If you're using the "SLIDESHOW" setting for music viz, it doesn't use your extrafanart folder, it uses the Artist folder in userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistSlideshow. If it doesn't find the Artist, it will display images from the fallback folder you've assigned in settings.
Hi Latts,
this I don't understand. In my userdata/addon_data... folder is nothing inside. All the pictures in slideshow Kodi find in my folder \\server\Informations\Artistname. In this folder are also stored the logos and the extrafanart folder with fanart 0-10. The only pictures stored in Roaming\Kodi are the thumbnails.
all the best
Uwe

Holzfred - Im confused as well following these latest round of comments. I also dont understand why it is such a convoluted way of getting images displayed.. I have a special folder on the server like you. It is structured with 100s folders by Artist name and in those Artist's folders, it has the Artist Images (logo, clearart, banners, etc) and an ExtraFanart folder. In the ExtraFanArt folder, the Artist Slideshow plugin finds missing background images and dumps them into that server folder under the Artist. If the Artist Folder doesnt exist, it creates the relevant folders. However, my background image files do not get named fanart0, fanart1, etc. They get named by various filenames that the Artist Slideshow plugin downloads them by. Also, as like you in my local Kodi addon_data folder, I have nothing stored.
My slideshow under musicviz rotates through all images, for the artist, whether they are named fanart1, fanart2, etc or not.
I have noticed that there are several locations (various Kodi settings for when scraping, the Artist Slideshow addon, the music top menus) that you have to set the path to the "information" directory.
I also only scrape local, so I know when I scrape, it does get the clearart, logos, etc from this "information" directory for the Artists and my musoc folders have the relevant album art.
What I havent figured out is under the Musicviz, why is there an Artist Slideshow when the Slideshow seems to do the same thing (although I think the Artist slideshow only looks for files named fanart1, fanart2, fanart3, etc).
