Release Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration)

The pieces that show the artist bio and such are in MusicOSD.xml. I checked the Frodo files against the Eden ones, and there are no substantive differences. It seems to me that the on-screen display should always display on top of anything else, otherwise there would be no purpose in having it. If you want to see the OSD without all the artist bio stuff, you can invoke the OSD using the "i" key instead of the "m" key. That'll invoke INFO rather than PLAYER CONTROLS.

Quote:I have another topic. I have several songs with multiple artists. For example one with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. It is apparent from XBMC's library behaviour that the correct way to tag such songs is "artist a; artist b". Then the entries for each artist will show the song and when it is playing the display shows the names separated by a "/". If I use e.g. "artist a & artist b" a new artist is created with that name in the library.

With songs tagged like this, AS shows info and photos only for the first artist. It would be wonderful if it could show them for each artist. It could so so serially, perhaps displaying each artist for an equal amount of the song's time. I.e.,
That functionality already exists. You can separate using " / " (notice the spaces), "feat. <artist name>" and "ft. <artist name>" This is somewhat consistent with the way the scrapers do it. I've never found any documentation for exactly what the XBMC scrapers separate on. I know the three I'm using were the two primary ones in Eden. If someone can point me to documentation on the scraper separators, I'll be glad to make sure AS uses the same rules. Or perhaps in Frodo there is a way to get all the artists bask as an array instead of just the raw string.
