Thanks for the confirmation. I will take a hack at it tomorrow and share my forked Git if I get it going.

Here is my hacked Isengard fork with Mr.V added:
https://github.com/xnappo/Aeon-Nox-SiLVO/tree/isengard

No promises that it will work for you - it is a real hack job! It works for the bits I use.

Of course thanks to Mike and Mr. V for the great skin!

Read the the first and second post on the first page. Some of the views they have their settings right below them and you can set up what you want to see in that particular view.

Add the folder you keep your background images in as a source in the file manager (wiki).

Hey Guys,

I noticed two "problems" regarding my fanarts in combination with this Skin (never occured in SPMC 15.0 Aeon Nox bevore).

I don't know if this problems are soley related to this skin or if I did anything else wrong, so i'd like to ask here for some help: First of all, I need to tell, that i substituted my Thumbnail folder on my Fire TV from Disk to SD-Card. I used this code:

Code:

<pathsubstitution>
   <substitute>
    <from>special://profile/Thumbnails/</from>
    <to>/storage/sdcard1/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/Thumbnails/</to>
   </substitute>
  </pathsubstitution>

This substitution works fine for all media as far as it's beeing scrapped. So far so good.

So here are my problems:

1.) after watching a trailer via youtube add-on and in several other random situations, my background fanarts (in movies as well as in tv shows) are gone and changed to black (default). Only shutting down kodi and starting new solves this. Any idea?

2.) If i run the Artwork Downloader Add-on, in the end 0 files will be downloaded. He's searching for new files, he's "downloading" ... but in the report it says "0 Files downloaded". Is there anything i can do? Maybe a workaround to save the extra-fanart in the movie/tv show folder in the source directory?

Maybe everything would work fine if I'd remove my substitution ... but the Disk Space on my FireTV badly needs to substitute my thumbnail folder. So this thing i can't work around.

Any help is welcomed.

@ovarus Maybe this would be possible on the FireTV if it has an SDcard

Though it may be possible (it is obviously), what should be the sense in moving all Kodi-Data from internal storage to SD card? The biggest Folder storage wise is the thumbnail folder. And beside the Add-ons Folder it's the only one which would grow over time. This one is already located on SD-Card (see path substitution above) and it works well so far.
Moving Kodi to SD-card completely would result in moderate to massive lag while using kodi. That's not wanted.

But I can't see which of my both problems regarding fanarts would be solved this way. Could you please explain?

[flhthemi]

I just thought you wanted to save internal storage and sending it all to extsdcard would do that. Once moved and on extsdcard you would be eliminating the need for pathsubstitution. The wiki states that using this method (pathsubstitution) will slow the loading of thumbnails.

FROM THE WIKI:

Code:

Note: This will slowdown thumbnail loading, but might be worth it for low-memory devices.

Thumbnails
Sharing the Thumbnails folder with Path Substitution is prone to problems, primarily because the Texture Cache consists of two interlinked data stores - the Thumbnails folder and the SQLite database Textures13.db. Sharing the SQLite Textures13.db between multiple clients is not supported under any circumstances due to the liklehood of database corruption.
Since sharing of the database is not realistically possible, attempts at sharing only the Thumbnails folder will either fail completely, or result in some artwork items never being displayed, or you may experience artwork being displayed but with higher or lower than expected image quality or even image corruption (a result of different clients overwriting previously cached artwork, as not all clients cache artwork at the same resolutions, or even use the same image formats).

If you must use Path Substitution to relocate (rather than share) your Thumbnails folder, by all means do so but only for individual clients and their associated Thumbnails folder. Do not share a single Thumbnails folder between multiple clients, as the Texture Cache is simply not designed to support this and you will experience problems.

Just a suggestion is all. I use it on an old Ugoos android box I have and see no real lag other than at start of Kodi.

hey there,

about live tv timeshift progress bar...
i think there´s nothing in development already?
here´s a good new idea: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/9045

[Solo0815]

little OT:
How can I open the main menu and highlight e.g. "TV" or "System" in python?
should be

Code:

ActivateWindow(10000)

Home.xml, but how can I highlight "TV"?
Thx

[sveni_lee]

Possible? Yes. Easy? Well...

The individual items in the widget don't have an <onfocus /> tag. The container that they're in does, but that only gets called when the whole widget gets focused, not when the focus changes between the items in the widget.

The only workaround I know of (which isn't to say there aren't others known by those more skilled than I, or necessarily that this workaround will in fact work for you) is to put a button control into the <focusedlayout /> of the panel container, and use its <onfocus /> to run the script.

That means heading back to the Includes_Widgets.xml file, and adding a button control to every <focusedlayout /> in there (there's a few as they have to cover all the different widget layouts/artwork styles - and it's probably a good place to use an include so you're only editing the button control in one place) with the conditional <onfocus />. Then cross your fingers that it works!

I wish you luck

@BobCratchett

okay I've decided to make it in the easier way by using <oninfo> to run the script...
so I dublicate the custom_1199_WidgetInfo.xml to a new custom_1198_WidgetInfoTVHighLights.xml
i aktivate the ne Window as follow:

Code:

<oninfo condition ="!StringCompare(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(widgetType),tvhighlights)">ActivateWindow(1199)</oninfo>
<oninfo condition ="StringCompare(Container(9000).ListItem.Property(widgetType),tvhighlights)">ActivateWindow(1198)</oninfo>

that works fine... but now I tried set a property for the new window as follow

Code:

<oninfo>SetProperty(Widget.Extrainfos,$INFO[Container(8001).ListItem.Property(TVHighlightsToday.Extrainfos)],home)</oninfo>

but this didn't work... so I must do something wrong...

do you have a idea?

As a snippet that looks fine, assuming you've checked all the obvious (missing silly typo's in property names are one my weakness!). You know you're setting it to the home window, though? So you'll access it via Window(home).Property(Widget.Extrainfos).

I have all the scripts on the left except for "script.skin.info.service". Is there anywhere I can download it so I can have it installed? I love this skin! Only issue I face is with the background default wallpaper hangs a bit when switching from the video to the main menu or settings. It flashes the video being played then goes to the default background I have setup.
