    FH runs excellent now!
    Just a minor issue I found with multi-artists tracks:
    1. A multi-artist track is played, for both artists Fanarts already exist in the database.
    2. The Fanarts of the first artist are displayed.
    3. FH starts to download pictures for the second artist.
    4. The new Fanarts of the second artist are shown successively.
    5. The Fanarts of the first artist are shown successively.
    6. The new Fanarts of the second artist are shown successively.
    7. ... and so on.
    The expected result would be that the Fanarts of both artists are displayed randomly.
    If I stop and restart the track it works this way.

    Yes, it is, the plugin receives all the Fanarts for all artists at a single moment and then caches and mixes them. And in the list of Fanarts there is no sign to which artist he belongs. This is just a set of pictures that the database returned.

    The algorithm is something like this:
    • Got a list of artists
    • Selected pictures for this list
    • Mixed up
    • Shows in a circle as the list of artists or album does not change
    :)

    Does this mean that the Fanarts of both artists should be mixed after the update?
    In my case only the Fanarts of the first artist are displayed in sequence then only the Fanarts of the second artist but not mixed.

    This was not the case. It was like this:
    first Fanart of artist 1, second Fanart of artist 1, third Fanart of artist 1, first Fanart of artist 2, second Fanart of artist 2, third Fanart of artist 2
