I am still getting script failed errors sometimes when playback stops or new playback starts.

I will try and post some new debug logs.

I did try and install the latest beta with the SONG TITLE (ft. ARTIST1 / ARTIST2 / ARTIST3) functionality but I then got no artist images appearing at all, I uninstalled and reverted back to the previous beta version.

Thanks

Hi,

i get the following error.

I get it on Song "DJ Project feat. Giulia - Nu" ID3 Tags are imho ok. Is there any reason or solution for this?

The best thing to do is revert back to the production version (which I believe is 1.5.0). The 1.5.1 beta still has lots of issues, and it'll be a couple of weeks before I get around to looking at them in more detail.

Hi

It just crashed again whilst I had debug logging enabled

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=9243

I can't begin to tell you how much I hate UTF encoding/decoding. The error you got will only show up if you are playing an artist with a UTF8 character in their name AND if you have debug logging enabled. I swear I thought I caught all the UTF8 encoding/decoding issues, but I'll add this to the list to fix.

The artist I was playing when it crashed was Sigur Rós

@pkscout - there's a Python bug in all the unicode shite - I use a different uncodeUni - giftie helped me with this, but since using it it's proved very robust...

Code:

##############################################################################
# properly unquote text coming back from e.g. LMS

def unquoteUni(text):

    try:
        import urllib.parse
        return urllib.parse.unquote(text, encoding=self.charset)
    except ImportError:
        #import urllib
        #return urllib.unquote(text)
        _hexdig = '0123456789ABCDEFabcdef'
        _hextochr = dict((a+b, chr(int(a+b,16))) for a in _hexdig for b in _hexdig)
        if isinstance(text, unicode):
            text = text.encode('utf-8')
        res = text.split('%')
        for i in xrange(1, len(res)):
            item = res[i]
            try:
                res[i] = _hextochr[item[:2]] + item[2:]
            except KeyError:
                res[i] = '%' + item
            except UnicodeDecodeError:
                res[i] = unichr(int(item[:2], 16)) + item[2:]
        return "".join(res)

...you probably are aware/have similar but just in case....

Hi pkscuot.

I'm translating your addon into French but I don't know what this label means :

Use override slideshow

What is the context of this setting ?

Thanks.

gnah . sorry

[malacai]

Hi and thx for a real nice addon
My problem is that every time i start xbmc (12.1, Aeon Nox) i need to go to Artist Slideshow in the Add-on's and hit 'Launch' to get the addon work.
Idk if its just me, but how do i get it to 'Launch' on boot?

/mal

i forgot. i use the newest from repo, 1.5.0 i think it is

Hi pkscuot.

I'm translating your addon into French but I don't know what this label means :

Use override slideshow

What is the context of this setting ?

Thanks.

That radio button (if selected) enables the following feature:

Override slideshow folder: (default none)
path to a directory of images that should be used intead of artist artwork. With this set no artwork will ever be downloaded.

So the text of the button is saying that if it is selected you will be using the override folder.

@pkscout - there's a Python bug in all the unicode shite - I use a different uncodeUni - giftie helped me with this, but since using it it's proved very robust...

I had not heard about that bug. I'll have a look at the code you shared. I'm assuming that takes something that has extended characters and provides you a standard ASCII string, right?

Hmmm. The link worked for me using both Safari and Chrome on OSX. What message or screen are you getting when you click the link?

[bossanova808]

Yep that's the idea. I can't even remember the details, they'll be in the forum somewhere, but basically giftie dug up the bug and I have been throwing unicode at it for a while without issues. Hate that stuff, it's the sort of fiddly crap that really drags down the fun of it all!!

Hi All

I have an issue where when using artist slideshow. Randomly it will display thumbnail pictures instead of the fanart size pictures.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this so that it only displays fanart pictures only? I hope this makes sense!

Thanks

Mark

[pkscout]

By default AS downloads any artist image from th source sites, no matter the size. There are some options to specify minimum size and whether you want only HD aspect ratio. Check out the wiki (link in sig) for more information.
