I tried both Kodi 17 & 17.1 standard Estuary skins and did not see the black-screen-when-art-not-found problem. It only happens with the mod'ed skin and AS running. I can't disable AS to try the mod'ed skin alone. Kodi says it can't be disabled because it is in use by the mod'ed skin. It says this even when I'm using a different skin. BTW, I have the "Use transparent image when no art is found" option turned on in AS settings.
The change of the top & bottom text & progress bar disappearing from the OSD when the album art, title, etc. disappear, that I mentioned upstream, is indeed a 17.1 change.
Blending of fanart with the blue background happens in the standard skin. I'm going to file a bug against Estuary. Done. The bug is http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/17385.
