RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-11-11 (2017-11-10, 10:41)sasadangelo Wrote: Hi, It's technically a completely different skin with a different name and versioning. It's just that about 99% of the skin code is Estuary, so it's called a skin mod rather than something else. It won't be overwritten when you update OSMC because all skins (except the default skin) is stored is your userdata directory, and the skins and addons in your userdata directory are never touched during updates. Any time the Kodi team releases a new version of Kodi I check to see if there were any Estuary updates and back port them to my mod. Usually that happens within a few days, but for major releases (like when Kodi 18 comes out) it can take much longer. And I do this in my spare time, so sometimes life happens and the Kodi stuff doesn't.

RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - 1dz61 - 2017-11-17 Hello together, Artist Slideshow is one of my favorite addons for Kodi. I love this Eye Candy! I use it with my Music library and with “my” Radio Stations. I`ve got two questions regarding the usage with some Internet Radio Stations. Most of my favorite Radio Stations shows Artist and Title, and AS works great. There are unfortunately two of my favorites using a different syntax providing Artist and Title.
Beatles: Let it be The colon is directly, without space, after the last letter of the Artist name. In this case AS does not show images or bio.
Let it be / Beatles So, they exchanged Title, Artist. AS cannot work with that Tag info too. Would be great if someone can give me an advice to fix it. Greetings from Germany Thomas RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-11-18 Adding any other syntax for stations would require code changes. Adding support for every station’s choices would be a never ending game of wack-a-mole that I’m not interested in playing. If the station doesn’t provide the standard title and artist, AS won’t find any artists.

Thomas RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - 1dz61 - 2017-11-22 Hello together, Just another little question. Is there a posibility to scroll manually through the arist bio? With other words, I would like to switch the autoscroll function off, and will use buttons or the mouse wheel. With some artists (Pink Floyd Genesis etc.) it`s a lot of information, and it might be easier to read. I`ve checked the musicOSD.xml, and I think I have to add some code. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-11-23 (2017-11-22, 09:53)1dz61 Wrote: Hello together,That would definitely be a skin related thing (and probably in musicOSD.xml). I mostly control Kodi with keyboard commands via remote, so I have no idea how manual scrolling might work. Here's the wiki entry for the text control though. It's possible that if you just remove autoscroll that it will become a manual scroll thing. http://kodi.wiki/view/Text_Box RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - 1dz61 - 2017-11-23 Thanks again for your quick reply.

But I`m a absolute newbie. Do you have some more specific info about. BTW is it possible to change the text color of the artist bio? I search the forum and I`ve made some changes on my XML files, but I couldn`t figure out. RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-12-01 (2017-11-30, 13:18)1dz61 Wrote:Basically all the layout for that screen is in MusicVisualization.xml. There isn't any real documentation for what's included there, so if you want to make changes you're just going to have to read through all the XML, find a section you think is where you want to be, and make changes. You can also check out the skinning manual to get a sense of what's possible:(2017-11-24, 00:48)meowmoo Wrote: Its in MusicVisualisation.xmlThanks for feedback. http://kodi.wiki/view/Skinning_Manual RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - meowmoo - 2017-12-03 (2017-11-30, 13:18)1dz61 Wrote:search for ArtistSlideshow.ArtistBiography something like(2017-11-24, 00:48)meowmoo Wrote: Its in MusicVisualisation.xmlThanks for feedback.

I have been getting frustrated trying to get the slideshow plugin to work with amber, in the end I gave up and installed your modified skin. I now have the addon working when I start playing music but it only shows 2 images in the slideshow, both are images from TheAudioDB (there are 3 on the website), at no point for any artist does it show the local artwork. Is this a known issue? I have cleared all the hashed folders from userdata\addon_data\script.artistslideshow\ArtistSlideshow to try and start fresh and get more than 2 images to play but this hasn't worked. Also is there any format for filenames where I can store the images locally? Cheers RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-12-13 (2017-12-12, 20:07)tomsutton529 Wrote: Hi, pkscout.To my knowledge there is no issue with showing both local and remote artwork. There is no specific naming convention for local artwork, but it does need to be stored in a folder called extrafanart within a folder that exactly matches the artist's name from Kodi. You also need to set the location for the local artwork folder in the settings. If none of that helps, I'd need to see a debug log. RE: [RELEASE] Artist Slideshow 1.3.0 addon (with skin and addon integration) - pkscout - 2017-12-27 Artist Slideshow 2.1.0 ALPHA2 Available for Testing (note: there was no public Alpha1) There is an early test release of AS available. Because it's an early test release and has some substantial changes, it is not available via my beta repo yet. If you want to try it, please go to the AS Releases page on Github. You should use the installer zip and NOT the source zip. Otherwise you'll end up with two copies of AS on your Kodi install. Before installing this, I recommend, no implore, no BEG you to make a backup of userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow as well as the local artist image directory (if you have that setting enabled). You must be on version 2.0.0 or later of AS to upgrade properly to this version. If you're on something older it might work, but I doubt it. I've included a suggested set of update steps at the end of this post in the hopes that some of you will read all the way through before upgrading. '-) The most significant upgrade for 2.1.0 is that AS no longer uses hashed directory or image file names. That should make it easier for you to manually manage things if you want. AS will run a one time upgrade routine to attempt to rename all the hashed folder names to the correct artist and rename the images to the original image download name. Any artist information and image folders in the addon_data folder that can't be renamed will be moved to an archive folder in the addon_data folder so you can deal with them manually if you want. Any empty directories will be deleted. Other new features:
Here are some things I've noticed so far:
OK, here's my suggested steps:
If for some reason you need to run the upgrade again, you need to delete the migrationcheck.nfo and imagecheck.nfo (if you did the forced local storage) files. That will force AS to run the upgrade routines again. If you run into problems with the alpha (especially with the upgrade routines), PLEASE post a debug log. That'll help me track down what's happening and try to duplicate the problem. |
