What happens if a user installs the Isengard Skin on the Helix version of Kodi?

It will still work as i have done it, just some things might not work or show up

[RookeyT]

Good night, can anyone please tell me if this skin can be applied to the XBMC Minix edition on a Minix X8-H Plus (i've got the aeon nox 5 installed)?

Many thanks from Portugal

It sure can. I have it on mine. I used the built in browser along with ES File Explorer to get it going. Or you can just make a backup.zip of your current set up you have on another device, load it to a usb drive, then reinstall through the same add-on you used to make the backup.zip to the minix.

I downloaded the "Download 5.7.4-2.0.7 (Isengard) Updated September 23rd" from this thread

Please post a debug log (wiki) I am at a loss as to why you could not select other fonts.

Thanks for the update! I've noticed, though, that since installing this update, when I select Orange (or Red) for the color scheme, the text changes but the highlight remains blue. Since my global background is coordinated with the Orange scheme, it looks pretty awful with blue highlights.

When did you add VideoExtras to the context menu? I love it! Now if we only had some kind of flag to note when there are VideoExtras available... and also hide the menu choice when there are none available... we'd be sitting pretty!

Windows 7 Pro, Kodi 15.1, AN Silvo as shown above...

That is strange changing the theme should switch both when selecting red or orange. If you just change the text you have to manually change the theme color. Check to make sure you have the red and orange xbt files in your media folder.

Hi Guys,

How do i stop this skin from updating please? As everytime it does i lose my set up

Thanks for any info

Change the version number in addon.xml to something very large. You will then have to update manually.

Alternatively, you could fork the skin and suffer through the learning curve of updating your own skin using this method.

Since my repo is not needed if you use the Mr V widgets versions just disable the repo in the addon manager to stop automatic updates.

Does anyone know how to fix the overlap of text

That is an issue in OpenElec to fix you have to update to a newer OpenElec version.

I experience this issue on both my Chromeboxes running Openelec (Kodi 15.1) and my Windows 10 desktop (also Kodi 15.1). I am running Aeon Nox 5: Silvo 5.7.4-2.0.7 on all of them. I also had the same issue running 5.7.1-2.0.4 if it matters. Some times when I play a trailer it works as you describe, but others you see the animation smoothly and other times it jerks and stops. I've seen it stuck half way open through the entire trailer before. Here is a crappy cell phone video I took of it happening. This is playing a trailer from my NAS, not a Youtube stream:

Can you try updating to a newer version of OpenElec to see if it fixes this?

Not sure if i am posting this in the right thread, but Mike states in the 1st post to ask questions here.
So here goes

I am getting a script error, i think its has to do with skin short cuts.

It can not seem to build my submenu

I dont seem to be the only 1 with this issue(thankfully) as someone did post their log on the script.skinshortcuts thread(post*653)
if anyone can offer advise on how to fix this issue, it would be much appreciated

Try fresh install of Kodi you have lots of banned add-ons (wiki) installed so I would start there to eliminate issues by installing just the skin and its dependencies.

Correct. Things like the OpenCase mod will not function for sets and other movie set specific things will not work. Hard to remember what else is Isengard exclusive...

I posted a question in the original Aeon Nox thread but I'll post here since I pretty much switched to this skin. Is there a way to add more custom menu options for the main menu? I'm using 4 of the 6 to make custom menus for videos and tv shows. I have one for kids movies, one for adult, then one for kid shows and one for adult shows. I want to try and make some custom menus for Netflix, Amazon prime, and Hulu and maybe a few others in Playon. I'll also have to figure out how to get them to work.

No, the only file in the media folder is textures.xbt. No red.xbt or orange.xbt elsewhere in the skin's folder either. I've tried it on another Windows 7 computer in the house, and the same thing happens. Only text changes for Red or Orange themes, not highlights. It's worked fine through several updates of your skin, I haven't manually changed anything. Should I delete the skin and reinstall?

UPDATE: I just compared the contents of the zip installation files for this version and the previous version, and sure enough, the orange.xbt and red.xbt files are missing in the latest. I just copied orange.xbt over to my current installation, and now it works. So the needed files seem to have been left out of your installation zip. Oops!

My video was from a Windows machine so no Openelec to update there.

I've written plugin which shows some music files.
when I set viewcontent to music I only get "lists" and "icons" views.
I also looked at xml files and it seems there is no special view for songs, right? for example some view to show singer name, title and ....

You have a total possible of 18 main menu options if you edit or rename the existing main menu. Do you need more than that?!

[Baretunez]

What version of openelec do I need

[devilshura]

Thank for your great mod. This bring me to use it again. I also mod some color icons. So I will share it. You can use it as theme by copy this .xbt to skin.aeon.nox.silvo media folder, or rename it to textures.xbt for use instead of the original.
Silvonewcolor.xbt


For the Infowall view, I think that should have the option to make gap between posters and logo for title. As it has in Nox 4.

I didn't want to mess with certain one because I never know if I'm gonna use them in the future.

Just reset my openelec its usually on all the time! and found out that the disc art and coloured icons appear now when you press the i button to change the artwork on the folders etc, where before the icons were at the bottom of the screen (I use Showcase view) and when you scrolled the movies the folder opened and a disk appeared from the right and is inserted itself into the folder and when it was a folder with 3-6 movies it opened and showed you all 6 disk art in the folder! is this a different version? or something to do with setup? I cant find any help with regards to this anywhere. Regards.It was previously running on Windows but I changed back to openelec. Also there is a (Silvio) upgrade to download but when I go to unzip and install it, it says its broken or dependency's are not met! PLEASE HELP because I just love this amazing skin.

Can you un-install the wrong version and reinstall the correct version without serious effect or will it remember previous settings?

[mikeSiLVO]

My video was from a Windows machine so no Openelec to update there.

Since you said that you are on 15.1 can you try latest 15.2 RC?

I've written plugin which shows some music files.
when I set viewcontent to music I only get "lists" and "icons" views.
I also looked at xml files and it seems there is no special view for songs, right? for example some view to show singer name, title and ....

Songs have available the SongList view which is for songs specifically not sure if it meets your criteria but any songs in the library have:
List
Lowist
SongList
TriPanel
Icons
Shift
and ShowCase views to choose from

What version of openelec do I need

Not sure but I know it has been fixed so I suggest trying to update to the latest version they have available for Isengard.

Thank for your great mod. This bring me to use it again. I also mod some color icons. So I will share it. You can use it as theme by copy this .xbt to skin.aeon.nox.silvo media folder, or rename it to textures.xbt for use instead of the original.

I like some of your images. If you do not mind, I will replace some with these new ones

Not sure I get what you want in your last sentence... You want me to add logo instead of title to InfoWall? What do you mean by gap?

I didn't want to mess with certain one because I never know if I'm gonna use them in the future.

That is why there is a reset button for all menu items

Just reset my openelec its usually on all the time! and found out that the disc art and coloured icons appear now when you press the i button to change the artwork on the folders etc, where before the icons were at the bottom of the screen (I use Showcase view) and when you scrolled the movies the folder opened and a disk appeared from the right and is inserted itself into the folder and when it was a folder with 3-6 movies it opened and showed you all 6 disk art in the folder! is this a different version? or something to do with setup?

I already explained that the settings you are looking for are in the view settings sidemenu option for ShowCase view.

Why does everyone always misspell it Silvio

Can you un-install the wrong version and reinstall the correct version without serious effect or will it remember previous settings?

Yes, just delete the folder and re-extract/install the new one.
