Pkscout,
Thanks very much for all the detailed info. I appreciate it. Especially over Christmas!

I understand now why AS isn't working right with my setup due to various reasons and happenings.

So I took your advice and wanted to try MQ5.
grabbed it from your GitHub. Upon install (for me), it fails due to there being no Rom collection browser script installed.

-i don't use RCB at all as I'm on Xbox one. Tried to find it in my add-ons but cannot find it.
-i would have thought it be done among the default install repos but I'm not seeing it (ver 18 Leia xboxOne). Maybe I should go find it on the forum and x'fer it to my xboxOne....

Alternatively, i might prefer just to go back to an older version of AS (2.x), think that would work?

I'm tagging @scott967 in this just because they're the ones maintaining the MQ5 stuff and might be able to answer that question.

If you want to revert to AS 2.x, you can download a zip of it here:

You should probably uninstall the 3.x version first, and once you install the 2.x version you need to set it not to update (the toggle for that is on the info screen for an addon).

Thanks PK.
Something's not quite right and I can't figure it out. I'm still on 18.4 here, uninstalled AS 3.X, installed the 2.x zip you linked, it mentioned update available, toggled auto-update OFF as you mentioned

Navigated to Settings, Player, Music, Visualisation . --but Kodi is showing NONE , no AS listed there. So it can't be selected.

As I say, under add-ons/my installed add-ons etc, it's listed there, but not showing up under PLAYER SETTINGS - MUSIC - VISUALISATION

Quit n reboot Kodi, still no show.

I uninstalled 3.x in the correct way.
