Mod Aeon MQ 9 Multi-Mod for Kodi 20 (Nexus)
Hi @latts9923,
There seems to be a bug in enable forced views for view Type-16 (Kodiflix?)
If I set both Movies and sets to forced views Type-16, but then change say sets to Clearart, this changes the view in Movies to clearart and vice versa. If I set Movies to Default, this changes sets to default as well. That didn't happen in AQ8.

I added code to display the Artist banner image for Albums and Songs in View Type-09. It will be part of the next update. I agree on the NFO file...I don't see a way to add the album description to the NFO.

I am so far unable to reproduce the problem you described with forced views for Movies/Sets. It seems to be working just fine for me.

@latts9923.
Thank you.
I'm using Kodi on a nvidia shield. So maybe the problem is linked to the platform (probably not). I did have some strange behaviour a couple of hours before when kodi & the shield froze and I had to reboot it. Maybe something was corrupted when I did a reboot on the shield. I'll try doing a reinstall and see what happens.

How are you getting to "View 9"?
I can't seem to find it.
It is not in my "Music" top menu or in my "Layout" while playing music.

Thanks

@melons2 Make sure you are in one of the views, like Artist or Albums for example, and view type - 09 should be there in the top menu. It is for me. If you still don't see it make sure you have done the reset when you update to the latest skin version as that is what picks up the new view types. Note that you can do a skin backup first, then do the reset, and then a skin import (thru the menus using the Skin Helper Skin Backup addon) and you won't loose your skin settings customizations.

Hi, is the latest version1.6.0?
Another dumb question, how do I do a skin reset? I've just done a complete install of kodi from scratch, installed the mod but I'm only seeing 15 different views in movies?

@Chalklands Latts hasn't been changing the version number of this mod for various reasons that he has described in a post a few back. But if you want to make sure you are running the current release (the 8/05/23 update) open the skin addon itself and you should see that date at the top of the release notes.

Cheers @wags1, all sorted!

I've done a vanilla install of everything from scratch, both Kodi and AQ9 Multi-Mod (Aug 5th version) on a Nvidia Shield.
Two strange things happening though:
1. If I turn on 'Enable Forced Views', say for Movies, I see the options For 'Forced View For Movies' and 'Forced View For Sets' appear. But if I select either one nothing happens. I would expect to see a list of the available views appear. (I'm currently using View-16). The same behaviour is happening for TV Shows and Music for whichever view I use.
2. Alphabet scrollbar: Works fine on Movies. But for TV (View 17), although I turn the option on, I don't see a scrollbar. For Music (view 25), the same thing happens.
Maybe there is some skin helper addon or something I need to install?

Any ideas?

In the next update I will start posting the update version.
1. Forced views requires Skin Helper Service.
2. The alphabet scrollbar requires Embuary Helper, but if it works for Movies you have it installed. I can't think of a reason why it's not working for TV Shows or Music. I tried it on my Fire TV Cube, and I see the scrollbar for TV Shows using View Type-17.

First of all: Thank you for that great skin. It works really well on my Nexus system.

I have one question: is it possible to display rotating disc art in Now Playing view when online streams (via Librespot) are used?
This works really well for local MP3 files but not with Spotify online.
Artist is displayed. Clear Art and Background are scraped and displayed correctly.
But the graphics for rotating disc art does not appear.
The online scraper does not search for the album disc art.

Could be important: When there is a title playing like Depeche Mode "Wrong" disc art shows up!
Looking at fanart.tv I see a formal error there: there is an album called "Wrong".
So the online scraper is looking for an album title, which matches the song title.
The correct search should look for "Sounds of the universe".

Is this a bug or am I blind?

@tomhai It could be due to the online music addon you are using. I use Pandoki (online music from Pandora) and I do get discart when it is found/available. For the music layout you are using make sure you have Disc art set to either always or when available.

@latts9923 I have recently noticed incorrect albums being displayed as well when using Pandoki. This issue just started recently. I think with the last mod update but I can’t be 100% certain when it started. Their has been no recent change to the Pandoki addon.

I thought about that too.
Maybe the Librespot add-on does not handover the album meta data to the scraper correctly.
In this case the skin can not do anything about it.

Is there any Librespot / Spotify user who gets album disc art for every track?

I've tried installing Skin Helper Service from a zip file as I couldn't find it in any repository, but I keep getting a dependency error. Is there something I need to download before?

@Chalklands You need to have Marcelveldts beta repository installed. It has several key addons. You can grab the zip file to install that repository from github here.
