I saw mention of the documentation not being as up-to-date as the development.

I'm happy to add stuff to the wiki with screenshots and examples.

Just let me know if there is anything lacking...

The rating section may need an update to reflect how Kodi differentiates the MP3 ratings from FLAC ratings. Also the latest topic of discussion around saving artworks and their naming conventions.

Music roles is another area that should be documented here.

Last but not the least the video lyrics feature which is now available to atleast 5 or 6 different skins should be documented as well.

I think the wiki is pretty much focused on the default skins (and really, just Estuary). Skin-unique features are in 3rd party add-on sections of the wiki.

A new Music Guide has been created.

It has been written with the new user in mind and will step you through the process of creating and modifying your Music Library.

Hi, I am using Kodi Version 19 on Nvidia Pro Shield and my source is my QNAP NAS. While browsing through Movies folder, kodi never crashes but the moment I browse into my Music folder after a few albums, Kodi crashes and takes me to the Nvidia Screen.

There are around 2418 music folders in my NAS and scraping happens successfully. Only when I am browsing through the Music --- Albums Folder I am facing this crashing issue after few albums at the begining.

Anything which I am doing wrong or any changes that needs to be made...Please advise.

Yes I've had that before, usually its a corrupt JPG or PNG cover somewhere or even an MP3 tag.

Easiest thing to do is post a debug log from after the crash.

You can test by removing items from your library then re-adding them in smaller imports. Thats how I found a nasty MP3 with corrupted tagging. It crashed winamp as well when I tested.
