The "AlbumArtist"-tag is "Various Artists" and each mp3 is tagged with a different "Artist". SkinHelper displays the "AlbumArtist" instead of "Artist" for every song.
It looks like this:
Various Artists - I walk the line
instead of
Johnny Cash - I walk the line
The clearart for the artist is correct btw
Oh yes, I'm currently specifically passing the albumartist but I can't remember why I did that
I will change it to just the artist. Please test with next update

At the radio streams, there are too music tracks where information about artist (before sign "-") looks like that:
artist1 Feat. artist2
I want to have similar efect like artistslideshow for extrafanarts.
It separate multiartists and search date for each other (sections: ' feat. ',' Feat. ',' Feat ',' feat ',' ft ',' ft. ',' Ft ',' Ft. ',' & ')
In the next step it combines all data together and put in following properties:
OK, I got it, wouldn't be too hard to accomplish but I'll have to overthink it for a bit.
I will look at it later this week, for now an easy fix is to use all artists for the lookup, this can later be extended with some additional properties if there are multiple artists.
BTW: using "&" as a seperator for multiple artists is very dangerous as there are plenty of bandnames thas actually contain a & so I will leave that one out.
Most common splitter is / (kodi default) or some variation of "featuring".
The main other thing I will adjust just now is to support various artists albums.

When I will know that it finnished refresh cache SkinHelper?
Currently you can't, only by using the contextmenu. And you also shouldn't as soon as the final bugs are squeezed out.
I might however add an option in the context menu for that later on, to simply clear the cache for musicart.

You can leave the original file names.
It will be easier to see what is missing.
No that's impossible because I can't determine correctly if the image already exists...
The only thing I can think of is by comparing the filesize but that will slow down the process definetely.

in the version of yesterday it works, on the new version its broken again.
when the tvshow title in epg is the same as the next he shows the same plot, but there must be different plots.
I find that hard to believe as there has'n't been any new version since yesterday :-)

Did you enable musicart ? Skin.SetBool(Skinhelper.EnableMusicArt)
And, as always, if you think something is not working, first check the wiki for any change of behaviour and the kodi logfile for any errors.

If I understand correctly how this works, I guess you can just add the folder that is in the zip file to the "resources/language" folder of the addon. Please let me know if you are interested in me providing updated Spanish strings files for the other addons as well. Thanks.
Thanks ! I prefer PR's but this is also okay, I'll incude it in the next update. And yes, if you want to contibute by translating the language files, that's very welcome!

It works fine with Tvheadend but maybe this is handled differently between PVR backends.
Can you check the output of ListItem.FileNameAndPath ?
And yes, I've added a bit more info/logging to better feedback what's going on. So, in your case it couldn't match the title from the grouped recording.

SKINHELEP does not work for the artist AC/DC.
Artist AC/DC is in the folder ACDC
