To do that I had to assume both the first and second positions were artists, so some things aren't quite going to work right in AS if the artist is in the second position. Namely:
First of all thank you very much for all your hard work on this Addon, I've been using it for many years now
I have one question though, and I'm not sure if it's to do with the App, the Skin or something completely different so I'm sorry if this is nothing to do with the App...
I usually listen to radio stations through the TuneIn2017 addon and on full screen the Artist Slideshow picks up on the Artist and Title and shows the correct fanart for the artist currently playing. It works with most radio stations but for example Kerrang! Radio shows the artist and title in the opposite order, so first Title and then Artist, and with that the Artist Slideshow does not find anything or an incorrect Artist. Or at least that's what it looks like...
Is that something that can be changed or adjusted in Artist Slideshow or is that an issue with the Skin (Aeon Nox Silvo) or something that one just have to live with?
I already contacted the author of TuneIn2017 and he did some investigating with the result that it's outside his control. Here's his reply: Link to Post
Thank you very much!
- The artist bio (if you have that enabled) is based on the first position, so you'll either get no artist bio or, if the song name happens to also be an artist, you're going to get that bio instead of the actual artist.
- Similar artists (if you have that enabled) are also based on the first position, so ditto #1.
- The album list (if you have that enabled) is also based on the first position, do ditto #1.
- If the song name is also an artist, AS might manage to find images for them, so you'll get a mix of artist images where one of the artists isn't actually an artist for the playing song.
- You can't disable the option to show multiple artists, or the more aggressive search won't work.
