[CLOSED] Aeon [ALPHA]: Support thread (ask for help here, not there)

Bahndit Wrote:hombrefeo,
What visualizer are you using in that video during music playback?
-bahndit

i think it's called 'album art cube rain' ... it's my fav

I am also having trouble getting fan art to work.

When you say fan art needs to be stored locally, does that mean on the xbox hard drive ? Because I have my movies and fan art stored on an external hard drive connected to my network. I have followed the rules with the -fanart.jpg suffix, and in the same folder as said movie. But still I can't not get it to work.

Was having serious issues getting mine to function properly.

Have you tried setting your resolution to 720 instead of auto? Found mine was defaulting to 1080 and was causing all sorts of memory issues.

On a side note, when setting to 720 I also had to change my video player resolution to 720. Otherwise it was also defaulting to 1080, so when playing a video my display was momentarily blanking as my receiver switched between resolutions.

How do I stop the "Movies" list from showing the same as my "TV Show" list? I had this working before I upgraded :confused2::confused2::confused2::confused2:

Either make sure they are named correctly (ie Movies, TV Shows) or enter their targets in the AEON settings.

I've just found some more dvd playing probs (movie playing but not showing) in this reversion so maybe other bugs are present regarding the fanart.

going to try a few things today... firstly, downgrade my xbmc build, because i'm using the latest, and maybe it's an issue with this build... then, i'm gonna check for memory issues, because who knows if that's the issue in the end... changing images to bmp's... downsizing them and movie posters... the whole chabang... hopefully, by the end of today... it'll be rosy... if not... list view's gonna have to do... lets see what happens!

mine's set to 720... but i'm gonna go lower than to see if it helps... i'm gonna downgrade the lot... kill the cache and start from scratch... so, hopefully, my baby looks as good as urs... nice backdrops by the way!

To everyone having trouble getting backdrops to work on their Xbox, do the following:

1. Get the newest T3CH build of XBMC. (T3CH XBMC 2008-07-28 SVN rev14439). This works FOR SURE.

2. Get the newest release of Aeon. http://www.aeonproject.com/downloads/bui...LPHA14.zip

3. Make sure your skins are set to 720p, and that (if the filename is "12-monkeys.avi" then the fanart should be "12-monkeys-fanart.jpg") the filenames are set correctly. I don't think fanart will auto-detect if the movie is .rared.

4. Reset all Aeon settings by going to the misc tab in options.


I tried for well over a week or two to get fanart going, and after doing all of the above, I now have it running smoothly. 7-year-old technology my butt.

A few questions... what is the resolution of ur backdrops and fanart... 1280x720?... and what format are they?...

and movie posters, what setting did you use when scraping movie posters... 192?

This should be reiterated for its importance:

If you're running XBMC in 1080i on an Xbox, you're fucked. End of. Never in my experience has XBMC run even half-decently at that resolution - it can't even keep the animation speeds up in PMIII. So if you're running Aeon at it, consider that a void of your customer warranty.
