Just wanted to post a quick thankyou to the creators of this mod. I have been using it since it was 1st released.

Also used the previous versions such as warlions etc, and used the official nox 4.x.x.x which had all these bells & whistles back in the day that these mods are keeping alive, after nox5 went the watered down way to accommodate all the new users with raspery pis and nucs etc. (for any newcomers, thats basically what this mod is all about & why it started, official nox used to be more like this until v5.)

However that being said, im sad to say im retiring from this skin, and switching back to the official one. Had to do a clean install and its just too much work trying to get everything to work the way i want it. I still prefer madnox/nox4, however i could not get my random movie/tv backgrounds to work for main menu even with half a dozen extra scripts installed...so i figured im now too old for this and have decided to live with the less detailed nox5 as it works out of the box, even if it doesnt display half of what i want it to.

Thanks for keeping this alive for so long though guys, was great while it lasted! (sorry for the rant)

It's likely that your textures13.db and "Thumbnails" folders are out of date. I get random background fanart for TV shows and movies just fine. It only selects about 6 fanarts for the rotation in each category, but it does display content for the items in my library at least.

Another thing I have noticed, is that script.skin.shortcuts seems to carry over settings for one installed skin, and apply them to another, if the skin is changed. I'm sure this isn't desired as there are seperate entries for each skin in the settings.xml file for each installed skin (so long as it has been used at least once), but in my experience, this isn't being correctly applied when the skin is changed, which leads to all manner of weirdness (Including missing artwork). The only way to solve that issue, in my experience, is to delete the settings.xml file for the add-on and launch kodi again, with your desired skin selected, thus allowing it to "re-write" the settings.xml file.

There are still issues with this skin. Some of the old views load settings in a sideblade when they should be in a dialog, CD Fanart vs. handwritten fake fanart isn't working on the "classic" visualisation if the CDart visualisation is set to *anything* other than Blu-ray, and there are some very old dialogs that are deviod of any content whatsoever, that are obviously leftovers that need removing. That, and the sheer number of textures the skin uses fills up all the memory Kodi is allowed to access. Aside from that, it's a great skin. I've used many others, but always come back to Madnox.
