Just spent 5 worthless days trying to get Github to work, zero results, complete waste of energy. I'm pissed off and tired of the cryptic responses. Taking a break until I can find a solution that actually works.

It might be a bit obvious to mention this, but I am assuming you've checked out Mr. V's GitHub page for Aeon Madnox as a starting-point for areas that were still WIP at the point Mr. V disappeared. It's also important to note that this skin has been worked on by at least 5 different developers (to my limited knowledge), across multiple revisions of Kodi. So it's no surprise to me that the code is a bit of a mess. But in the absence of anyone else taking up the mantle of keeping it alive in the same form and feature level as was originally intended, you have my thanks.

It has been years since i worked on the skin. It was pretty much ready for the repo for matrix and I just felt burnt out, and thought next month i will submit it. That never happened and it fell off the radar, and i started to work on other personal projects.
I can help behind the scenes, and try to get it nexus ready with your support.

Hi Dan,
Hope you are doing well. I am back and will help Chris if he would like.
Yeah i have seen on github others have forked and worked on the skin. I can't say from the forks of the skin how much of a mess it is. I do know the matrix version on my repo is a clean version and was ready for the kodi repo at the time. I can see Chris used my matrix repo for a starting point. So everything should be ok. The WIP was really more things i wanted to add to the skin, not really required. There probably was a few overlooked bugs that was not fixed, but i am here to assist if required, but not as the torch holder.
Cheers
Mr. V (Nathan)

I'm using Omega beta 3, tried installing from the repo but it doesn't work.
Found addon.xml containsCode:<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.15.0"/>
Changed it to
Code:<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.17.0"/>
And now it's working on Omega beta 3
Will you make separate branches for different Kodi versions?
I'm not big in Github, but willing to help you with stuff like this!

Yes, that is the plan, I have the repo pre-staged for Matrix, Nexus, Omega, I just haven't gotten around to push and test it. I am aware of the .15 to .17, since Omega is still Beta, my primary focus has been Nexus with the leap to Omega which we know works... minus the moving the favorites dialog from one file format to another which has been strictly implemented yet... I imagine with Omega official occurs, it will not install on Omega for real if the files are still in Nexus mode.

Thanks for the reply.
I've been using the Mr. V's Madnox on Omaga for quite a while and haven't seen any real issues to be honest.
Only thing what I did found, don't know if this is known, that image calibration doesn't work on this skin?
When switching to Estuary, it works and I can move the arrows/subtitle location. With Madnox I cannot.
Anyway I'll wait for the repo and in the meantime just adjust addon.xml everytime a new version comes out

Would it be possible to version-bump the addon.xml file for Madnox on your Github repo so that the skin can be used by Kodi Nexus at the least? As last time I checked, it was still using Matrix as the UI version requirement, and thus directly synching (via GitHub Desktop / SyncBack Pro) into my Kodi installs, Kodi throws up an error that the skin is not supported in Nexus. To facilitate this also for Omega once it goes gold, you may need to fork your fork and have repos for each Kodi version. Not sure as GitHub isn't something I know much about.
TIA,
Dan / Gib.
