No CD Cover shown

Hi there,

since the upgrade to Kodi 17 I don't get any CD Cover of my Music library shown. Due to some trouble with the existing configuration I started with a completely fresh config after the ugprade to Kodi 17.

Installed are the Addons:


The configuration of CdArt Manager:
Code:
<settings>
    <setting id="backup_during_update" value="false" />
    <setting id="backup_path" value="/home/sm/Daten/Cover/Backup/" />
    <setting id="change_period_atend" value="true" />
    <setting id="check_mbid" value="false" />
    <setting id="enable_all_artists" value="true" />
    <setting id="enable_fanart_limit" value="false" />
    <setting id="enable_hdlogos" value="true" />
    <setting id="enable_missing" value="true" />
    <setting id="enable_replace_illegal" value="true" />
    <setting id="enablecustom" value="false" />
    <setting id="enableresize" value="false" />
    <setting id="fanart_limit" value="10" />
    <setting id="folder" value="0" />
    <setting id="illegal_characters" value=':*&lt;&gt;/\|?&quot;' />
    <setting id="local" value="0" />
    <setting id="localcdart" value="0" />
    <setting id="mb_delay" value="9" />
    <setting id="mbid_match_number" value="10" />
    <setting id="missing_path" value="" />
    <setting id="music_path" value="/home/sm/Daten/Cover/" />
    <setting id="musicbrainz_server" value="http://musicbrainz.org" />
    <setting id="notify_in_background" value="false" />
    <setting id="recognized" value="0" />
    <setting id="remote" value="0" />
    <setting id="remotelocal" value="0" />
    <setting id="replace_character" value="_" />
    <setting id="resizeondownload" value="false" />
    <setting id="unmatched" value="0" />
    <setting id="unrecognized" value="0" />
    <setting id="update_musicbrainz" value="true" />
    <setting id="use_musicbrainz" value="true" />
</settings>

For testing I created one folder with only one Album as music source. The Album is tagged correctly, But no cover is shown. What did I miss to configure?

And I discovered another problem. My music folder belongs to a different user. So Kodi doesn't have rights to write into this folder. But instead of saving the covers to the specified folder /home/sm/Daten/Cover it tries to save something into the folder $Artist/$Albumname/.extrafanart. How can I prevent this?

Yahoo View addon

I mentioned this many months ago, but there was no response then so I'll try again. Has anyone considered coming up with a Yahoo View addon? As you may be aware, Yahoo View offers much of Hulu's content, but for free. It would be great if there were...

Incorrect levels scaling for JPG images

I've used Kodi for years to play video, but this is the first time I'm trying any pictures. I loaded up a bunch of JPEGs, but Kodi displays them with lifted blacks. These JPEGs are standard full-range 0-255, but it appears that Kodi is treating them ...

Addons in main menu?

Previous versions of Kodi / Eminence had Addons in the main menu. It would list my enabled Addons only. I am not seeing it after switching to Kodi. I need to go trough Settings and it lists All Addons both enabled and disabled. Very cumbersome...

Show information in Krypton?

In past versions of Kodi, I could click on a show, click I and it would show the path and file. I am not seeing that in Krypton. How do I display the location of the TV Show or movie?
