I would need to see a debug log. I have many artists with no images, and I haven't had a problem with images loading for the next artist.

I submitted a bunch more to the site that were accepted. But AS still only shows the first 3 and I can't seem to get it to grab the rest. I clicked my way through all the settings and all the menus I could find, but no luck. Thanks. (It'd also be cool to know how to disallow certain images from showing, but that's a separate question.)
AS checks for new images every couple of weeks. To force a refresh you need to go to the XBMC user data folder and then into addon_data/script.artistslideshow/Artist Information. Find the right folder and delete the .nfo file for the image source for which you'd like to refresh the images.
The artist names are hashed, so you might want to download Artist Slideshow Helper to get a mapping of your artists and their hash name. If you run AS Helper and get nothing back, try the beta. If fixes a problem when your XBMC version is using Python 2.7 or newer.
Quote:- Also, I'd like to slow down the slideshow. If I understand it correctly, that's something I'd have to do in the skin, not the add-on? I'm using Metropolis, FWIW.
You are correct, that is a skin setting. You should check with the skin developer to be sure, but usually that is in a file called MusicVisualization.xml. Look for the section for artist slideshow and there is a line for timeperimage. The setting is in milliseconds. It's worth mentioning that AS assumes a slide time of ten seconds. If skin developers set it to something else, then the slideshow timing when images are first downloading for an artist can be a little wacky.
