it's getting better. Now artistbio.nfo, artistsalbums.nfo and artistsimilar.nfo are written. Then i get a script error and the log below.
Seems only artistimageshtbackdrops.nfo, artistimageslastfm.nfo and the *.tbn are missing now. We're close

I posted another patch. Same link as above.

Two questions:

1- Do you have AS set to use both local and remote artwork? That's the only way I can figure you got the error where you did. I tested this time with that option.

2- Are you running this with debugging enabled when you first test? The error you got this time was another error where AS was trying to log a non-ascii character to the XBMC log. The only time those logs are written is when XBMC is in debug mode (or at least logging debug messages). It needed to get fixed either way, but I just want to make sure I didn't miss something else.

Hi pkscuot,

it works

To answer your questions.
1) Yes, i have it set to both local and remote (can't remember why. read the wiki and decided thats the way to go^^) --> my settings.xml
2) xbmc was not set to debugging mode during the previous test runs. but i use it often to iron out errors (advancedsettings.xml is set to <loglevel>0</loglevel> atm)


One error did show up in the log, but it didn't stop the script:
---------
22:47:32 T:1392 ERROR: C:\xbmc_frodo\portable_data\addons\script.artistslideshow\default.py:457: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
if( xbmc.getInfoLabel( self.ARTISTSLIDESHOW ) == self.BlankDir):
---------
Not sure if that can lead to some unknown effects.

Thank you very much for your efforts. You did me a great favour.
