To be honst I'm not 100% sure exactly what is happening. But MAI, in
LocalArtwork.pm, has -$defaultArtistImg =
Slim::Web::HTTP::getSkinManager->fixHttpPath(preferences('server')->get('skin'),
'/html/images/artists.png');- as the fallback artist image. Material
ships a more material-esque fallback image in
-MaterialSkin/HTML/material/html/images/artists.png- Now, I'm guessing
if Material is set as the -default- skin, then its -artists.png- is
being picked up as the icon to use for artists in the 'My Music' list.
As stated, I have seen it appear on my SB Radio.
I can easily remove the Material shipped artists.png - but then I get
the LMS -icon- artists.png used as an artist -image- fallback. Which,
IMVHO, is not a good mix. Hence, if MAI used its own, generic, fallback
image (e.g. the one above) then the issue would be resolved. After-all,
a generic CD image is used for missing album covers - so why not the
same for missing artist images?
*Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json
2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open console tab in developer tools
4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS will be logged here.
