Buzzz Wrote:Yes they are hidden everywhere.

I don't know what branch. How can I tell?

phil65 Wrote:Another small preview:

phil65 Wrote:where / how did you download?

dsim Wrote:why this is not possible to se how many albums there inside of the artist, and which albums? and i can switch from this view to any album i want.

dsim Wrote:also i think, there are to much view mockups in xbmc generaly, but no mockup with funcionality and music listening. in first line xbmc is media portal for learning when artist are born and where. and the second or third priority is listening or watching.

dsim Wrote:if i want to switch quick to my album, i cant. with winamp its faster.

dsim Wrote:for example in xbmc i have always to switch back, there is no possibility to go foreward.
for example if i'm listening to album...why there is no possibility to se next artists on the same screen, not to switch back.

dsim Wrote:i also, don't know, why all the skinners work on better designs, when the functionality of xbmc and logic behind is not good. it is only to much work for skinners.

dsim Wrote:so...Home Screen of aeon65.

I have recently and random items. if i scroll these, i have a cover on the left side. now imagine, how this is....on the right side the movie name, and on the left side the cover!? where should i look?

dsim Wrote:i want to say, there is no need to make a big work for design, if the funtionality is more important. there are to many skins for xbmc, but no skin has functionality. and there is also no perfect view mockup. i mean of all the skins no perfect.

if it is a good view mockup, then there is no rating of episodes, or movies, or there is rating as stars, as in the low list.

dsim Wrote:also in the low list for movies, i have to times director! under the title and on the right side.

dsim Wrote:the problem is, if i change something in the includes_....xml, and i make a update, then are all the changes of mine deleted. and so i have to wait for changes.

dsim Wrote:As i said, the cdart should be a part of albumcover. i mean, where is albumcover, there should be a cdart. and if i have for example in low list one albumcover, i dont need a second album cover at the top, either it is small. but the cdart shoul be in the album cover in the low list.

dsim Wrote:all the skinners make now big work for dharma, but the functionality....

for exmple, the random items in aeon... it would be more important to see the latest albums for music as no heard albums. but for movies no watched movies.

dsim Wrote:then...for xbmc is movie a movie and series a series. but its not the same a xxx movie and movie. also not a cartoon and movie. there is not a native support in no skin.

dsim Wrote:i think there are a lot of more important things, as green color.

if we waste time on xbmc's or not, depends not on design, but on functionality.

dsim Wrote:for music mockups there should music listeners be asked. there is no need to make as much view mockups.
and there are to many duplicate stuff on most screens.
i made changes on design in low list, because the gradient onfocus was 5px under the album cover. so if there is an update, i have to fix this the again, and maybe it is fixed with the new version.

dsim Wrote:i think it would be better we, on the forum here, should have the changes as they come, and not wait to version 2. version 2 is for people who dont know for changes and dont support you @phil65 in your work, aoen to be better.
if we have the changes you made now, then we can see if something could be changed, and if there is a bug. i think that would be more effective.

dsim Wrote:and as i said, for movies and series all the stuff is perfect, there are small things only. but for music listening (not music artist biography reading), there is not a soulution.

the funcionality, that i would appriciate to have as soon as you have changed

1. album fanart in home view, if no album fanrt inside the album, then artist fanart (of the artist, btw more fanarts in random of 30 sec. of the artist i'm listening to, you said version 2, but i cant wait any more )

dsim Wrote:2. cdart to be in albumcover, in every view mock up where is a album cover, plus if you can make the view mockup i posted 2 days ago as a draft. (if you tell me how to ad cdart to some of view mockups, i can do this job and send you the changes.

dsim Wrote:3. a separate default cdart for flac and mp3, mp4a. if there are no cdarts in album folder at least, than i have the information on the cdart what file i'm playing (this is not as important but i can make the cd images, because the default cdarts of xbmc are not great, and if this is possible form xbmc)

dsim Wrote:4. extrathumb from movie folder, series folder (not aeon folder)

dsim Wrote:design
1. i only can see strong colors btw cold colors... blue, green, and the strong red.

2. why not make one in orange, its more lounge like. or a sexy violette color.

dsim Wrote:3. graphics (for example list view or low_list) are to thick, to hard, heavy. in the low list, they could be

dsim Wrote:i would appriciate that, you update more often the changes you made, for us we would suport you.
i have much ideas for aeon, but if the important changes are made i will post that. then you will get on the repo with aeon65.

dsim Wrote:and dont think i dont appriciate your work. aeon is with font rework version much better than other skins. but, better is not perfect.

cheers

Buzzz Wrote:I added some repositories and downloaded aeon65 directly in XBMC live.

repository.googlecode.dandar3-xbmc-addons
repository.googlecode.xbmc-addons
repository.passion.xbmc.org
repository.queeup

I think i came from the passion-xbmc.org repository

Thanks for the help

phil65 Wrote:we don´t have several fanarts to choose from, so something like that won´t come.

dsim Wrote:the ember media manager has no option for scraping "country" tag for movies. so i switched to transparency skin to test the movie library with transparency because transparency has a country tag in movie information. then, i switctched to aeon and relised that, in no view mockup there is a country information.

there are 6 important things for movies.
1. title
2. country
3. director
4. duration
5. year
6. awards this can be not found in no scraper and no skin. awards are as important imdb rating, not the oscar, but the awards from venecia, berlin, canes
7. imdb rating
8. actors
.
.
.

if someone tell me, he had watched a movie "bla bla bla", then i ask which country,

and then come the other stuff.

in multiplex and old multiplex there is mpaa rating, not every movie has this information, but the country information has every movie. in low list under the title can come country instead of director.

Buzzz Wrote:Is this source ok? Could it be the problem?

phil65 Wrote:xbmc lacks support for awards, so it´s not possible atm. the other thing is true, it should be included somewhere. will see what i can do.

EDIT: just realized that only very few of my movies have the country tag. For you guys, too?

dsim Wrote:movies i scanned with imdb scraper, today for example, have the country tag. but movies scanned with ember media manager, not, because there i cannot see support for country tag.

but i have today, the first time extrathums generated. and it looks amazing in old multiplex or multiplex. low list is also rocking with the tag line

and yeah, i forgot, is there a possibility to scroll manually plots for music and movies?

cheers

phil65 Wrote:normally it should be ok, but I suggest to try it directly with github. please post a screenshot, too, just to make sure.

phil65 Wrote:no, not possible.
about country labels: will only include them when more scrapers support it.
