Hello Tgx,

I think there is a problem on the music visualisation. I have only a single background
Image

And I don't have CDArt Visualisation on music play (It works on Aeon MQ5 skin)

Hello, I try your skin (v2.0) and I have the same problem as "johnny_swindle" with v1.0 when I add a timer from EPG:

Congratulations for your work!

Another question about music visualization. Is it possible to have:

- a CD wall (like AEON Nox)

or/and

- this visualization: http://passion-xbmc.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=25765.0;attach=10653 (like Transparency!)

?


Thanks

I think i fixed it. It was related to Windows Media Center as Tv Server. I cannot test it, but it should work.
Can you test it please?

I use NextPVR as backend.

RE: Black Glass Nova 2.0 - Gotham - Me-- - 2014-07-18

Can you please try to go to your userdata folder ( http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Userdata ), then in the "addons/skin.blackglassnova/1080i" folder and rename the files "RecordPrefs.xml" and "DeleteTimer.xml" into something else, restart and see if it works?

Thanks

Tgx

RE: Black Glass Nova 2.0 - Gotham - Me-- - 2014-07-18

When I rename both files otherwise the window to add a timer no longer appears ...

I have only this pop-up and when I select "Yes",

it return to the EPG.

RE: Black Glass Nova 2.0 - Gotham - Tgxcorporation - 2014-07-18

Ok, this is the way it works with Mediaportal TvServer which i'm using. You should have now a new programmed recording in the timer section.
Can you check it please? There you can edit your programmed recording.

Thanks
