Hello people!

I was bored with the default skin of XBMC, and searching here in the forum, I found an ecellent skin, Aeon.

It´s amazing how it works, how it looks.. etc.

But it doesn´t work at all for me.

1.- DVD/Studio/Rating... etc

I already saw the forum for these wonderfull flags, but how it really works? in my case, I have a folder called DVD, inside have a lot of videos(dvd´s). i.e: a folder called Australia, inside 2 folders video_ts and audio_ts. No one have a nfo file, also, i created for each movie a nfo file(like in the FAQ says). but not works... I only see an icon whit "?"

  <outline>Set in northern Australia before World War II, an English aristocrat who inherits a sprawling ranch reluctantly pacts with a stock-man in order to protect her new property from a takeover plot. As the pair drive 2,000 head of cattle over unforgiving landscape, they experience the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by Japanese forces firsthand. </outline>
  <plot>In northern Australia at the beginning of World War II, an English aristocrat inherits a cattle station the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn stock-man to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="plotpar"&gt;In 1939, the aristocratic Lady Sarah Ashley travels from Great Britain to Australia to meet her husband Maitland Ashley in northern Australia. The husband's drover comes to the city of Darwin to bring Sarah to their farm; however, when they reach Faraway Downs Farm, they find that Maitland was murdered. Sarah befriends Nullah, who tells her that the administrator Neil Fletcher is stealing her cattle; has killed her husband; and is working for the cattle baron King Carney. Sarah fires Fletcher and his men and together with Drover, Nullah and a group of loyal employees, they ride together to take the cattle to supply the army and win a tender in times of war. But the ambitious Fletcher has other intentions and uses Nullah to press Sarah.</plot>
