MOD Request? - Two simple things
#1
Hi there,

I have set my Aeon skin the best I can and I'm pretty happy with it. However there are 2 two things I'd like some of you modders extraordinaire to help me achieve.

In my TV shows I have two problems:
First, the "poster" doesn't appear

Then, when you go into the view of the several seasons, I had before proper posters, and not like these that appear to be cropped...

Finally, in the movies section, do you think it is possible to change this:

into this:

Sorry if this is not the proper place to request something like this...
I'm still looking around to understandd how this all works.
Cheers and thank you.

Which Aeon version is that?

First picture is lowlist. This has always had issues as it used alternative naming conventions that went against the grain. I can't remember what the naming convention it looks for....poster.jpg, folder.jpg, poster.tbnHuh??

Try turning on tv posters in the settings menu and you will not get cropped images. Might fix lowlist also.

Very possible to make that font bigger. Open up Viewtype_multiwall.xml and change the font that is used to the font that is used for the homemenu (seems to be what you mocked up).

Hi.
The skin is a probably an early version of Aeon Hitched. Before they all got together in GIT or whatever...

I have tv posters enabled and it still gives me that result. The starnge thing is, I had to move my collection from one external hd to a different one, and XBMC was never the same. Because I had things the way I wanted before. This is what's puzzling me.
And the names have not been touched...

About the second thing, thanks. I'll check it out and see if I can do it.

Cheers,

If you moved files, I would do a library clean in settings.

I did that too. But when I populated again... I couldn't have the skin set up like I had before...

Is there any place where I can find "which part of the XML I need to change if I need to change one thing or another?"

If you have never done skinning before, Aeon is the last place to start.

I would move to a more recent version of Aeon. Use mine, Phil's, or try Legacy Dark.

All your problems will probably be solved by getting away from Hitched. It was a great skin, but is now out dated.

As ekim232 said the first two are solved by turning on TV posters, if your using a really old version when lowlist was first added there was an option in the side menu in lowlist to switch to posters as well

Why don't you just download hitchers last version if that's the one you want to use but you will still need to turn on TV posters

Here's the link for direct download

Thanks for that. I have downloaded, but newest versions keep crashing for some reason... Sad
Very unstable, so I tend to stick with the old ones, as they pretty much do the job Wink
