Yes, for the ones that I want to change.

(Also better say that I use the ' Artwork downloader' plug in. )

For seasons, I think that you can change the image by pressing c on the season cover, then change it there.

I don't know about the fanart.jpg, just tend to leave it as it is.

Yes that should work fine. You can test it with one movie. Just rename the movie and update your library. Remember to remove the invalid movie link once done.


How to add sources - dmbmay98 - 2012-02-09

I know this is a complete newb question and I am newer to xbmc but i have this skin and cannot figure out how to add sources to a main menu item. For example, there is a Concerts menu item but I am not sure how to get my files in there and how to add a source. My movies and tv shows automatically worked since I had those before I installed the skin. Your help is appreciated!

Hi all, has probably been asked before but i have looked and cant find the answer.

Is it possible like in eden confluence to have Addons on the home screen like youtube 4od Iplayer etc? If its possiblei will use this skin instead as it looks awesome.

Thanks in advance.

Just following on from earlier, I think this here:
FanartTV Support

is quite handy when looking into different types of fanart that can be downloaded.

Not really up-to-date though and only lists images from fanart.tv
some more info on this:

Yes, should have added that I use 'Artwork Downloader' plugin to get from TVDB & fanart.tv (I think thats what it does!!)

I saw the one on the wiki, but didn't include it as it doesn't mention MQ3 and MQ2 is mostly '?'s, where as the fanart one does, although only good for the one site. as you say.

Yes, I have the iplayer one:
Image

Video files, then add the iplayer to favorites by using 'c' add to favorites!

Settings>Skin Settings> Shortcuts & Backdrops (at the top of the page)>Favorite(pick a number)>Activate>Select a favorite. It should now be on you homescreen.

I think the above should work.

Thanks thats one suggestion, just liked the way you could add five to the menu in confluence and wanted to do the same.

Great Skin, but I have a quick question, been searching as much as possible but doesn't seem like you have one place to list all cases for media.

What are all the cases (tags) for video files?

Cases I'm aware of:

Movies:
HDTV
bluray, bdrip, 3dbd
DVD

TV:
WEBTV

Are these all the cases? Besides the standard ones that show for codecs.

I was wondering if its possible we could have cases for video resolution versus using the codec cases. So my MKV's, AVI's and etc would have cases that would look like this:

3DHD (SBS)
HD 1080P
HD 720P
SD 480P

The reason for this is because I archive my media so I have multiple formats for everything for different uses, and using the HDTV tag for rips is not as informative of the actual rip then having the box show the a resolution tag.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for making such an awesome skin. This is my first post to discuss an issue that has been driving me nuts Sad ....

Exact problem has already been explained well by another user for another skin, that is:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=246961&postcount=701

I was wondering if such a feature is at all possible in the Aeon MQ3 skin?

I am using the xbox controller right stick to do analog seeking. But without any visual feedback, i am never sure when to release the thumb stick. I hope I am not sounding weird Sad ...


fanart - thebearnecessit - 2012-02-10

Does anyone know how to get fanart working?

What I'd like is just to have one image per artist that is in the background when i'm playing music.

I just can't figure out how to do it!

Is this what im supposed to do?

step 1) add an add-on that will find fanart for me
step 2) make sure fanart is turned on in the settings
step 3) manually add fanart for every album by using the context menu?

am I doing this right? is there a better way?


- LAW-Mastermind - 2012-02-10

Hey Marcos, love your skin, any chance you integrate this?

Would make your skin a bit more perfect Smile


- terminaldawn - 2012-02-10

Is there anyway I can set an activated playlist to play random fanart images similar to how the "TV Shows" and "Movies" tab do? Also is there a way to re-order the Main Menu items?


Additional Details and back story below:
I have been reading through the thread and searching and I cant find an answer to a question I have. If anyone can lead me to an answer I would greatly appreciate it.

I have activated two different Playlists to display on the main menu. I created playlists in order to seperate Family Movies from Non Family Movies (makes it easier for my daughter to pick and chose a movie, etc...). I would like to have the background image cycle through the movie fanart just like TV Shows and Movies menu item does.

PS - Love Love Love the skin! Thank you Marcos for the work you put into this. IMHO this should be the official skin for XBMC. It exceeds confluence in every way.
