Hi everybody,

at the moment I'm doing my first steps in skinnig. To learn what is possible and what isn't I'm using the Amber skin (Kodi 15.1 on Windows 7 and Linux Mint). Now I'm working on the problem how to get my own artist images (thumbs) in the artist list. It's already working with album artists (without any skin modification) but my question is: Is there any way to insert the thumbs of artists who are only on collections? Maybe by changing this part of the includes.xml?

Code:
<include name="SquareThumb">
    <texture background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Art(thumb)]</texture>
    <aspectratio aligny="top">stretch</aspectratio>
</include>

I'm not yet far enough with my understanding of the Kodi functions but I guess that it is necessary to modify ListItem.Art to show these thumbs. Could anyone please give me a hint, where I can do this?

I'd appreciate for a hint or any idea for a next step to solve my issue.

There's only one artist thumb stored per album.
