Any ideas why the Artist SlideShow add-on might be picking up incorrect artists from HTBackDrops

htbackdrops uses a name based searching mechanism, so every once in while you will get images for the wrong artist. Unfortunately there isn't anything that can be done about that (at least as far as I can tell).

And I wasn't sure if my local fanart was being picked up by the Artist SlideShow either?

I'd suggest setting AS to use local images first and then turn off all the download sites. Start with a clean AS cache folder and then play an artist you know has local images and see what happens.

Hi

OK I did as you suggested, I changed the setting to "Use local images first" and unselected all the download fanart websites, I then deleted all the sub folders from .xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistSlideshow and from .xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistInformation and then rebooted.

I then proceeded to play an artist I know has a "local" extrafanart folder with some images in there. The path being on the file server \\WHS\Music\Grimes\extrafanart

Whilst playing this artist the Artist SlideShow was then black / empty displaying no images at all.

I then changed the setting to be "Use remote images first" and selected the download fanart websites apart from HTBackdrops this time and rebooted again, now when playing this artist images are displayed in the SlideShow. Remote images from the download fanart websites.

So as I suggested it doesn't seem to want to use local files. Local being artwork files on my file server. I have set the path to the root music folder in the AS settings as SMB://WHS/Music etc.

Many thanks
