Hi all, I am new and have been learning about Kodi for the past 6 months and I have managed to customize my Aeon Nox 5 build and also install the Silvo Mod Skin just last week. I now almost have a perfect set up for me. Ok my question is I would like to update to the very latest Silvo Mod Skin from Git with the recent tweaks, can I just download the zip file from Git and then install to my skins folder which replaces the previous version?? Also will it change my layout and sub menus etc that I have created? This is my first time updating a skin, like I said I have added new skin before but never updated a current one like this.

Thank you to anyone that can help with probably a silly question to most of you experts

Hello guys,

awesome job done on this skin. I almost have it customized to my needs and is absolutely brilliant! Specially in terms of smoothness and responsiveness compared to other skins. I still have a problem though. Maybe this has been asked already but I cannot find anything using the search entry. Is the part related to "Live TV" complete? Is intentional that the tv guide doesn´t highlight the duration of the tv shows? I´ve seen other skins where this is done by wrapping the title of each program in a white rectangle. In here you can guess when a show ends by checking the time the next starts but it´s more difficult to read. The EPG button has a similar problem as well. You can see a list on the left but there is no time or anything similar next to the title and it seems a bit unfinished.
It could be that that´s the intention, I haven´t found anything related to it so maybe is just me.

Anyway, keep the hard work up!

Not really working on the Live TV stuff ATM. I can look into adding and changing some things at some point down the road. If there are any bugs like a button not working I will fix those.
Hard to work on it when I never use it personally.
If you can be a little more specific of what you want and where, I can look into adding when/if I have time.

Thanks for the fast reply! I'm working at the moment so I cannot take a screenshot. As soon as I have a moment I'll take a screenshot of the current situation and another one of another skin that has the effect I mentioned.
Thanks!

This is what I meant by the EPG not highlighting things. These screenshots are using confluence




And these using the skin. The most noticeable one is where the EPG for the current channel is shown. In confluence you can see them center in the middle of the screen with the time each program is going to played. In the skin they appear on the side without any time at all. In the global EPG what cannot be seen are the squares delimiting each tv show.
Is this something simple to fix?

Apart from that, I have a couple of simple questions. I guess they are related to how Kodi is coded more than the skin but it´s just curiosity.
What's the reason for some add ons to have more views than others? I have some add ons installed where you can only choose between "List" or "Icons".
Is there any script that allows you to show the context menu from within a widget? It'd be great to be able to select an option from there, specially for those ones where you can select a stream.

Thanks!

Hi Mike
Maybe I am the only one with a screen masking... Just made a video to show what is hidden when the masking is set to the movies format...

Maybe it would be easy to have an option to move everything into the visible part...

No, masking: Stewart

The problem is, that the information in the black bars will be hidden due to the masking. So using the black bars to show logos and infos is maybe not a good place. Again - maybe not many users use horizontal masking...

It's not that the information is displayed in the black bars but that the ratio for Aeon Nox is 16:9, I know someone else has developed Aeon Nox for 21:9 so this may be the avenue you need to explore. It's a nightmare these days with some content being delivered in 16:9 and others 21:9.

GTunney is correct and because this tech, while extremely cool, is not used by a majority of users. I find a solution to be hard to come up with or add at this time
I can of course help you mod something but it will have to be updated and added to manually if I ever make changes.

Mike,

I thought I would post here in the event I might save you some time. I noticed you hadn't incorporated the newest changes from the main branch and thought I would share my experience after getting stuck on one element.

You will notice the Plot is now a part of the same GroupList that contains the Cast, Similar Movies, Director Movies and Writer Movies. The problem is the disc art is also part of the plot, which is now part of a larger GroupList.

Previously, the disc art would come in from the side and spin into place. Now, because it is part of a GroupList, starting the animation from the side causes the disc to be cut-off. Perhaps, you can find a solution, but it took me quite awhile to find out why the disc art wouldn't appear with the correct visibility condition.

What I discovered is the disc art animation now needs to be constrained within the new GroupList. Setting the <left> or <posx> to a value less than 0 or greater than 1920 will lead to the disc not appearing at all.

The animation I settled on is similar to MadNox. At a <left> of 0, the disc art starts at the left of the textbox and stops at the right, staying within its borders.

With the disc in place, it looks like below:


My code for the disc art is as follows:

Code:

        <!-- Add Plot with Disc Art -->                            
                        <control type="textbox" id="4">
                            <description>Plot</description>
                            <left>36</left>
                            <top>10</top>
                            <width>788</width>
                            <height>400</height>
                            <font>font15_textbox</font>
                            <align>left</align>
                            <label>$INFO[ListItem.Plot]</label>
                            <textcolor>white</textcolor>
                            <pagecontrol>-</pagecontrol>
                            <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(discart))</visible>                            
                            <autoscroll time="3000" delay="6000" repeat="6000">Skin.HasSetting(Enable.AutoScroll)</autoscroll>
                            <animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="500" tween="sine" easing="inout">VisibleChange</animation>
                            <animation effect="fade" start="100" end="78" time="300" tween="sine" easing="inout" condition="!Control.HasFocus(900171)">Conditional</animation>
                        </control>    
                        <control type="image">
                            <left>0</left>
                            <top>69</top>
                            <width>320</width>
                            <height>320</height>
                            <aspect>keep</aspect>
                            <texture background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Art(discart)]</texture>
                            <animation type="WindowOpen" reversible="false">
                            <effect type="slide" start="0,0" end="845,0" delay="1000" time="1160" tween="quadratic" easing="out" />
                            <effect type="rotate" start="0" center="auto" end="-720" delay="1000" time="1160" tween="quadratic" easing="out" />
                            </animation>
                            <animation type="WindowClose" reversible="false">
                            <effect type="slide" start="845,0" end="1265,0" time="320" tween="quadratic" easing="out" />
                            </animation>                            
                            <visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(discart))</visible>
                        </control>

Just a heads-up so you are aware.

If you update using GitHub please read the readme under the GitHub link in the 1st post and the FAQ in the 3rd post of this thread. Updating the skin will never alter setting unless I code them differently then no matter what you will have to re-set them up or you delete anything in your userdata (wiki)/addon_data folder.
So read those and update whenever you want, if you have any issues post again and I will do my best to help

OK, first issue. The square outline is replaced by a highlight bar that is visible in your screenshot. In confluence you are highlighting MI6 music but in my skin you are highlighting Espirits Criminels as denoted by the blue highlight bar

Second issue. I can add the time to the sidebar but is that the start time or endtime?

Just a heads-up so you are aware.

Thanks Warner, I appreciate the heads up but I know when BigNoid updates his skin and I sometimes wait to incorporate the changes since I, and am sure you also, have realized some of them can take a little time reworking and modifying code to get it back to how we want again
I am not really working on the Jarvis version right now (just making the Isengard version function on it) since I have some issues with the DX 11 upgrade and do not currently have the time to use it and report bugs while updating/maintaining and supporting the skin...
I just realized this has now started to sound like complaining but it is not
I think...
I will hopefully get to merging BigNoids additions/changes when I update my Jarvis test environment. Thanks again for the heads up

[mikeSiLVO]

id like to change them too silver mike,if thats possible.

Silver and grey are very similar looking... if you know the color code I can be more specific but you can change the default grey color by replacing the grey part in the section located around line 100

Code:

<value condition="StringCompare(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(InfoLine),2)">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(TVShows.Count),[COLOR grey]$LOCALIZE[20343]:[/COLOR] ]$INFO[Window(Home).Property(Episodes.Count),[COLOR grey]  |  $LOCALIZE[20360]:[/COLOR] ]$INFO[Window(Home).Property(Episodes.UnWatched),[COLOR grey]  |  $LOCALIZE[16101]:[/COLOR] ]</value>

... not sure which part you are trying to change.
If you just want to change the blue, orange, or red part depending on your color chosen in the appearance settings then change around line 41 in Home.xml

Code:

<textcolor>themecolor</textcolor>

to whatever color code you want.
