v1.3 Main changes:
-Shelf 3D for music (albums & artists) - Rotating cases and cdarts

To install the mod follow the instructions below (link updated)... Enjoy
v1.2 Main changes:
- Improved view for movies and tvshows Shelf 3D - Now with new rotating cases, back cases and improved autodisc feature (when no original disc is available)

Hi everyone!
Since Aeon Nox 5: SiLVO has become my daily driver (thanks to mikesilvo and all his efforts) I started to mod it a bit according to my liking, above all the music and video section… I’m not a modder (I don't have neither time nor the skills) so my only aim is to let people take advantage of my work in case anyone happened to like it. Since it departs a lot from the original one in the music section and so as to not interfere with SiLVO mod I have renamed my mod to Aeon Nox 5: Music; that way both can exist at the same time in Kodi without problems.
The main changes with SiLVO mod (version 5.7.4-2.0.6) in which this mod is based are:
MOVIES (Modifications only in Showcase view and Shelf 3D):
-New view Shelf 3D for movies and tvshows
-New feature (autodisc) to generate discs for movies that don’t have original discart. It generates a disc from the fanart+movie logo+text with the movie name+layer simulating an actual disc (with some logos and an outer ring in different colors). It works even for movie sets when the discs are shown in the case (Showcase).
- Rotating extrafanart/extrathumbs in back panel.
MUSIC:
-New Music Visualisation (rotating extrafanart+new layout+widgets+lyrics+several color handwriting cds…). My aim was to provide another way of showing information about the song playing (similar artists, discography, biography, next songs to play...) by using widgets that appear and dissapear on screen. The data is fetched from the addon Artist Slideshow; the widgets depend on that data, so the amount of widgets showing varies from artist to artist...
-Modifications in View List (Music)
-Modifications in InfoWall (Music) – Rotating extrafanart for artists
-Handwriting cds in Home window when playing music
Maybe I forget something, but I think these are the bigger ones… anyway, here are some screenshots...
To get it:
1.- Download the skin from (updated 24 dic 2015):
http://www.mediafire.com/download/soyy7j....music.rar
2.- Extract to a folder called skin.aeon.nox.music
3.- Put that folder in your addons folder (for instance, mine (Win 7) is located in: C:\Users\Usuario\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons)
4.- Make sure you have all the addons mentioned in mikesilvo's thread (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=210069)
5.- Install from the official repo the addon Artist Slideshow and configure it.
6.- Set the path to your music library and your structure in the skin options.
In case you have problems making it to work, have a look at the thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=212324
To use the awesome new widgets from Mr.V follow the instructions located in \skin.aeon.nox.music\skinextras\widgets\readme.txt
As I said before, I have only worked in the options that I myself use and that's my aim in the foreseeable future. Also I won't update the mod until there is a significant new feature; I'm only sharing my mod as it is right now, but please feel free to mod it, merge it with your current one, whatever you like...
Many thanks to mikesilvo for his great mod (and to everyone he mentions in the credits of his thread), and to Mr. V for his widgets. And of course to BigNoid for creating Nox 5.
Enjoy...
