Broads Wrote:Hi just tried aeon again! And forgot just how much I liked this skin. Your version has added some cool new views. I especially like the low lists.

However before I could start using this full time I would need the following requests added.

Home: shutdown to have sub menu items. Exit / log off.
Profile login: again option to exit / shut down. Keep at it. It's a great skin.

Shutdown has submenu items. Go to the Shutdown entry and press the down arrow. You can do this on most of the home menu items.

Does Aeon65 have the System Info screen somewhere? I can't seem to find it. If it doesn't, then I'll write up a feature request on github.

Warning Repository development branch has changed!

I merged my changes from the pix65 branch back into the master branch on github.

You need to change the git branch your working copy is pointing to, from pix65 to master. Windows user may read this post as it is explained how to switch branches: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=49958, but for the inpatients, the command you need to type is here:

Using Git on the command line it just as easy as typing:

Code:
git checkout master
You will normally see:
Code:
Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'master'

If you are not confident in you git skills, you can delete you working copy and re-download it using the READMEs.

We may welcome back Phil65 who rejoined us on this repository. Happy Aeon65 to all

Hi. Has anyone noticed movie count and watched count in the main menu doesn't show any figures in recent days or is it just me.

Works for me. As usual:
  • Windows 32/64, Linux/Ununtu 32/64, OS X ?
  • XBMC Revision ?
  • Skin Revision ?

Windows 7 64
XBMC 32416
Skin: aeon65 as of 1st Aug, will update now. (EDIT: Updated and confirmed with new master branch).

I noticed a few days ago when in the main menu, I hit the down key to see "recent", and since then I notice none of the numbers show up for watched, movie count etc, see screenshot.

Hey guys,

is it possible to display the backdrop slideshow/single background in(side) the Videos section, too? Once a movie is in focus XBMC displays the respective fanart as usual but I have a black background when I navigate through the sub sections of Videos (e.g. DVDs, HD, Plugins, these are my "subfolders").

Plus, do you think it might be appropriate or helpful to extend the FAQ on Git by the information that the link between Trailers in the main menu to the Apple Trailers Lite Plugin only works after you have initially created a (even a very small) movie database? Before that I was told that "the Apple Plugin is not installed, please install it from ...." although it was installed already. It took me an hour to figure this out (using the plugin as a favourite worked right away, but I was eager to have the nice poster view) although it should have been clear right from the start, I know Smile.

Other than that the skin works nearly flawlessly. There are some other aspects but one annoying post at a time Smile

Thanks for the efforts so far. Great work!

Can someone please help me decide whether to request the following as an enhancement in xbmc or aeon65.

Its relating to the scaling of posters (and perhaps other image data) in xbmc. It seems to me as if there is either a very bad scaling algorithm used to scale poster data, or perhaps something to do with my graphics card scaling....

I try to keep my fanart and posters as high resolution as possible. Below you can see a 1000 x 1500 pixel poster for the movie "Quantum Of Solace". The information dialog of aeon65 seems to show a blurry low resolution version of this poster. Its definitely reading my local copy as when I draw a few scribbles and reload, I can see its definitely reading my local copy.

See the difference below between this 1000 x 1500 px image resized to 720 x 1080 in photoshop versus the same image resized to the same size in the information dialog in aeon65.... Huge difference. I always had a feeling the image seen in xbmc didn't quite look as good as the same image when opened in microsoft paint..

Warning: Image below is ~2mb as its a png.

So is this under control of aeon or is it xbmc. I'll write a feature request in either bug / feature tracker.

I would say it's an xbmc problem, but just to be sure you can try the same in another skin (Preferably confluence) and see if you can the same result.

Sorry, I forgot can you also send the xbmc.log ?

Yeah I did try it in confluence but confluence doesn't show a full screen version of the poster like aeon does. Saying that, the largest view I can see of the poster does look nice and sharp to me to be honest. Does aeon decide what way to resize any of these images?

EDIT: logs sent for other issue

Try to see what's in
Code:
C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.recentlyadded
and if default.py is there or script.recentlyadded is installed in another directory then this might be an xbmc bug.

UGH! thanks for that. I had renamed that default.py to default.py2 many days ago to workaround the fact that xbmc sometimes crashes on shut down. Renaming that file resolved the crash on shutdown issue temporarily while the bug on xbmc bug tracker is looked at. Renaming it back resolved the issue! Didn't think the recently added files were used for anything other than the recently added images on the main screen.

Please let me know if this is not the right forum. Revisit questions please help.

Why do sort is not working in Music Video view?

Is there a way to add Thumbnail view to Music Video as thumbs is scrape for music video? Any mod out there for Aeon65?

Is there an option to sort in Descending for Movie like in Music Video view? Sorry never mind got mixed up with Confluence Skin.

Any must/should have <AdvancedSettings> items in AdvanceSetttings.xml?
ie. <sleepbeforeflip>0.85</sleepbeforeflip>; <fakefullscreen>true</fakefullscreen>

Thanks

Posted over on the more xbmc related forums regarding the low resize quality http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=78274

Seems very strange things are happening. When poster is renamed from folder.jpg to movie.tbn the resize quality of the poster is excellent, and further renames to folder.jpg shows excellent quality. Any possibility its an aeon quirk?

1) After reloading movie data just to be sure local folder.jpg was read. It was read and showed up blurry again of course. -> http://img824.imageshack.us/i/screenshot005p.png/
2) After renaming the file to movie.tbn and reloading data again, all looks really sharp and clear again. -> http://img191.imageshack.us/i/screenshot006z.png/
3) After renaming back to folder.jpg, its showing up as really sharp again (what the ....)..... -> http://img412.imageshack.us/i/screenshot007a.png/
