Hello,
New to the forum and to Artist Slideshow. I'm running Frodo on Android with the Hybrid skin and Artist Slideshow 1.6.5. I have configured Artist Slideshow to download images from the different internet sources and also display additional artist info. But when I play music and go fullscreen, all I get is a black screen. It fades back to the standard wallpaper briefly in between tracks, and then fades back into a black screen. It will display the additional artist info though, so I can't figure out why it's not downloading images for the slideshow. All of my MP3's are tagged properly and clean. I even tried it from a second Android device, and the same thing happens. Any idea what could be wrong? I'd really like to get this working, any help is greatly appreciated.

I looked through the log, and I'm seeing a line like this every time AS tries to download an image:

Code:

unknown error while writing data to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/temp/adda96cc.tbn

My first thought would be that there is some kind of permissions issue (or maybe space issue) on the Andriod device causing the file not to be written to the initial temp directory. I'm not that familiar with Andriod and don't have any way to test. AS creates that temp directory on first run. Is it possible it's getting created with odd permissions?

Thanks for your reply. There's plenty of free space on the device but a permissions issue is possible. I don't know what the problem was, but I upgraded to the latest release of Gotham and Artist Slideshow works fine now. Must have been something related to the version of Frodo I was using, which came on the device. FWIW, the device is a G-Box Midnight MX2 and I know they make some modifications to the install of XBMC that comes on the device. Maybe XBMC was installed to an unusual location where it didn't have the necessary permission for Artist Slideshow to write the images, that would make sense considering I installed Gotham directly from xbmc.org and then it was fine. Anyway, I've got everything all configured and tricked out now. Thanks for the awesome add-on! I bought my Dad one of these devices for Father's day, so this was really a gift for him to show off his ridiculous collection of music and movies
