Thanks for creating Artist Slideshow! I really adds to my enjoyment of XBMC!
I'm having an issue where some of my Shoutcast radio stations show the same artist image every time, even though the song title and artist constantly change. I looked in xbmc.log, but nothing popped out at me. Does Artist Slideshow have its own log somewhere? If not, any idea why Artist Slideshow would do this with some Shoutcast stations, but not others? I'm reluctant to delete the Artist Slideshow addon data and start over, because I've been using Artist Slideshow for a while now and I don't want to lose all of those Last.fm images. I have 6+GB of artist images!
Thanks again!

Okay trying to find a radio player that will work with artist slideshow. So far it works fine with local stores images for the artist. But no luck on pulling artists remotely based on the artist playing. Sure it's some other setting I am missing.

Will eventually find out how to post a debug log. Also seeing random inconsistent attempts to search. I turned on the text message that tells me if ARTIST SLIDESHOW even tries to find an artist. It flashes a few times after a fresh reboot. Then just stops

I switched platforms to a win7-64bit machine. Will do testing under the CCM skin and report back after the holiday. Actually want both platforms to work. So will beat on it until it does

@ pkscuot,
What a great add-on. Wish I had discovered it sooner.
Liking things organized and clean, I have a couple of questions on whether you've considered: 1) having the scraped artwork get saved in the artist's folder, rather than the addon_data\script.artistslideshow\ArtistSlideshow folder? 2) having the extensions *.jpg rather than *.tbn so they are easier to check; and xbmc has moved on from *.tbn.
Thanks & keep up the great work.

Which radio tools provide metadata correct? Skyfm tool.
