Release Artist Slideshow addon (with skin and addon integration)
Hello there,

First of all, thank you for a wonderful addon! I've been using it for some time now in combination with the default confluence skin.

Recently I've upgraded to Jarvis and I switched to the Xonfluence skin, a modded Confluence.
Ever since though, I cannot seem to get Artist Slideshow working. For all I know it could be a skin setting, but I've been through most of them already.

Since you probably would be wanting some logs in order to investigate my issue, here it is.
For readability I've edited a ton of lines that are getting repeated, so hopefully it's something that might show a clue to what is wrong.

Starting the playback and showing the log:

Following lines get repeated several times:

Since the log gives an error about the missing "musicbrainz.nfo file", I've addes the tags with MusicBrains Picard to a couple of my MP3 files.
