This mod is now merged to the official AeonNox skin from BigNoid. I would recomend all of you that are using my version, to switch over the to the official one. I will continue to add new features to the LiveTv section by providing PRs to the official skin. Thanks to BigNoid for the merge

Official AeonNox 5

My fork git

5.7.4-2.0
- Added support for Isengard

Just a few notes:
- In order to use the livetv widgets, remember to enable the widget via the standard home menu settings.
- In order to see the weather icon in home menu (next to temperature), Just enable and configure the weather module.
- You can add your own weather icons, size not important, but they should have no dead-space. In other words, trimmed. Icon location /media/weather/normal/


Changes so far:
- Added 2 channels lists: Wall view & BigList (enigma2 style)
- Added new channel OSD (enigma2 style)
- Infobar on channel switch (2 to choose from)
- Improvments on Guide-view (2 to choose from)
- Option to customize live-tv views via sideblade
- Added a White theme (best used with bright\light backdrops)

Epg-genre colors:
Genre colors are to be placed innside the following folder: /skin.aeon.nox.5.maniac/media/new_pvr/epg-genres/
Depending on your backend they can be either numbers (0.png, 2.png...) or by genre-name (Action.png, Sports.png, Movie.png ect...)

Installed repo, but when installing the skin download doesn't complete.
So it never starts installing.

Is there another way to get a hold of this skin?

[Maniac]

Hmm, weird. I've tested it on serveral installs (Windows and OpenElec), works fine here. Any erros in the debug-log?
Try removing the repo, restart Kodi and install again.

You could download the .zip from github, and try it. But you would have to update manually every time there is a new version.

UPDATE: So sorry ricardosunnie (& others). I found an error in the skin .zip. I've updated the repo and the correct version should be available now. Force refresh if needed.

Congrats Maniac. Your mods look awesome.

[ricardosunnie]

Working now! Great job Maniac, was waiting for this one for a long time now.

One thing I noticed is that the setting "EPG timeline display type" doesn't have any options to choose from, there is nothing I can select as was posible with the PVR mod before.

Using fresh install of Kodi 14.2 and fresh install of your skin version 1.8.1 on windows 8.1.

Thanks again for your work, really appreciate it!

Edit:
Would also be nice if you supply some of the epg genres .png's in the skin folder as you did before.

[Maniac]

Thanks for the feedback. Found the error, fixed. Force refresh the repo if you don't get the update.

[ricardosunnie]

Great, working now!

Hello,

i tried to install this skin from the Repo on a fresh Wetek OpenELEC 5.0.6 box.

But the skin installation always fails with the error:
"Skin Shortcuts - Installation failed"

Any idea?

Thanks and Regards

[Maniac]

Yeah it seems one of the dependencies won't install. See if you can find skin.shortcuts under helper-addons and install it.

Other dependencies:
script.grab.fanart
service.library.data.provider

I also use the wetek box with 5.0.6, had no issue installing the skin from repo.

[k69284]

I reinstalled OpenELEC on the Wetek box and DID NOT change the default language. Then I was able to install your skin from your repo. I don't know if changing the language could result in my previous problem with the "Skin Shortcuts - Installation failed".

But now I was able to install and activate your skin.

Question: Which "PICONS" can you recommend for your skin?

Thanks again and Kind Regards

[gurabli]

Thanks for this great skin! I join the picons question too, would be great to have an up to date picons pack, like in your screenshots. Where did you get those, and do you have for Thor W 0.8 too? If you have a template, it would be great!

[Maniac]

Well as you all know finding good picons can be difficult. I have collected mine over the years, and resized them. I do have plans to create a pack that everyone can use, but only for those channels that I have (exyu, uk & nordic).

For best results, make sure they are the same size. I use 220x132. This is equal to the so called "Xpicons" for enigma-based devices.

You can search on google for xpicons to find packs for specific satelites.

Sorry if this is a little outside this topic, would it be possible for me to add this code in your skin using Openelec on rpi2.
It should create a button in the videoosb. XML which if I click on it would run that script. Your skin looks really cool and it seems to work well with livetv

Code:

<control type="button" id="249">
                <posx>-55</posx>
                <posy>0</posy>
                <width>55</width>
                <height>55</height>
                <label>13395</label>
                <font>-</font>
                <texturefocus>icon_favourites.png</texturefocus>
                <texturenofocus>icon_favourites.png</texturenofocus>
                <onleft>205</onleft>
                <onright>250</onright>
                <onup>1000</onup>
                <ondown>1000</ondown>
                <onclick>XBMC.NotifyAll(SimpleScript, Toggle Lights)</onclick>
            </control>
