Hi Pkscout,

Love the add-on, but unfortunately since Frodo, I have had Artist Slideshow work for only a few tracks before it encounters an error and crashes.

I upgraded to Helix on the weekend, with AS 1.8.2...but unfortunately no joy....the script consistently crashes after a few songs.

Attached is a log file....I hope you can suggest a course of action!

I'm sure it is something trivial...

btw, I am running Kodi 14.1 on Gentoo

I have no idea what is causing that, and most of the error seems to be in the Requests module. The really odd thing is that the line number the error log has for where the issue is in AS doesn't match with the actual code. I'd suggest manually deleting AS and the Requests module and then reinstalling from the Kodi repo. To manually delete you need to quit Kodi and then go to the data folder for your install and then go to addons. Find script.artistslideshow and script.module.requests and delete them. Then restart Kodi and reinstall. Hopefully that'll do it.

- I stopped Kodi, manually deleted the 2 directories above as directed.
- Relaunched Kodi, ran the Add-on update and it reinstalled both the AS and Requests module from the Kodi respositories

Unfortunately, it still crashes...in the past it used to be able to show a few images before crashing, but now it is blank until the script fails.

I've added a link to the new logs....perhaps they might shed some light

I also tried moving my .kodi folder to a backup location .kodi.bak, then restarting kodi, ie so that it loads the default settings and downloads all the plugins again to create a fresh profile.

Unfortunately it doesn't make any difference. It's probably some incompatibility with the distro I am using

Thanks
