[NewMedia]

@NewMedia, go to settings, skin settings, widgets, and disable. Here work perfect, btw, no freeze, change fine, using windows 8.1 with gotham.

This works but I prefer to see it. Especially for when watching with guests as it it's nice to have a preview of the recent stuff.

Command in Ace to access Recently Added Movies:

ActivateWindow(videos,recentlyaddedmovies,return)

Command in Aeon MQ 5 to access Recently Movies:

ActivateWindow(videos,recentlyaddedmovies,return)

So, I no have way to discover why that happens in your case, sorry.

Try this:

Go to addons folder and delete folder skin.aeonmq5

Go to package folder and delete any references to skin.aeonmq5 too.

Download the skin again and reinstall.

I know, this is why I did ALL those tests to isolate the source of the issue before mentioning it here, I presumed already that the command was the same as Ace...
I'll try again (delete EVERYTHING related the MQ5) and redownload a new copy in case...

***BTW, I don't think the command is the issue, it's more how the skin generates the screen IMO...

Anyway, I'll let you know... I just don't want to use ACE now that I tasted to MQ5, lol...

OK, on one of my HTPC, I did a complete rebuild (this one is Openelec) and it still did it (again, Ace; no issue). So there is really "something" different in MQ5 that may need a fix (and two of my 5 HTPCs are fine so I know some users have no issue; doesn't mean there is no problem).

I started isolating features that would be involved that doesn't exist in Ace. I may have found one; custom watched indicators...
I may be wrong but I ALWAYS use the eye one with black background... I tried disabling the watched indicators from the views...
Since then, so far, never crashed on black screen...
I will have to test more to confirm but so far, it may be related...

I tried that (though not completely sure if I picked the right option when you say disable) but it had no effect for me. Although at one time, it appeared the skin was doing something then just froze. Not sure what I did for that to happen.

It's not a major issue as such, because the various movie options view below - i.e. recently added, studios, genre work. It's just if someone is using the remote and presses it and freezes, it doesn't make a pleasant experience.
