Release Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration)
(2013-12-05, 03:44)curtis-r Wrote: I feel like such a noob but though this add-on works great, it ignores fanart in my Local Artist Folder [artist]/extrafanart. In the wiki (which is great - I wish other add-ons did that great of a job) it appears I need an "override" folder instead. Is that correct, and is that really wise? Wouldn't one think one would naturally want to use the fanart already present? And I hate to bring it up again, but it'd be nice to have the option to have this add-on add artwork to that extrafanart folder in my library.

No, I don't think you need to use the override folder. That folder is meant to show the images in a single folder no matter what artist is playing. So if, for instance, you wanted to play holiday music and have a slideshow of winter images and such, you could do that.

The Local artist folder is the one you need to set. So if you're stuff is setup like:

/Media/Music/Artist/extrafanart

Then you need to set Local artist folder to /Media/Music/

If that doesn't work (or doesn't make sense), please post a debug log and a screenshot of your settings. I'll take a look at it and see what I can do.

One caveat (and this is buried in the wiki but not necessarily obvious). If your artwork is on a remote volume, sometimes it won't show unless you map a local drive/mount point. I don't know why that's the case. AS technically just tells XBMC where to find the images and then XBMC shows them, so if the images exist in the right place and XBMC doesn't show them, it's a bit out of my control (although I'm trying to collect more information to figure out what's going on).
