Series Recording for Aeon Nox
#1
I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not. For those of you that want the series recording to work for nox here is what I did:

1. Find the Delete Timer xml & RecordPrefs xml files. Mine were located in "C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\pvr.wmc\resources\skins\skin.confluence\720p

2. Move/copy the Delete Timer xml & RecordPrefs xml to "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.aeon.nox\1080i"

3. Edit the Delete Timer xml & RecordPrefs xml

For the Delete Timer xml:

Code:
<controls>
    <control type="image">
      <description>background image</description>
      <posx>0</posx>
      <posy>0</posy>
      <width>800</width>
      <height>300</height>
      <texture border="40">DialogBack.png</texture>
    </control>

Change the "<texture border="40">DialogBack.png</texture>" to "<texture border="40">common/black.png</texture>"

For the Record Prefs xml:

Code:
<controls>
    <control type="image">
      <description>background image</description>
      <posx>0</posx>
      <posy>0</posy>
      <width>800</width>
      <height>500</height>
      <texture border="40">DialogBack.png</texture>
    </control>

Change the "<texture border="40">DialogBack.png</texture>" to "<texture border="40">common/black.png</texture>"

Series Recording should now work. I am running frodo 12.2. Hope this helps those using Aeon Nox.

I'll give this a try later. If this works, you're my hero!

Well, it's not necessarily pretty but gives me a place to start. Thanks for the point in the right direction!

Thanks for sharing that mit3gt. Have you guys tried asking the author of Aeon Nox?

Yes. Phil and Big Noid seem to be rather inactive at the moment. At least on the Nox project. I'm actually starting to get rather worried that Nox won't be supported in Gotham. This reminded me that I wanted to post a request again now that we're official so I put one up today. I'm also taking a look the files in Aeon MQ5 and a couple other supported skins to see if I can figure out enough of what's going on to be able to get it done myself and submit. Unfortunately, I'm currently trying to bring my programming skills into this decade by learning C++, keep the wiki up to date, work and take care of the kids so time is at a premium right now. LOL

If there is a reason to learn c++ then go for it, but if you just want to learn something more modern I recommend java, c# or python. Much easier than c++ and more fun to use, IMO.

Thanks for the info. There is. But I intend to follow up with C# so I can do a little more than wiki work Wink

I thought about what you said. You're right, It's not necessarily pretty. It works, but not pretty. So I worked up some new ones. These are changed quite a bit for the originals. Just copy the xml data here. Let me know what you think.

Awesome! Sorry I haven't been able to look at this sooner but the holidays have been crazy busy and I haven't had a chance to do anything but keep a quick eye on the forum.

What version of Nox are you using? I'm on git and and when I choose to record, it just locks up the interface. There very well could be a difference if you are using the repo version so I want to make sure I am testing in the right environment. I'll test it again when I confirm we are on the same version.

Also in the main Nox thread, Noid opened the door for discussion on better PVR support in Nox 5 (much to his dismay). It may be worth it to drop in and request support for series recording in Nox 5. The more of us do, the more likely it is to see it included.

I am using the repo version of Nox. I tried the git version and did not notice any issues. One thing though, if you are using Produno's alternate epg view then that may be causing the issue. I love the mod, I just had to stop using it because it would randomly lock my system up something fierce and I can't/couldn't figure out why. Sad

I had the exact same issue. I found that if I tried to go more than 2-3 hours ahead in the guide it would lock xbmc up solid. I notified him but he couldn't duplicate the issue on the repo version. This was git. I deleted the mod but I am testing this on a clean xbmc / nox git install. I'll try it again on repo and see how I make out. Thanks!
