@pkskout I still can't get the plugin to show in the visualisations menu, so i can't enable it (its now disappeared)

I'm getting logs like this over and over for most artists, maybe its related?

In fact all it does it report this log every second, it creates the folder in /Artistinformation/ but doesn't put anything in there (the .nfo files), what am i missing? Also i'm seeing this:

After a fresh removal and install and restart this is how it runs:

I decide to rule out the musicbrainz log by running picard and tagging an album, now its showing this in a loop:

According to the second log you posted, AS is finding images and setting the folder properly. You can tell with these lines:

Code:

15:05:57.614 T:140125685188352   DEBUG: [Artist Slideshow] cached images found
15:05:57.614 T:140125685188352   DEBUG: [Artist Slideshow] ArtistSlideshow set to /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistSlideshow/42b84ed6/
15:05:57.614 T:140125685188352   DEBUG: [Artist Slideshow] ArtistSlideshow.ArtworkReady set to true

The log snippet you posted is normal when you have AS debugging enabled. That loop is part of the process that checks to see if the artist has changed (which would mean finding a new folder to show). The AS debugging info is *really* verbose, so once we're done troubleshooting, I'd definitely turn it off.

To your first comment. AS will not show in any kind of list anywhere (except in the list of Program Addons) unless the skin is doing something different than the way the default skin does it. AS is *NOT* a visualization. It is a script that sets some skin properties so that a skin can use that information to show images of the playing artist. Using my Estuary mod, I have the visualization set to NONE. Everything else is automatic if you go to the skin settings and under ARTWORK set the option for "show music visualization screen directly when playing a song" to on (it's the second option, right under "show media fanart as background." If you do that, when you hit play on an item in your music library the screen will change and you'll get images in the background.

Since you didn't post the full log, I can't tell if you're using my Estuary mod or something else. If you're not using my Estuary mod, you should check with the author of the skin you are using. From everything I can see AS is working fine.
