HORIZONZ: Discussion and Support Thread

I would like to see the movie wall view get refined. with posters just stuck together things look to plain. they would look great with some space in between then and maybe keep them in the dvd case all the time on the wall?

Looks very nice!

Just double checking... it is a stand alone skin? not a theme I mean....

Like very much these words in the readme file "Optimized for XBOX" your a STAR!

Having space between movies defeats the purpose of a "wall" view. You are talking about a panel view which is already available in many skins. Cheers.

Horizonz looks great! Thanks for taking the time to put together this mod!

There's one thing that's been missing from Aeon that is also missing in Horizonz, though. In Files mode in Movies, in the context menu under Set Content, there should be a Settings button to configure the scraper. It's nice to be able to set what information is grabbed from the scraper. By default, not every option is checked off. After doing a totally clean install after the last Aeon update, a bunch of information was missing for my rebuilt library and I couldn't figure out why. I eventually remembered that there was a way to configure the IMDb scraper. Going back to PM3, I re-discovered the Settings button and was able to fix it.

Also, this is really minor, but I figured I'd mention it. In vanilla Aeon, when you're in Library mode in Movies, the year is listed in parentheses after the movie title. I like this but Horizonz doesn't do it. Maybe it's intentional?

Thanks again for all of the work here! Great mod!

Sorry if its my config that's at fault...

great work - some nice mods.

yeah... i'll look into that when i have time... there'll be a release in awhile with a few things sorted out... sure thing, don't really use file view so i'll look into adding some of the other views to it to...

just a couple of questions.can we get the wide banner view back For TV Shows + Games?
any chance of the new additional music views in file mode?
game saves screen lists no items
and any chance of games and emulators fanart?
ie
FORZA (gamefolder)
+-default.xbe
+-fanart.jpg

is it not just file mode? would it work? or is it not possible untill implimented in XBMC


anyhow awsome work , thanks

will put a banner view in there... no idea which view i'll change to put it in put, it'll get in there somehow i'm sure... only when the next release comes along, so hang in there for awhile

no fanart for games for now i believe... thats an xbmc request, nothing to do with this mod

Slipx Wrote:I am having the same problem, but only for showcase and info views. Showcase view gives me a grey background even though I have setup my movies background folder correctly. The info view just gives me a black screen as background. Other than that nice work!

i know... thats just personal preference... i did make this mod for myself, but people are liking it, so may as well do a few things for the community... will release an update when i get time to mod my mod... so just hang in there for a while... file mode's never been my bag of chips... but i'll do something about it...

rudeboyx Wrote:also - Hide Watched Videos button missing in video library

will sort that out for the next release, thanks for mentioning it... so just hang in there

midgetspy Wrote:Yeah I'm having the same issues with the black and grey backgrounds when I'm in my library.

The Info view is amazing though, it's exactly what has always been missing from Aeon (and the only reason I've never used it until now). Great job on the mod, once backgrounds are working in Info/Showcase views it will be pretty much perfect IMO!

thanks dude... kinda like the fact that there's a single background instead of changing backdrops for the showcase... brings out the fanart more... but you don't use movie fanart or what or do you just want backdrops to cycle behind fanart...?
