Which leads to my one question, that I believe is actually not related to your script but perhaps you'll know. Apparently all the images your script downloads are also getting stored in my /home/user/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails folder. The hashes that XBMC uses are slightly different, and the folder structure is completely useless - seriously?!? a hex based root folder structure from 0-f? Uh, good luck finding a picture that is miscategorized! Anyway, the question is - do you (or any of the others on here) know how to keep XBMC from stashing an extra copy of the artwork that's getting downloaded? I really only need to store one copy...

Look for Artist Slideshow Helper in the official repo. It will create a text file that tells you the hash name for each artist in your library. After you install it, go to the settings, enable the hash mapping, select a location for the file, and run the addon.

Thanks for the super quick reply. That's what I was referring to as "AS Helper" in my first post. It does a fabulous job of moving all the hashed files from /home/user/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistSlideshow/xxxxxxx into the folder I wanted them in, complete with artist/extrafanart subfolder layout. Works perfectly, but I noticed that even after running it, the thumbnails still exist in the previously mentioned "Thumbnails" folder, which is unrelated to Artist Slideshow as far as I can tell, since XBMC throws a bunch of junk in there.

To be clear, Artist Slideshow Helper does exactly what you describe, and does it well. Thank you!

Sending you a PM with a logfile that will hopefully help out with Gotham compatibility stuff.
