Tema: Automatic source selection for slideshow based on artist of currently playing song
Hello,
I have a folder with pictures for a "Standard" Slideshow. In this folder there are also subfolders with pictures of artists. Sometimes I want to show only pictures of the currently playing artist in the slideshow.

This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH02eXUE3oE) is nice to show how to change the source of pictures in the Slideshow with a button.
However, there are too many artists to have a button for each of them.

Is it possible to have a script that automatically selects the right folder only with artist pictures as source for the slideshow? The folders are named after the artist.


My idea would be that something like


param_add `get_effect_string audioonlyvisualisation 1` `get text "%author"'

suffices, but it does not work. Can you help me what I am missing? I tried the whole day but I am still too new to scripting with vdj to get this somehow...Am I missing a frontslash in the path? I am lost..
