Maybe i'm not doing it correctly (i'm fairly new to xbmc), but i run into the following problem:
When i set a visualisation (that has transparent parts) all goes well: i see the images in the background and the visualisation in the foreground when i go to fullscreen. However: i find it annoying that the visualisation it sort of blocking the images.
When i select 'None' for visualisation i have the problem that the screensaver kicks in during the artist slideshow, even though i have selected the option that instead of the screensaver it should use the visualisation during audio-playback (but i guess that's because there is no visualisation).
The only option i have then is to disable the screensaver, but this gives two new problems:
1. this disables the screensaver also for all non-audio functionality
2. with this configuration it has happened twice that the slideshow images get stuck on one artist. When i look in the logs it says the script is already running when i start a new song (which is probably why the images for the new artist are not shown). I haven't been able to create an exact set of steps to reproduce this though. So, i can't even be sure it is really related to this configuration (no visualisation, no screensaver)
So, i guess if i don't want the visualisation to mess up the slideshow, while leaving the screensaver intact, i should create an empty visualisation? Or is there another way to do this?
