OK, well that's a step closer anyway. And I'm happy to help with anything other than unicode errors. '-)

I looked through you're log, and I'm seeing two things to check out.

1- On line 1236 I see that AS is requesting the image list from last.fm, but then on line 1238 AS logs that the site was unreachable. I just copied the URL from line 1236 of the log, and I get back a valid XML response from last.fm. Could you try doing that from the same location as your XBMC setup and see if there's something odd happening there?

2- On line 1054 (and repeated some other places), XBMC throws an error:

Code:

ERROR: Texture manager unable to load file: smb://WHS/Music/Sigur Rós/extrafanart/

This leads me to believe you may have some local fanart that you are trying to display as well, but for some reason XBMC can't load it. I see it's an SMB share on a Windows Home Server, so it might be worth checking on that as well.

Hi

If I copy the URL from line 1236 which is:

Code:

http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?autocorrect=1&api_key=fbd57a1baddb983d1848a939665310f6&method=artist.getImages&artist=Sigur+Rós

in a browser it loads a XML webpage OK and I can see all the XML code etc, at the top of this page it says:

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." which I presume is normal.



Regarding point 2 and the path smb://WHS/Music/Sigur Rós/extrafanart/ The Artist Slideshow add-on is not configured to use any local files just using the default settings etc and Use Remote Images First.

However Artwork Downloader add-on was setup to download artist extrafanart in to the local folders on the WHS. From the Windows 7 machine that was running XBMC I can browse to this folder OK and it contains 3x fanart images.

I have double checked the XBMC user account and my own user account and both have correct security permissions to access the folder.

If I view the Sigur Ros artist in XBMC, XBMC has cached these 3x fanart images and they are displayed / rotated OK as background fanart.

Thanks
