I'm going to have to think about this, but right now I'm leaning towards not supporting the Kodi music artwork location.  It was never designed with addons like AS in mind and I feel like I'm constantly kludging stuff to get it to work.

It is true, the new handling of artist artwork in v18 onwards didn't consider the Artist Slideshow at all, or any other addon come to that. I only use one addon myself (the Audio Profile switcher), so am totally oblivious to addon needs unless authors talk to me. I write about the design changes I'm making in the music support subforum, and welcome input, I don't see how else I can be more open and communicative.

Maybe someday if Kodi let's a skin display a list of images rather than a folder.

I like the idea of adding a new image control that allows for a "family" of art types e.gf fanart1, fanart2... but have to admit that the GUI engine is a steep learning curve of old code and no one about to give hints, so I may never get to create such a thing let alone for v19.

So meanwhile is there some other more simple core change that could help?
