In Movies -> View: Info
Navigation is jerky
When watching movies needs better OSD for controls. stop, ff, rw, play etc.
When updating info about movie, music, etc. the status needs to be more intuitive in most cases it just appears to freeze until you realize that you need to look at the bottom of the screen.
Other than that...I really like the skin and look forward to the next release.
i've dealt with a few of those issues for the next release... status popups are a no no... that was very low on my list of things to do, due to lack of time... but they will be dealt with later i promise... video osd has all those buttons in the new release... and the info view is completely different now, so see what you think of it when volume 3 hits...
midgetspy Wrote:Wow look how far this mod has come. I think the only features Horizonz needs to make it have all the functionality of PM3 are:
- in Movie Info view when viewing the cast the actor thumbs don't show up (there's an empty spot for them though)
- when you click on an actor from the cast list the search results come up behind the Movie Info window (can't read them).
That's pretty amazing compared to Aeon which was pretty much un-usable because of all the missing features! And those 2 features are pretty minor and are being looked at already I think... xb2iris you have done an amazing job of patching in all the missing functionality from Aeon and making a totally usable skin! I love the look of the new lower home scroller also, and I can't wait for the fanart backgrounds to work in Info view so I can stop using Showcase :0)
I'm sure you have no shortage of feature requests, but I had a thought about the home screen that I think would be very interesting. Now that XBMC scrapes fanart I have hundreds of 720p fanart pictures in my movie folders. I've considered copying them all into my home background folder but this'd be pretty annoying to keep up to date. So I was thinking, is it possible to add a skin option to enable the addition of fanart to the random backgrounds? The skin would automatically use movie/tv/music fanart to scroll in the respective categories if the feature was enabled. I think this would be a fantastic feature for fanart lovers, and since this skin is pretty much the ultimate fanart skin I'd think many users would appreciate such a feature.
Anyway keep up the good work and thanks again for turning Aeon into such a great usable skin!
you mentioned the actor thumbs and actor search window issue a few times now, and because of your persistence, i sorted it out for you... so, check back when volume 3 comes out... didn't do anything special, but it works now... or i think it does... hehehehe...
i looked into your other idea yesterday, and i don't believe it's possible, and if it is, its beyond me... the reason is because fanart folders are user specified as source items, and thus, pointing to it in the code would be a bit of mission... also, i have no idea how to point to the cached fanart images... it is an interesting idea though... i kinda like the thought process, but i wish my coding experience was extensive enough to deal with it... sorry dude... but rest assured, actor thumbs and actor window are in for next release...

Keep up the great work xb2iris
thanks man... hopefully aeon stark will get sorted out some day... lots of potential, but according to djh, no time...

there's a view in the tv shows section called widecase... its disabled by default, so it needs to be enabled via the viewtypes tab in the tv shows section menu... then u'll be able to access and use it...
