back to main music tile: background changes, but it's still Manhattan Transfer (and it will stick here!).
Fixed in next beta of skinhelper (already pushed to the repo)
Confirmed fixed.

Hmm, it should load instantly because all info is cached.
If you still have this issue can you do me a favor ?
1. In the addon settings for the skinhelper addon, enable verbose logging.
2. Restart Kodi and wait untill the images are shown.
3. Close Kodi and provide me your Kodi logfile.(please do not enable kodi debug logging)
The new skin helper seems to get the music backgrounds up from the cache. However, Photo backgrounds are still delayed. I did as you suggest and here are some of the indications from the log file: (thread 5712)

At this point the photo backgrounds appear!
Notes: I have precached music art (skin helper). The option to rebuild the wall images is set to 'reuse' (although it seems to be building them anyway). The artwork searched for does seem to vary from start to start.
