Release Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration)
AS does have issues with stripping out html tags such as
Code:
<a href...> </a>
and
Code:
<span...> </span>

Here is an artist which I have artist tagged as 치치 . I use this because it is "last.fm" friendly. In musicbrainz if you search from a browser, it immediately finds the group as Chi Chi via an alias tag in the mb database. I don't think AS could ever deal with this. But it does get the lastfmartistbio.nfo with no problem. However, if you look at the data in that file, you see:
Code:
<![CDATA[        CHI-CHI (<a href="http://www.last.fm/music/%EC%B9%98%EC%B9%98" class="bbcode_artist">치치</a>) is a South Korean all-girl quartet (formerly having seven members) signed under the label <span title="Unknown label" class="bbcode_unknown">Yedang Entertainment</span> (예당엔터테인먼트). They debuted in 2011 with the release of their first digital single, '<a title="치치 &ndash; 장난치지마" href="http://www.last.fm/music/%EC%B9%98%EC%B9%98/_/%EC%9E%A5%EB%82%9C%EC%B9%98%EC%A7%80%EB%A7%88" class="bbcode_track">장난치지마</a>' (Dont Play Around), an upbeat dance-pop song. Their comeback song, '<a title="치치 &ndash; Longer" href="http://www.last.fm/music/%EC%B9%98%EC%B9%98/_/Longer" class="bbcode_track">Longer</a>' ('롱거') was released on July 2011.  Their name &quot;CHI-CHI&quot; is an acronym for &quot;Creative electronic House Idols&quot;. The members are: Shine (샤인),Semi (세미), Ah Ji (아지), , and Soo-i (수이). Former members are: Nara (나라), Ji Yoo (지유), Boreum (보름), and Peach (피치).

But this is what shows in XBMC 12.2 (Ace skin):

So I wrote a script that strips out all the tags from the summary and content sections of the nfo:

Code:
<![CDATA[        CHI-CHI (치치) is a South Korean all-girl quartet (formerly having seven members) signed under the label Yedang Entertainment (예당엔터테인먼트).

and that fixes the display:
