Looks really clean and leightwieight ... any eta !? Smile

This looks amazing! Can you tell us how you get the lego instructions to show up like that? Is there an add-on?

RE: [WIP] Aeon (2017) - djh_ - 2017-06-06

Thanks, everyone.

No ETA yet. I could give you an optimistic one but it'd be just that. Let's say, pulling a figure from my ass, September-ish.

There isn't a whole lot to do in terms of basic features and layouts, but then that's only half the work. It's catching all the fringe scenarios - little things Kodi does that this skin doesn't, meaning conflicts - that'll take time. For instance, I'm totally working against how Kodi wants context menus to work, giving them context-sensitive layouts, animations, etc. That's going to throw up all kinds of issues. Also, Kodi is such a labyrinthine piece of software now, yet Aeon needs to be robust enough that if you sat on your keyboard or gave your controller to a child, they wouldn't spring up some unskinned weirdness or navigational cul-de-sac. The good news is that my post-release plans aren't to add a ruinous load of features a la Aeon 2008. I have a pretty crystal clear vision of how much the new one needs to do and how, so future development will refine rather than expand upon it. Anything else will be for modders to add, which I'd hope they'll do in a manner sympathetic to the design. As long as no one tries to fork off a whole new skin, I don't really care what they do.

The LEGO instructions are just a fudge based on the image gallery. Some of the labels use rather cumbersome tricks which I'm hoping to replace with better use of EXIF data. I have the advantage of several kids now, which means I get plenty of use cases and testing while working on it. They really do need those instructions!

That whole gallery section is kind of held together with sticky tape at the moment. If you gave it to a regular Kodi user it would just break. Making it so it never breaks is the hard part.

It's looking really good! Blush

But does the statement above mean that PVR is not going to be in it?

Three new videos on the website, at the bottom. Autoplay's borked for some reason.

Hi DJH

Really like the OSD on video 3. That's something different Nod

Very smooth animation on the home menu to display widgets and when you select a menu item.

Really whets the appetite for your eventual release.

This is gorgeous! djh_ where do you get all this incredible images you have in your library? I'm an image collector, and I have to say yours are great.

RE: [WIP] Aeon (2017) - Talguy - 2017-06-16

Wow I just finally watched the videos and am blown away. That video OSD is fricken awesome. Never seen that before

Hi. I wonder if you would share the name of the font you are using. It looks great.

RE: [WIP] Aeon (2017) - MoldySpore - 2017-06-22

This looks so different and seamlessly put together. Can't wait to give it a try. Love the focus on support for higher resolutions and future proofing. That is something that complex skins for Kodi lack, good to see that.

Take your time and don't listen to the impatient users. Thanks for your hard work!

Hi
Impatient to install this new skin.

Can I donate somewhere for the work?

Bien à vous Ludovic
