Release Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration)
(2015-01-07, 13:53)Bullsboy Wrote: Hi and a very Happy New Year to you

I am a huge fan of this addon and it's always one of the things I show off to people! I mostly use it with music addons like the Radio addon and TuneIn. Recently one of the stations I listen to has changed the way it shows Artist/Track info from the traditional Artist - Track format into Track by Artist. Consequently the addon fails to find anything (I'm guessing it's looking for the track title as an artist). The station in question is TeamRock and they do the same thing on both Radio and TuneIn.

Is there any way the addon can work with this or should I listen to another station :-)

There isn't any easy way to figure out if the word "by" is part of an artist's name, the song, or a separator, so unfortunately AS won't be able to parse the information for that particular station.

BUT is it possible to include in artist slideshow the option to save downloaded info into nfo locally. Usually I do not use XMBC to scrape info. I do it manually before adding it to XBMC.
Except with artist slideshow. I prefer to have locally all information.
But i do not know if it's possible with your addon.

By the way, happy new year Smile

There is no option to save the downloaded information in the override location. You either need to just use the downloaded information or manually create the override .nfo files.

my path to "local artist folder" is smb://DISKSTATION/Musique/"

My music folder is the same.
Music folder
/artist folder
/album folder
/override folder (for artistslideshow)
/albums (inside i have the picture of the album on artistsalbum.nfo)
/similar (inside i have picture from similar artist indicate in artistsimilar.nfo)
/artistsimilar.nfo & artistalbum.nfo & artistbio.nfo
/artist.nfo & fanart.jpg & folder.jpg

So according to the wiki i think i have the correct structure but artislideshow don't show up my info.
Do you know why ?

I'd need to see a debug log to verify, but it looks like to me that you put the override folder in your music folder. It needs to go in the local artist folder.
