Hey, Kyle,
I started using the new Pandora Slim addon. What's nice is that compared to the various online radio streams, it returns artist, song title and album information. Artist Slideshow works for the first song fine, but displays a black screen instead of artist artwork for subsequent songs. If you exit and re-enter fullscreen, artwork will usually start displaying for that track fine. Also, if you click forward to the next track manually instead of waiting for the song to end, the art will usually be displayed. This is not consistent, though.
This issue could be related to the addon itself and not Artist Slideshow, but I figured I'd let you know about it. I turned on debugging in XBMC and Artist Slideshow:

The first track played is Fats Waller and the artist artwork displays normally. I let the song run to the end. The next song is by Carl Sonny Leyland Trio, who has no artwork online. I use a fallback folder for Artist Slideshow, but that doesn't display either. I exit and re-enter fullscreen and then the fallback artwork displays fine. Next, I skip forward to the next track, which is Count Basie. No artwork displays. Curiously, exiting and re-entering fullscreen doesn't make artist artwork (or fallback artwork) display, even though Count Basie has artwork available at both fanart.tv and htbackdrops.org.
