Well, after spending a week or so of hours here and there trying to get this working flawlessly i'm out of luck and patience!

Is AS the only option for showing fanart?

Try once more the following: Install Nebula Skin, while playing Music press "Tab" then "Enter" which should bring an OSD on the upper border of the screen. Then press the sign with the "head".

So you think its pkscouts skin mod being the issue? i'll test this shortly, but i want to use the default skin really!

Nebula isn't on 17 repo. I am using the modified skin by pkscout

EDIT: So, i've taken a screen recording to show the issue as clearly nobody understands what i mean! You'll see the artist image flash when i click "next" track after the artist "Talib Kweli". This only happens for some artists, yes there are a few here that don't even have art, but it happens with lots of artists that do, and you can see their art flash up (its in the ArtistSlideshow folder)

Two examples:

Sorry forget what posted about "Nebula", I did not got the whole story. I tried with 2Pac and AS is working as expected, for Kanu - no fanart shows up - it appears that there is no fanart available on Fanart.TV (you can check this by yourself with the MBID for the artists you don't get fanart). Posting log file (do not forget enable debug log in AS settings) would help to understand what is going on.
