The skin is however displaying a 'Various Artsits' fanart image on the main XBMC menu OK, again AS is blank.
AS does look ups based on what XBMC passes for the artist name. So if the album artist is VARIOUS ARTISTS, that's what AS will attempt to find (and probably fail at). If the album artist is empty and the individual artist has the artists actual name, then you have a better chance of getting art for that artist. I don't use Aeon MQ4, but my bet is they are not using AS to display the stuff on the main menu. You'd need to check with the author(s) on that though.

The first artist art is loading but then artist slideshow keeps artist art of the first title even the next songs are played.
xbmc.Player().getPlayingFile() always return something like stream://pipe1 and did not change while the airplay stream
was continous.
Well, that certainly might explain the issue some folks have been having with streams. I don't really listen to any streams myself, and the code for that support was done by someone else. I see what you've changed, so let me see what I can do about an update to make that work better.
Quote:Also there is a smaller bug if you have turned on htbackdrops for artist retrieval. Since you removed the lastFM support the variables for image width and height caused an error because of missing variables(line 877 in default.py). I put in some hardcoded width and height in the url for htbackdrops and solved this for me.
That issue was (as far as I know) resolved with the release of 1.5.8. Please make sure you have the current version. If you have 1.5.8 and are still having the issue, please post a debug log so I can have a look.
