RE: [RELEASE] Aeon MQ 5 - jazzperm - 2014-05-02

Been a few years when I tried an Aeon skin... Wauw this has become a great skin!!!

I tried to add a N64 emulator and add my rom collection, but I screwed it up. I succesfully added my rom collections and it collected all info and art. When I want to open one of the games it opens the N64 emulator instead of directly playing the game. Now I dont see how I can reconfigure this or add more games. I woud like to add some PC games too. How to do this?

I'm just starting to make the switch from WMC to XBMC so please bear with me.

I'm running into a blank menu and I couldn't find anyone else with this problem. The missing menu is the "Add Timer" menu for adding a recording from the EPG. Switching to Confluence the menu shows up properly. I also tried reloading Aeon MQ 5 and resetting the theme back to default settings. I am using XBMC 13.0 and NextPVR.

Here's a couple screenshots to show the menu in Aeon and in Confluence:

I absolutely love the Aeon MQ 5 Skin, so I'd really like to figure this out.

Thanks!

I have the same issue as clayton. Would love to switch to this theme, but can't due to this one issue.


RE: [RELEASE] Aeon MQ 5 - djoole - 2014-05-02

Hi, I would like to know if a movie has external srt subtitles.
Is XBMC able to parse this file to add the info into the library? I couldn't find a clear answer about that.


RE: [RELEASE] Aeon MQ 5 - djoole - 2014-05-02

Here is a mod, for those using the Shelf view, and Samu-rai cases.
Based on mikebzh44 mod.

Image

1. Make a backup of your addons/skin.aeonmq5 folder.
2. Download this zip file (https://www.dropbox.com/s/6bvtt5nlv7oq5ib/ShelfCaseMod.zip)
3. unzip it in the addons/skin.aeonmq5 folder (confirm the overwrite)
4. Restart XBMC
5. In parameters/skin/theme (i don't know exactly the path my XBMC is in french), choose CASE_MOD_BY_SAMU-RAI-2

It will add a new view for the videos, name SHELFCASE. You can find it just after SHELF.

NB : this mod includes Samu-rai cases

You need to overwrite xml file in 720p skin folder and add 2 new png files in media skin folder.

Files needed :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxr8o9a11b1yh5t/thumb_shelf_reflect_poster.png

https://www.dropbox.com/s/po49gy12h1cytkw/thumb_shelf_reflect_case.png


What i did :
- resized poster so that it doesn't overflow the case limits
- resized and repositioned codec image
- repositioned viewed tag
- removed the case side
- repositioned cd arts
- made the cd art reflect turn in the right way (i.e. opposite to the cd, because it's a reflect Wink )
- resized and repositioned reflects

Looks nice but I copied all 3 files over and I don't have that view type as an option. What did I leave out? I copied the xml and 2 png's to the media folder of the skin.

Looks cool. Nice job!

Also, there is no 720 folder, only a 1080i folder


RE: [RELEASE] Aeon MQ 5 - patseguin - 2014-05-03

Ok I was putting it in the wrong skin. Input it n the 720 folder and there is no shelf view available when I try to select it.

I think you will find the NextPVR client for XBMC has a skin file included for confluence (XBMC\addons\pvr.nextpvr\resources\skin.confluence\720p\RecordPrefs.xml)

You can try just copying that xml fle into the userdata addons\skin.aeonmq5\720p folder and see if it works, but it probably needs to be modified to use the MQ5 "look and feel" (I did this for the pvr.wmc skin file which has the same issues).

So, why would my shelf view be totally gone after adding these 3 files? Screenshot looks very cool and I'd like to try it. The only thing I don't have is "sanu-rai" cases. Is that something else I have to install? I did a search for it but didn't come up with anything.


RE: [RELEASE] Aeon MQ 5 - djoole - 2014-05-03

@patseguin,

Is the shelf view checked in the available views? Did you have it available before installing the mod?

My mod should work even if you don't have Samu-rai cases (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=184816&pid=1614349#pid1614349) but everything (placement, dimensions) is intended to work with them, so it will surely look weird if you don't install them.

Moreover, the point of this mod is using them, otherwise if you want to stick to the default cases, stick to mikebzh44 mod Smile

A question for MQ or Samu-rai : the skin is in a "720p" folder.

Does it mean it's in 720p? I would assume so, because when modding the shelf view, i found out that one pixel isn't on screen pixel but more..
And if so, why is it "just" 720p?

And another question : in the shelf view, there is a lot of aliasing on the cases borders.
Is there an option to make it better quality?

I think the skinning engine allows for different resolutions (at least 720 and 1080), but most skinners only design for 720 and let XBMC scale it as necessary.

Yes shelf is turned on and it was available before I installed this mod. As I scroll through views now, shelf doesn't even show up now.
