Hey, pkscout.
Thanks for all the effort you've put into Artist Slideshow over the years. It's a really valuable feature for XBMC (er, Kodi)!
I was thinking about the "old days" when Artist Slideshow had Last.fm support. Back then, we used to see lots of images in the slideshow of various resolutions and ratios. There was a lot of variety and for nearly every artist, some kind of image was displayed. I realized that, currently, Artist Slideshow seems to only pull HD 16x9 images. For many artists in my collection, this means that no images are displayed during playback.
One way to alleviate this issue would be to add the option to also pull non-HD 16x9 images from htbackdrops.org. I would also love to see the option to pull and display the 1:1 thumbnails from fanart.tv and htbackdrops.org as well. Is this possible?
