- mark007 - 2010-08-03 No as it degrades quality from an already degraded jpg format. I know only slightly but I prefer to leave all as jpg. Another Xbmc discussion seems to have discovered that depending on what poster file type you use xbmc sometimes downscales the image. Waiting on reply on the other thread. Folder.jpg seems to get resolution downscales to width of 512. - frag_dog - 2010-08-03 I just tried to install Aeon per the Linux instructions on at http://wiki.github.com/pix/aeon/linux-download-instructions One problem I found is after you create /.xbmc/addons/skin.aeon and run the "git clone git://github.com/pix/aeon.git" it will create a directory /.xbmc/addons/skin.aeon/aeon and it will install all the files in there. On my XBMC install (xbmcfreak-10.08-svn32178-lucid1 on a Acer Aspire Revo) it would not detect the skin. I moved the contents up one level and it then picked it up. Just incase anyone else has the same problem... - pixdamix - 2010-08-03 frag_dog Wrote:I just tried to install Aeon per the Linux instructions on at http://wiki.github.com/pix/aeon/linux-download-instructionsIt's a wiki you can edit it if you want (And fix any spelling mistake you can find ) - mark007 - 2010-08-03 mark007 Wrote:Posted over on the more xbmc related forums regarding the low resize quality http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=78274 Well after a discussion over at another xbmc thread regarding this difference between folder.jpg and movie.tbn, it seems aeon65 is using cached and resized thumbnail of folder.jpg for both library and information view and cached / resized thumbnail for library, and full resolution movie.tbn for information view. My question is, is it reasonable to ask for a feature request, that full resolution of any poster file be shown in information view, not just the movie.tbn. This would make the skin more consistent in the way it handles posters in the information view. I'll create an aeon bug report for the above if its still felt to be fixable by you guys. I have renamed all posters to movie.tbn now (third time lucky - had to rename to folder.jpg for http://github.com/pix/aeon/issues#issue/55) ------------------ So now that I'm concerned that aeon65 isn't show the original version of certain file types, I did a quick test on Tv Shows, and the main poster for the show. Below are my test results for one TV Show, Dexter. Strange results again on reload. Two problems, 1) aeon65 doesn't seem to show load many file types in library view for tv shows (most concerning is folder.jpg for information dialog), and 2) it seems to be loading a cached version of the poster in the info field..... even when I completely remove all posters and reload. Leaving it hard to diagnose folder.jpg read problem. Editing of image might be required to really prove to yourself that folder.jpg file isn't being read from disk after reload in information area. Type--------Library--------Information dialog folder.jpg--------Yes--------No (unless already cached, dunno why cache is still there even after reloading). <show>.tbn--------No--------No (unless already cached, dunno why cache is still there even after reloading). <show>.jpg--------No--------No (unless already cached, dunno why cache is still there even after reloading). poster.tbn--------No--------No (unless already cached, dunno why cache is still there even after reloading). poster.jpg--------No--------No (unless already cached, ,dunno why cache is still there even after reloading). Testing now in confluence, but can any of the aeon developers shed light on how much control it has over what files / data it can load for posters in library view, and in the information dialog while I try to get more detailed information for a bug report. - PBoD - 2010-08-03 mark007 Wrote:1) aeon65 doesn't seem to show load many file types in library view for tv shows (most concerning is folder.jpg for information dialog), and This has to do with how XBMC itself processes thumbnails. However, this is currently changing. Here is the current process. - mark007 - 2010-08-03 oh.... that probably explains it thanks. I'll have to wait until its more stable before I go creating bug reports - Shinu - 2010-08-04 hubfred Wrote:Hey guys, I'm having a similar issue. the background of my video section suddenly appears black. i can't exactly recall, but i believe the background used to be the multiplex curtains. don't kno why it's not displaying. is there a way to fix this or have the mainscreen backdrops display when in the videos section? Bug - PinkFlojd - 2010-08-04 I can't use my mouse to click the "progress bar" when playing videos. Can't use it to click any button. Though while in menu's I can use the mouse just fine Also, when I start playing a video-file(shared from another computer through network, perhaps related? haven't tried playing local files yet) my screen goes blank and then shows the menu again before playing as should. - pixdamix - 2010-08-04 Shinu Wrote:I'm having a similar issue. the background of my video section suddenly appears black. i can't exactly recall, but i believe the background used to be the multiplex curtains. don't kno why it's not displaying. is there a way to fix this or have the mainscreen backdrops display when in the videos section?Flease post your bug report here with a screenshot of the problematic view: http://github.com/pix/aeon/issues PinkFlojd Wrote:I can't use my mouse to click the "progress bar" when playing videos.

I got into XBMC because of the Aeon skin and now I can keep it! - >>X<< - 2010-08-04 mark007 Wrote:Well after a discussion over at another xbmc thread regarding this difference between folder.jpg and movie.tbn, it seems aeon65 is using They are not bugs they are skin behaviours Aeon pulling movie.tbn you could actually call it a skin hack If you want to have Aeon pull the folder.jpg on the movie info screen its probably the easiest thing to change just look for the following in the DialogVideoInfo.xml Code: <control type="largeimage"> Change movie.tbn to folder.jpg thats all you need to do obviously your lose the movie.tbn being pulled unless you add a separate entry and more code While your there look at the dimensions its using 486x720 like I said in the other thread skins are 720 and that's the size your seeing, cache your thumbs at a size larger than 720 and its going to look no different than pulling the movie.tbn and displaying it at 486x720, you need to change cache size if you ever plan on moving away from aeon as other skins use cached on info Here's a comparison one cached at the largest available size the other movie.tbn being pulled the difference minimal http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/3061/comparsison.jpg I still don't understand why you want folder.jpg over movie.tbn they are exactly the same except for the extension movie.tbn can be seen in windows as an image with a simple reg change - gargoyle67 - 2010-08-04 Am I missing something with multiplex view and the bottom style view option with the 4 thumb nail pics view ?
