If AS is downloading the art, then the highest likelihood is that it's a skin issue. If you post a debug log (make sure both Kodi and AS debugging are on), I can check that. AS should work fine with the 15.x branch, and I only use standard Kodi XML files to create the settings area. So if the menus aren't working, that again points towards the skin.

Thank you for offering to help.
I went ahead and did what you said.

I've uploaded the log here:

Well, I can same something strange is going on, but I'm not able to duplicate it on any of my setups. Then again, I don't have Kodi 15.x on which to test, so I may have to try and get that on my development machine to see if 2.0 is having an issue with Kodi 15. It seems like AS is checking constantly for the MusicBrainz ID for the artist even though it shouldn't be. I don't know if that's causing your problem but, as I said, it is strange.

I'd like to try two things:

1- I'd like to try a different skin. If nothing else, you can try my confluence mod. You can download my skin repo at https://github.com/pkscout/repository.sk...-1.1.0.zip and then install the Confluence mod for your version of Kodi.

If that doesn't help, then:

2- Switch to the default skin, uninstall AS, backup and then manually delete the script.artistslideshow folder from the userdata folder, then download AS again and switch back to a skin that uses it.

If neither of those improve things, I may have to get Kodi 15 installed here to see if I can figure out what's going on.
