Hi all,

Noob here. I have looked around the forum but can't find the answer I'm looking for, so thought i'd better join and see if anyone can help me.

I want to have some comics that i have as .cbr and .cbz files to be able to be viewed in xbmc. Im using aeon now, and know that under the settings there is a button that can be enabled for comics but i can't seem to create a source that has where my comics are located.

How do i do this?

I know how to for tv shows/movies etc but it seems to be different for comics?

Is there a work around using advanced launcher or something?

no, not possible to get it workin 100% correctly without using GIT or making small changes to the code.

Ok, thanks for the info.

When you say 100% correctly, what exactly doesn't work right?

you could do a workaround with a custom main menu item (type=custom, funtion= Activatewindow(pictures,PATHTOYOURCOMICS)
but this could lead to problems, which is a bit more difficult to explain. so best would be to switch to git version if you really want to use comics (you´ll get a huge set of new features then, too Wink )

Right ok, is there somewhere that,

1, Tells me what all the extra features are, and

2, Tells me how to do it?

If there is a thread, could you point me in its direction.

Thanks Phil

Thanks Phil

Edit...

Sorry, another question. I have the file BigNoid-Aeon-Nox-8fa3b53 but I'm unsure what i need to do with it.

Sorry if this is something really easy or obvious but unfortunately its not to me... Confused
