Hi Guilouz,
had to do a lot of work so I had no time to try your hints towards my problem with artistslideshow. I have deinstalled the addon and sorted my music-trees like you have described them in your 1st post.
My problem is now that i can edit artists and cd-covers and kodi shows the correct cdart which I have edited with gimp. After switiching for some clicks to films for example and then back to music kodi still loads the old art-stuff. Can't find my mistake. If i quitt kodi it is the same problem. Strange thing is that kodi saves some covers and ignores others. Any idea what I could do?
Hope you can help - best greetings

I can not thank ya enough for the hard work so many have done on this skin. I really do appreciate it.
Disclaimer: I can bumble around in some of the code but do not understand most of it.)
As some of us have to change the font size in the font.xml it can be a bit frustrating with how the code is. (Not only in Estuary but in most skins.) The issue that the code is a bit haphazard on the different parts of Kodi. One font may be used in a specific aspect, but then used also in a completely irrelevant part or panel.
Messing around with the font sizes to see how useful this will be for me and ran across some things. No doubt there is more, just a quick run through.
Font 12 controls movie runtime in Fanart and List views, but not wideview. Should the font not be the same used for the Movie title right beside it? Does not effect movie length in streams.
Font 13 Controls movie description in all views and movie title and runtime in widelist but not in Fanart and List view. It is also the font for popout menu on right. Also it is the font for Settings menu, but not the sub menus. But it is the font for the submenus settings
Font 27 changes movie title in the list in Fanart and List view only.
The reason I started digging around the font.xml is to change the font size of the rating flag of movies. The font was easy to find and change. But the problem is that the container (probably not the proper term) that the font is in with its background are too small for my needs. I dug through the different "view" files but could not find how to change the size.. (I found some listed in Estuary Refresh skin.) Can someone point me to the file that it would be located to change the size of the container?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guilouz,
seems to be a missunderstanding - I have deinstalled artist-slideshow, so I don't use it either.
To your question:
Kodi is installed on c: - musiclibrary is located on f:
All my files are structured as in your description - if I change pngs for cdart Kodi shows the correct changes and then "forgets" them after one shutdown.
Paths are correctly set in artwork options "manualy change artwork" - Can't see my mistake - Is Kodi not able to read artwork if musicfiles are saved on a different harddisc?
Best regards
