This is probably not an issue with your skin, but if someone can point me in the right direction, i'll post it there:
Artists with special characters cause issues with logos/art.
E.g. artists with dots:
Andrew W.K., W.A.S.P., Ray Parker Jr. etc
will not display art in playback, even though my folders are named correctly - probably bc you cannot name folders with dots at the end.
But if i run cdartmanager addon, it creates different folders with art in them for these artists:
Example: Folder Andrew W.K. -> Folder A8MUUG~Q
Artists with a / in them cause similar issues:
"AC/DC" turns into the folder AC with the subfolder DC and art in it.
Other bands get separated folders - "Denner / Shermann" gets turned to a folder "Denner" and a folder "Shermann".
It's a confusing mess.
KODI even has issues with upper/lower cases:
If folder "Rage Against the Machine" has art in it and an album by "Rage Against the Machine" as well as "Rage Against The Machine",
only the first one has art displayed.
I know i know, i can retag the other album to a lower case "the".
But c'mon... this should not happen.
Same with Mötley Crüe/Motley Crue, Motörhead/Motorhead etc...
Can i do anything to simplify this?
