Hi Mike,

I installed the git version but i can't set the path for the weather fanart anymore.

Is this setting moved somewhere else?

If you are on Jarvis and using the master branch you must download a weather fanart pack from the default Kodi repo and select it in the weather section side menu. If you are not on Jarvis *Do Not Use the Master Branch from Git* If not using Jarvis then I may have added a Jarvis addition accidentally to the Isengard version of the skin, let me know

First i installed jarvis what was wrong so i deleted the folder rebooted system and then i installed isengard and still no path to set the weather fanart.

Hope you can fix this.

Thanks!

I just checked Isengard and the option to set it is still in the sidemenu of the Weather section.

When you say installed Isengard do you mean the skin or Kodi itself?

Difficult. Normally I would not support more than 2 versions actively (isengard and jarvis atm), but this might be a special case. Would be best if we can confirm first that only that commit fixes the cases for already disappeared submenu's on Helix. I'm going to see if I can reproduce this.

I just installed Helix in portable mode and installed Aeon Nox 5 from the Kodi repo and no submenu at startup but once I deleted the .shortcuts and added the DATA.xml the submenus then appeared on startup.

I am reverting the update on skin shortcuts for Helix repo now, so it should fix itself in a few hours.

Mike,

I am trying my first pull request and don't really know what I'm doing. I believe the first one sent is trying to merge my own fork into yours. You should probably reject this. I'll keep trying until I figure it out.

Sounds like exactly what I did when I sent my first one to BigNoid... I accidentally sent him all my skin changes and it looks like you just did the same to his repo as well

I believe you have to fork the repo to make a PR for it. In the link above for my first PR to BigNoid in the conversation he was kind enough to tell me the correct way to do it using commandline. I am a lazy typer so I switched to SmartGit and use that to clone my forked repo then I make a new branch and name it whatever. Next I do a hard reset to the branch I want to make a PR for and cherrypick the commits with my changes for that PR. After that I push the branch to my forked repo and finally select the correct branches in the drop down menus on the Git website and select create pull request. That is how I currently do it. If you run into issues just let me know and we can figure it out might want to close the PR you sent to BigNoid.

I gave up on the pull request. I know I have to fork the repo, but I already have my own fork. GitHub won't let me fork your fork, so I'll give you a link to the files instead.

This also includes a bug fix for BigList. A bracket was placed outside the InfoLabel and appeared empty with some content.

Something I've noticed for a while now - When starting a trailer from the video info window there is an animation that slides the video info contents off to the sides reveling the actual playing video. The problem I've noticed many times is that if the trailer is a local video, the video seems to start playing before the animation is complete. I've seen this result is either the animation being very choppy or, in the worst case scenario, the animation completely stops having slid only half way off the screen and just hangs there blocking a good portion of the video playing behind it.

The few times I've I played a trailer that was a youtube link, the animation always slides out of the way smoothly and completely. I suspect that it may be because it takes a second or two for the video to actually start streaming (as opposed to a local file) which gives enough time for the animation to complete. But that's just a theory.

After many hours .... many many considering my noob status at this !!! I have finally just about got to my complete set up using this awesome skin.....
..or so i thought until my wife said "with TV programs how do I set up a series record"


I am running Kodi helix with Aeon Nox Silvo skin and use WMC PVR client. From the guide it allows me to record a show but not a series.

The wiki site for the PVR client ( http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:PVR.WMC ) discussed how some skins will allow this. Im not sure if im missing something here, or even if this is the correct place to put this post in that it appears to be a skin issue but it may be the PVR cllient.

If possible is it viable to add this for the skin running similar to the confluence skin as per the wiki page or alternatively has any one any suggestions / can guide me to a PVR that allows this function within Aeon Nox Silvo

I appreaciate everyones time with this, cheers

Added thanks

Was reading some stuff and just in case you want to mess about with it sometime in the future it might be possible by adding my repo as an upstream source and hard resetting, cherrypicking, then all the previous mentioned things... doing that might work but I have not tested it.

ATM, I have no plans to skin the dialogs but if you go to your Kodi install folder (not your userddata folder) and navigate to:
Kodi\addons\pvr.wmc\resources\skins\skin.confluence\720p and copy those xml files to the skins 1080i folder then it "should" work but just not match the look of the skin since the xmls are designed for confluence.

@mike what du you think about Fake Disc in MyFlix view ??

for now when no discart is available the cover opens and the discart from the last movie rolls in which one have a discart !! (false discart for that movie)
Looks not so good ! (for me)
A lot of my movies have discart
Unfortunately, just a few non ;(

I cannot replicate this on latest Isengard both Kodi and skin, are you using Jarvis? No discart is supposed to show a blank bluray disc and both the empty and previous or next movies work fine for me.

Jarvis could have some quirks since it is alpha and if using Windows the DX 11 update can sometimes add to it. Best to check to see if it works in Isengard to narrow down where the problem is.

I cannot replicate this either. When I play a local trailer the info screen has no closing animation and the trailer just plays on top immediately. What version of Kodi, skin version, platform...??

Hi BigNoid,

I don't have the option to rollback skin.shortcuts so can I just override my files with those from a backup?

I can only find the Master branch on github for skin shortcuts, can't see a branch for Helix?

As a workaround until the repo versions sort them out (if I understand correctly what BigNoid has done!) you can try the branch on my fork here - https://github.com/Ignoble61/script.skin...ix-nox-fix - which includes the default submenu's from Nox 5 within the script.
