Today I've made an update to 17.0, installed AS and AS Helper and installed the modded skin from your repository too. AS shows a message that it's downloading pictures. The pictures can be copied correctly with AS Helper. But Kodi is not showing the slideshow. Not the downloaded pictures, not either the local ones.

I see where AS sets the directory for the artist images to Y:\Fady Maalouf\extrafanart, but when it goes to see if there are images, Kodi generates a directory read error:

Code:

XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting Y:\Fady Maalouf\extrafanart

This generally indicates that the directory doesn't exist or isn't readable by Kodi. Is Y: still a valid drive mapping on your system?

Thank you for your answer.

Y:\ is a valid drive mapping ... I can choose this directory in the AS-settings and I can view the pictures using explorer and opening drive Y:
however ... I copied the folders to local drive H: and changed AS-settings - getting the same result as before: no slideshow

Why is AS started and stopped every time I start playing music?

Code:

No idea. AS is called by the skin. Since you didn't include the full log, I can't tell what skin you're using. I've never seen that behavior with either the Confluence or Estuary mod. If it's one of my skins, I'd need to see the entire debug log. If it's another skin, you need to check with the skin author.
