Thank you very much. Very good idea.

I made it to the Hungarian translation: LINK

Thank you.

I can´t get the addon working with Ubuntu (10.4) + Eden + Aeon Nox. When clicking on an actor the info window does not appear.

I have a Windows 7 computer with same configuration and it works fine.

It´s a v.g. addon. It should have been include within XBMC core features. Keep up the good work!

@FrostBox

Can you add a option to hide the Movie online info in filmography context menu,
it opens external web browser and for HTPC with only remote control is not good for guest/wife/kids.

thx alot man this addon is awsome

a teaser of the skin im working on

Can you tell me if this add on is broken (using aeon nox) Getting an error on service.py on start up and obviously the script itself is not working , have checked my log and it is this script which is causing issues. I just wanted to know whether this was a problem for anybody else before posting my link to complete startup log.

Hi Guys,

This look like a great add-on.

I am Using Aeon MQ4 on Frodo nightly on a windows 7 setup, will this addon work? and what do I need to install to get it to working.

can any one help

Thanks


**** update***

Ok managed to get it sorted , great add-on

I have installed this and I can see that if I go into Programs /add-On and then select list of actors, upon selecting an actor, it shows me all the sueful information including bio and pictures etc but I cannot access that from within the Movies menu.

For example, if I am in the Movies menu and press 'i' to bring up movie information and then CAST, if I select anyone from the CAST list, is it possible that somehow I can then bring up that actor's information directly while staying inside Movies section instead of going into Programs/ Add-On.

Perhaps I am missing something so would be grateful for any advice.

Regards

Annie

If you are using Aeon Nox, which i suspect you're doing you need to press right when you've highlighted the actor. Then when the portrait of the actor is highlighted you press 'SELECT' and voila.
