However, how about using the "fallback" folder for when a new artist's photos are in the process of being downloaded? That way, we could create a folder with only one picture in it (be it black, our XBMC background etc.) and have that display, right until the moment when the first image gets downloaded for a new artist? I'd much rather like that, instead of having it display pictures of the previous artist.
I'll have to look into that. It will require another setting in the preferences (which are borderline too confusing anyway), but it is, in theory, doable. I just need to decide if it's something that really *should* be added. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Definitely..I think something like this would be an essential improvement to this addon. This addon is such amazing eye candy but with a slow and/or congested internet connection the wrong artist does get displayed for quite some time sometimes. This significantly reduces the show-offy appeal of the addon. So, anything that could ensure that an incorrect artist is never shown would be an essential improvement in my view....Hetoft's suggestion seems like a very sensible method.
I have another small (I hope !) feature request. XBMC supports multiple artists in ID3 tags. If the two artists are separated by " / " the song will show up in the library under both artists.
However I think that whenever Artist Slideshow tries to get images for such a track it reads the total ARTIST field entry as a single artist. (Ie. It would read Nicki Minaj / Rihanna as a single artist and return no results.) If this behaviour is currently as i think it is would it be possible to change it to return results either for both artists or just the first one?
Thanks so much - love this addon so deeply!
