Hi Scott, thanks for your reply. To be honest I wasn't meaning there was a problem with MQ5 specifically either. It's more that there are so many add-ons, tweaks, etc, including bits of bespoking I do myself to music visualisations and other bits I use a lot, that inevitably some little change results in things breaking. For me it's too much hassle to try and find out what, I prefer to clean things up a bit, update stuff, and see if that resolves it.
If you really want to see the log before I updated to MQ6 it's here but please don't spend to much time hunting. From lines 1115 or so onwards I think PKScout was correct that the error message does not stop the program running, but something else (or an incorrect setting) was stopping the images showing on screen. Just as an aside though I really like MQ6 so quite an inadvertant bonus.

I didn't see any particular skin problems. When a song is playing, you should get artist slideshow info on the home screen/window.

For PKScout:

So I looked over the MQ5 skin that I have been maintaining, also the upcoming MQ6. When either of DialogSongInfo or DialogAlbumInfo are loaded, the window does a RunScript(script.artistslideshow). If a song is playing info is filled in the dialog, but if no song is playing nothing returns. Of course it doesn't matter which song the "DialogSongInfo" relates to, since artistslideshow is only looking at the nowplaying song. I'm not sure what the intent was, but if it was to populate the dialog with artistslideshow info for the focused listitem, is it possible to do this? I tried calling it like this:

Code:

RunScript(script.artistslideshow,windowid=12006&artistfield=$INFO[ListItem.Artist]&titlefield=$INFO[ListItem.Title])

but that didn't return anything. Looking at the code maybe that only works when called from another add-on?
