I noticed that when music from my library plays, i can turn on in options to show artist bio. But when i play a radio station (i know that only some of radio stations sends the right info) i see artist slideshow but not artist bio.
The bio comes from Artist Slideshow (which I maintain). The first thing I would check is to see if you've enabled any of the online services (lastfm or theaudiodb) to provide a bio. By default AS only uses the bio from Kodi (which only gets populated for music in your library). In the Artist Slideshow settings go to the ARTIST BIO section and enable the ones you want to use.
I have every option on for bios (in AS). There is no problem with bio in music from my library, only from radio addon (from kodi repository). I found stations that send the tags, everything works ok with stations in other skins which show artist bio (e.g. Aeon Nox: SiLVO) but in your estuary mod (which i prefer) it uses the artist fanarts from AS but doesn't show the bio. It' s a small problem for a wonderful mod, but i was wondering if there is a fix.
