Have you checked the kodi support thread for the addon in question ?

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=77031&page=138

For problems specific to an addon it’s best to check the addons support forum for assistance from the author.

BTW near the beginning of the log it says Frodo - if that means the addon was written for the Frodo release of XBMC then it is very out of date now (2 years and 2 major versions behind) and may not work with Helix - again check with the author for an update if that is the case.

this addon is preselected in the OSMC image so if the problem is that this addon is not compatibel with osmc then the same problem will be for everybody which select this addon on his osmc image installation.
So the solution should be done by the osmc team (remove addon or change the addon to newer version).

But i will also check the fork from cdart manager

thanks for your response

I think you misunderstand how Kodi addons work and the ecosystem around them.

This addon is not pre-installed in OSMC - it is a part of the default Kodi repository and that repository is pre-installed in all installations of Kodi not just Kodi on OSMC. This repository provides a means to download and install addons which are listed in the repository.

At the time that you install the addon it is being downloaded from a 3rd party site and installed. The Kodi developers (note - not OSMC developers) have decided to aggregate and include various popular 3rd party addons within their default repository however these addons are not written by the Kodi developers (nor OSMC developers) and they do not imply any sort of warranty or guarentee that these addons all function correctly or are fully compatible with current versions of Kodi.

Addons that are badly broken in current versions of Kodi are usually marked as “broken” in the repository (which will stop you from installing them) however this is not always the case.

Unfortunately it’s not the responsibility of the OSMC developers or Kodi developers to ensure that all 3rd party addons work. This would be akin to Microsoft being responsible for making sure every piece of 3rd party software on the planet works properly with a new release of Windows - and even if they wanted to pursue this impossible task it is physically impossible when only the 3rd party software developer is able to make the necessary changes to fix a bug in their software.

Likewise it is up to the 3rd party developers of Kodi addons to keep their addons up to date with new Kodi releases and fix any bugs in them - hence my suggestion to check in the support thread for the particular addon.

Looking at the last few posts in that thread it appears that that addon has been left to languish and has fallen out of date far enough that it doesn’t function properly. (As the addon interface tends to change significantly with each major release of Kodi, this can happen if the developer goes AWOL and stops maintaining the addon)

Hi,
I have a same issue here. Is there any alternative to CD?
What I would like to have is a Music Fan Art that appears when I select my music. Then during the playing I would like to see some slideshow for the Artist/Album selected. I followed this tutorial but without success:

Any suggestion?
