaded you need to make sure the override option is OFF and turn on at least one of the artist fanart services in the IMAGES tabs of the settings. You can let AS store everything in the addon_data folder or change to a custom location if you really want to.

Thanks for helping me setting up ASS correctly. I'm still experiencing some small issues and have reported them to the developer of the AeonMQ7 Leia (@latts9923). I'll wait patiently for the next skin update to see if it will solve the following issues:
1. The fallback slide show does not start. The randomly named images for the fallback slideshow are located in a subfolder. Can ASS handle with this scenario?
2. The artist slideshow only starts, when extrafanart is enabled in the skin menu. If I remember correctly, the artist slideshow in ASS version 2.xx also worked fine just with having default fanart enabled in the skin.

Cheers

(2020-01-08, 16:38)pulsar124 Wrote: Could you please look into one more issue? It looks like when one listens to multiple songs in a row, AS restarts the slideshow every time a new song starts. Normally it shouldn't be a problem, but with my large collection of images (15,000), every time a new song starts I get ~1 minute of black screen. So overall I only see my photos half of the time Any chance this behaviour can be changed - so that a slideshow is initiated only once (when the first song starts playing), and then stops only when the music stops (either because it reached the end of the song list, or because I pressed the stop button)?

(2020-01-08, 16:38)pulsar124 Wrote: Two more points are more minor. First, it'd be great if every time a new song starts the music player stuff would not come on top of the slideshow (with the music fanart, song title, player buttons etc). So basically I want my slideshow to be uninterrupted: the focus is the images, music is just background.

(2020-01-08, 16:38)pulsar124 Wrote: Second, when I pause music, slideshow keeps running. Ideally, one would want the slides to pause as well - e.g. when you want to spend more time showing a particular photo to your guests.

For #1, no, AS doesn't look in sub-folders for images.  The fallback folder needs to be set to a folder with images in it.  I thought that was always the case, but it is possible (based on some other comments) that the old multi-image control the skins use would search sub-folders.  I don't think it did, but I never tried it.

For #2, that's a skin thing.

The fallback slideshow does not work on my side when the images are located in a rootfolder. But thanks for explaining the correct settings. I'll just have to wait for the next skin update.
