2.1.1~beta4 is available from my beta repo. It (hopefully) fixes the issue where AS crashes when using the Windows Store version of Kodi.
@Govnah, please see if this works for you. The only thing I can say for sure is that it doesn't crash on my systems, but then it didn't crash before.

I can't seem to the the Artist bio to display. It has download (I can see it). I am sure I am overlooking a setting some place. Can someone point me in the correct direction?
Thanks....

(2018-03-22, 17:05)Powerhouse Wrote:OK, I know I didn't update the wiki, but this option did get announced with the new version and is listed in the change text when you view the information on the addon. Please make sure you are running the most current version (2.1.1) and check the settings. In SLIDESHOW you'll see a toggles for using the local artist path for all artist images and the text information. It can take awhile to migrate all that data, so I'd recommend doing it on one machine (just run AS manually from the program menu) until it's done, then do the next. You'll end up with everything in one place.(2018-03-22, 04:43)pkscout Wrote:So AS does store the data somewhere, but you say it doesn't really matter.

Since I have multiple Kodi installs around the house, this means that each install, will have to re-download this data again. So it now takes up space on my devices (since AS is keeping the data locally, instead of on my NAS), it's more of a burden to the makers of said data (since they will have multiple machines trying to grab that data, and someone needs to pay their bandwidth bills), and there is no place for me to locate said data, (to add, edit, or whatever) to that information.
Having this data stored in the location the rest of the Artist data is, just makes a whole lot more sense for everyone.

When I play music, extrafanart, banner, fanart, folder, logo always get generated in the source music folder. I have a different folder set up for that, but can't seem to stop Kodi from generating all the art in the source music folders.Artist Slideshow only downloads fanart, so if you're getting all that other stuff it's from somewhere else. I know there are a few addons that do downloads of stuff like that for music (and movies, and TV Shows), so maybe look for something like Artwork Downloader, Artwork Beef, Artwork Organizer, or maybe even cdArt Manager. Those are a few of the ones I know off the top of my head that download all the extra stuff.
Is there a simple step by step procedure to direct Kodi to download images to the folder of my choosing?
