So I found a new issue today (in Kodi 17.6), which also affects Kodi 18 alpha (tested on Android Kodi 17.6, and Windows 10 Kodi 18 alpha).
Normally I name my Music folders as such...
NAS\Music\Madonna\
NAS\Music\Madonna\1984 - Like a Virgin
NAS\Music\Madonna\1986 - True Blue
etc...
Artist Image under NAS\Music\Madonna\folder.jpg works perfectly in both Kodi 17.6 and Kodi 18 alpha.
However I noticed that a few of my Music folders had this naming convention...
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\2004 - Avril Lavigne - Under My Skin
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\2007 - Avril Lavigne - The Best Damn Thing
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\2011 - Avril Lavigne - Goodbye Lullaby
Artist Image under NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\folder.jpg does not display, and instead it pulls the Music Album cover from NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\2004 - Avril Lavigne - Under My Skin\folder.jpg.
Renaming the folders to...
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\2004 - Under My Skin
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\2007 - The Best Damn Thing
NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\2011 - Goodbye Lullaby
Correctly brings up the Artist Image under NAS\Music\Avril Lavigne\folder.jpg (after a Music Source cleanup).
The reason I use the years in front of the Album name? In Kodi, you can sort by Asending or Desending, so you can have the first entry the newest Album or oldest Album.
