OK I have spent about 2 days playing with the app and basically love what I have initially seen but also found extreame frustration at not being able to do things that are clearly possible and probably easy when you know how.
I have used LinuxMCE & meedio before and have systems up and running with both but thought I would give this app a try and see how it compares..
Must say that what I have got it to do so far is impressive. With more understanding I am holding high hopes.
Right I am sorry if some of the stuff I am asking have all been asked before and sorry if I am posting in wrong thread. Basically I have struggled to find the information I need....Even with search without the 100% correct terminology it can be like finding a needle in a haystack
Right here goes..
1. Is there anywhere in the forums a guide to getting started? As in setting up the app with the aeon theme...Basically guides to getting movies, music, tv shows etc working with fanart etc etc..
2. Where do I find mods and plugins? Ok there are threads but I was wondering if there is a definitive list of these with descriptions just so one could browse down and think...ooo that sounds cool I will try that.
3. I have the app installed and using Aeon theme. I have movies, tv shows and music showing up with all fanart, covers etc ( looks very slick ) but when I go into movies form main menu...browse to a film if I then go back to main menu and select tv shows it takes me to the movie that I browsed to in the movie section and not the root of the tv shows as I thought it would.
Basically I am wondering how I set it to goto the movies when I select movies in the main menu and goto tv shows when I select that.
4. I was watching Aeon being used in youtube and there seems to be a section I cannot get working.. I have posted the screen shot from youtube and posted what mine looks like..
and mine
5. I found a post in forums about showing fanart for movies as you scroll through them. xb2iris posted this
But I could not for the life of me find where or how to get this.
Sorry for the long winded post and sorry if I have asked obvious questions. I am new and I am sure I will kick myself when some of these get answered but at the moment there are 1000's of posts in the forums and finding answers to each questions seems to take an eternity and I would rather learn how to set this up before I reach 90
