I thought about that but then you need to choose a profile when using... PITA. I'd rather just lock the settings since there is no reason to be in those 99.9% of the time anyway. I never understood why people wanted access to them from places other then the config menus.
MikeBeecham Wrote:goodness me....I enjoy Aeon with the rest of the community, but can we NOT have so many Aeon threads in the forums please. As a suggestion Dunc, why not change your website to incorporare a shout function or whatever...that way you could respond to any support issues there?
Are the other threads complaining? Are the electrons jealous?
.. yes, I'm kidding. Mike this is OT and should be in PM or a new thread in the main forum.
... We really need subforums for more popular skins (AEON, Vision, Vinci, etc) but there was pushback on this. It is reasonable, and common on the net, to have a few threads for a popular item (skin or whatever) since one massive thread is too much to manage. Having posts, no matter what type, on another site defeats the purpose of having xbmc.org... the point is one-stop-shop community, thus having a tighter knit community, more sharing, more progress.
... and now back to our regularly scheduled AEON Support Thread

DJH, I have to ask you a question...
Ever since your first 720p versions of the backdrops Ive saved them all to my computer. Later they came in 1080p BPM, and then JPG.
I've sorted them out last week, and found out that there's still some backdrops in 720p you havnt releast in 1080p. Is that possible.
I've got a little bit crazy and I want them all, caus some of the 720p's was really nice. Also some of the versions you got in 1080p BMP i still cant find at your site.
Here are some thumbs of the picture Ive cant find anymore..

I realize I might sound a little dumb, but I couldn't find the answer since I didn't see anyone else asking this.
I downloaded the latest Aeon skin and clean installed it onto Plex, the osxbmc. I retrieved all the information for my TV Shows and yet two weird things happen in show case mode. the first is that when I go on episode level, the thumbnails are in poster shape so the image is squeezed. The second is that for some reason I don't get the plot comming onto the screen when holding for a moment...or never.
also a suggestion about cast.. Why cant we retrieve cast pictures from TVDB and cross them with other movies or TV shows they appeared in? I know there is this option on movies but not on this skin.. anyway, I didn't see it. just an idea though, since the pictures are already there...

About the plot, play a little witheht hide plot option, I think you have to enable and disable it again.
(I think it was the hide plot option under "video", not sure though)

More AEON fanart tips for Xbox users - Hitcher - 2008-07-20
After a lot trail and error I've found the best way to avoid running out of memory (on my Xbox at least) when using fanart on AEON.
I don't know if there's a specific minimum amount of free memory needed for XBMC to function properly but will running my tests it appeared that dropping below 5000KB caused backdrops/fanart not to load and videos to not play.
The biggest memory hit I found was in TV Shows. While displaying the backdrop and posters AEON slides the selected poster to the side and loads the fanart - memory would drop well below 5000KB. I assume this is because it's still storing the backdrop and posters, so when the time comes to change the random backdrop for another (even though it's not being displayed) XBMC doesn't have enough to perform this function and you end up with a blank backdrop.
So with the following conditions I managed to keep the free memory at about 10000KB and there were no instances of videos not playing or artwork not loading.
All backdrops are resized to 960x540
Thumbnails are at default (196)
All fanart is resized (if needed) to 1280x720
My Xbox is running in 720p mode on a 42"plasma. Backdrops still look great at 960x560. It tried fanart at this size but it doesn't look too good (jaggies).

I made a ntoe of it in another thread, but on the xbox sd resolutions are quite useable with this skin. Resizing backdrops to 720x480 keeps things moving quite fast. The text might be a bit unintelligble unless you have a large set (I'm at 46"). Not that I would suggest hd users drop to sd, that would be silly.
Wa.tched Items and Page Down - SimonNWalker - 2008-07-20
This is an awesome skin and has amazing potential.
A couple of questions though:
1. I've looked everywhere to change the view to show watched or unwatched videos and I cant find the option anywhere. I can see how to set a video as watched using the title menu.
2. When your scroling through a list of videos is there any way to page up and down

Check the first post in the thread. It's a known issue.

Assign it to your remote using keymap.xml.
Fanart - Lowie007 - 2008-07-21
Hitcher Wrote:A few tips for Xbox users having memory issues
Resize all backdrops to 1280x720 or lower to 960x540.
Same applies to fanart if you're storing locally.
Keep the thumbnail size low (196 or 386).
Is there a way to set the fanart size in thetvdb scraper? On the site a lot of the images seem to be 1920x1080.

I actually have the same problem as another user. I hate to be the n00b that asks the dumb question, but how do I (or is it even possible to) show tv banners in the TV section without them being squeezed into the boxes that are used for movies? Am I just missing something obvious?

We don't cross-reference them between different series yet on TheTVDB, so it'll not work perfectly on the XBMC side. In addition, once we do get that working this is an XBMC request, not an Aeon request. I suggest you post it in the feature request section on the forums.

I'm liking the gui tweaks/redesigns, especially the menu and the way you changed the list view. Well done, I really anticipate every release. Oh and also, have you considered maybe a blog instead of the forums for posting revisions?

There was a banner option in the previous release for wide icons and I assume it's still there now.
