First of all I think I should mention that the cdART plays the default spinning CD nicely. I am having many problems with the cdART Manager though, more than likely my fault. When I first loaded the manager, I did not see any artist or albums in the counter (bottom left). I then went to settings and directed it to the folder where my music is located on my external hard drive. I then went to advanced, and clicked refresh addon database. It loaded though the 4,523 albums by its count, but when it reached 100% it froze up.
After restating XBMC, I then began looking at its other functions. Both options under search artists returned blank windows. Automatic download returned with 0 downloaded. I then came to this forum to find any setup guides, I did not find anything closer than this thread. I read all of the posts and followed some of the advise given to others. Still have not found the error in my ways. I'm sure that I must be making some sort of ignorant mistake.
More information to help with my problem. I'm using XBMC 10.0 r35647, Transparency! 3.11.1, cdART Manager 1.2.5 and my OS is windows 7 64bit.
I would be greatly appreciative to any thread re-direct, setup advice or basically any help that gets me on my way to downloading and enjoying the amazing cdART.
Please post your xbmc.log to pastebin. Best way for me to see where the script is failing you would be first delete the \userdata\addon_data\script.cdartmanager folder, turn on debugging(in XBMC settings). Restart XBMC. Run the script. It should try to build the its internal database the first time. If it locks up(I think it will) upload your xbmc.log to pastebin.
I think it may be an 'special' character in your file(could be in the id3tag, filename, or file path) with the log I should be able to determine what it might be.
