Release Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration)
Hi

Maybe I was mistaken then, I just tried to play the same album and track 11 which is still tagged as "Grimes feat. Majical Cloudz" in the artist field, on my Windows 7 laptop, the version of Artist SlideShow on here is still V 1.5.9

No artwork gets displayed at all whilst playing this track and I haven't set a fall-back folder etc. So maybe it never displayed artwork for this particular track and I just thought it did.

So moving forward I now need to look at how its tagged to try and correct it.

Options:

1. Add a separator in the artist field e.g: Grimes / Majical Cloudz

or

2. Add the Featuring artist in to the song title field e.g. Nightmusic (feat. Majical Cloudz) and the artist field would just contain "Grimes"

Results:

1. Only displayed fanart for the artist "Grimes".

I then added the artist "Majical Cloudz" on to TheAudioDB.com website and added some fanart images, as I couldn't find them on Fanart.tv.
I then removed the Grimes artist hash folder and played the track again. But again only fanart images for "Grimes" were displayed and none for "Majical Cloudz".

Then looking in the folder where the artists hash folders get created I could see a new folder called 56eabeb8 had appeared, using the helper that folder is indeed for the artist "Majical Cloudz" however the folder was empty no images where inside it and no _exclusions.nfo file was present either.

2. Only displayed fanart for the artist "Grimes".

I then tagged the track as in option 2 and updated the music library to pick up the changes. I then deleted both hash folders for each artist and played the track again and its the same result. A new 56eabeb8 folder gets created for the artist "Majical Cloudz" but its empty.

I then double checked the AS settings that TheAudioDB.com is selected for artwork and indeed it is.

I tried to play this re-tagged track on both machines one with AS V.1.5.9 and the other is AS V.1.5.9.6 and both create the hash folder but it is empty on both machines.

Note - I do not have any "Majical Cloudz" albums in my library, they just appear on this one track as a featuring artist etc.

Thanks

EDIT: Here is a debug log file from the machine with AS V.1.5.9 and with the track tagged as in option 2.
