repository.lattsrepo-​​​-4.0.2
skin.aeonmq9.mod-1.2.3
script.artwork.helper-0.9.2
script.grab.fanart-0.16.0 (I could not find in repo but here is the github link. Click on the green button and select Download Zip)

@Juan Mortyme Great, thanks.

...
script.grab.fanart-0.16.0 (I could not find in reop)
...

Please don't use links in my quote as a couple are wrong. Go back a couple of posts to my original post #613 which I was editing at the time Gilogo made his post including the unedited quote. The links in the original should all be correct now. Sorry for any confusion.

Edited and the link for script.grab.fanart is correct.
Thanks!

@latts9923

Just a quick note to thank you for adding the combined consensus + plot setting. Only problem is it doesn't work. It only displays the consensus.

[latts9923]

@Juan Mortyme
1. If you want to keep the MQ 8 Video Info screen on a skin reset, you can remove the line...

xml:
<onfocus>RunScript(special://home/addons/skin.aeonmq9.mod/scripts/defaultvideoinfo_reset.py)</onfocus>

from customReset.xml.

Then when you reset the skin and import your skin settings, you should be right back where you were.

2. I forgot to update the Consensus and Plot code if you were missing the tagline. Replace your variable in Variables.xml with this...

xml:
<variable name="VideoPlotVar3">

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,plot) + Container.Content(seasons)">$INFO[Container.ShowPlot]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,plot) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Tagline) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Plot)">[COLOR $INFO[Skin.String(header_color)]]$INFO[ListItem.Tagline] - [/COLOR]$INFO[ListItem.Plot]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,plot) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Tagline) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Plot)">[COLOR $INFO[Skin.String(header_color)]]$INFO[ListItem.Tagline] - [/COLOR]$INFO[ListItem.PlotOutline]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,plot) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Tagline) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Plot)">$INFO[ListItem.Plot]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,plot) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Tagline) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Plot)">$INFO[ListItem.PlotOutline]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,consensus) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Tagline) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.PlotOutline)">[COLOR $INFO[Skin.String(header_color)]]$INFO[ListItem.Tagline] - [/COLOR]$INFO[ListItem.PlotOutline]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,consensus) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Tagline) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.PlotOutline)">[COLOR $INFO[Skin.String(header_color)]]$INFO[ListItem.Tagline] - [/COLOR]$INFO[ListItem.Plot]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,consensus) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Tagline) + !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.PlotOutline)">$INFO[ListItem.PlotOutline]</value>

	<value condition="Skin.String(preferplotmovie,off)"></value>

</variable>

It seems the Versions Dialogue for the skin is missing a button or two. When clicking on a movie with extras there is a window similar to the Versions popup appears, as it does in Estuary as well. The difference being in Estuary there is an "Extras" and a "Cancel" buttons whereas in MQ9 there nothing, the only thing you do is select the movie which takes you to its Info screen or backspace out.

 
Default Estuary


MQ9
 Notice the lack of buttons on the right side.

@latts9923

The removal of that line from customReset.xml did the trick, both the actual MQ8 view and MQ8 setting were restored. Best of all, no "loop" on resetting.

Thanks, I'll try the consensus fix a little later.

[knarf2570]

-> skin went back to main window, concerts window was shown, OK message on top

And that point doesn't work on my system. Here starts the loop.

If you are installing on a new system, you should see certain prerequisites when installing from the repo. This addon should be missing:

script.skin.helper.colorpicker-2.0.3 (Not available)

Without this addon installed, Kodi refuses to install the skin - even via ZIP.
Which version do you have installed?

Hello
@knarf2570 A long while back, when Latts9923 started doing his mods, he posted the requirements for his mods, so what I do before a new install, I make sure I have all of the required dependencies installed first. An easy way to find any dependencies required, is selecting the skin, then clicking the letter "i" for information then selecting dependencies and from there you can make sure you have everything needed, you can also open the proper .xml file and look at the required section.
->(tested) I did it again following your steps and I had 0 issues, all working OK.
I am glad it is working for you now, and you can always install another version of Kodi in the same system as your daily driver, all you have to do is install it as portable, you can even do this to test before you update/upgrade your main system.

Gilogo

Hi Gilogo,
My post was based on the assumption that it might be due to a faulty "script.skin.helper.colorpicker" in version 2.0.3, which I installed manually. Wanilton, who supported the original AEON MQ skin, once provided this file as a ZIP in the required version here in the forum. This is missing from the official Kodi repository or is only available in version 2.0.1 - however, 2.0.3 is required for the MQ9 skin. The 2.0.3 is only available via the Latts repo or as a ZIP.

Since according to the LOG this was installed on your system, I wanted to make sure with my question that we were using the same version. All the requirements were installed in the appropriate version on my system.
At the time of this post, I had not yet received the revised Python script from Latts ("defaultextendedinfoscript.py"). The existing version in the installation package caused this loop. After this was replaced, I was able to complete the setup of 1.25 and can now reset the skin at any time without any problems.

[Juan Mortyme]

@latts9923

The changes to variables.xml also worked. Thank you.

Try this version of the Video Info reset script. I think this will fix your infinite loop after a reset.

@latts9923 Tried to install/run this version and got "failed due to an invalid structure" on Nvidia Shield Pro. The new "py" file works for me.

[naughty001]

Hi new user here but i have been using the Aeon MQ skin for a fair amount of time .... thanks very much for the skin to everyone involved in creating it

i just wanted to point out that the infinite loop issue as described in this thread is not restricted to Windows based computers only - using build 1.2.5 of MQ9 on the Kodi installation on my Xiaomi Mi Box Gen2 also resulted in the infinite loop issue which i struggled with all day yesterday - but i then cleared the data on my Kodi install and even uninstalled Kodi and started from fresh and i was unable to get build 1.2.5 to work so i reverted back to 1.2.3 then i saw the post from andrzejls where he installed/updated to 1.2.5 from the repository after having 1.2.3 installed - so i tried this and it worked - it downloaded and the screen went blank for a while but while it was blank it actually updated everything and now i seem to have 1.2.5 installed .... and it seems to be working okay so far

thanks to everyone in this thread - it really is great to keep the app fresh and updated and working to its optimum

[latts9923]

It seems the Versions Dialogue for the skin is missing a button or two.

Doh...I never noticed that the Extras button was missing. It's been fixed and will be included in the next update. Thanks for letting me know!

[latts9923]

UPDATE #25 - This will update the skin to v1.2.6

Addition

• I added the pause screen furniture from Aeon MQ 8 to the pause screen. All the buttons to customize the furniture is available under SETTINGS ► SKIN SETTINGS ► GENERAL SETTINGS ► CHANGE PAUSE SCREEN. Thanks to Gilogo for the request!
  

Bug fixes

• I forgot to update the Consensus and Plot code for View Type-16 if you were missing the tagline. Thanks to Juan Mortyme for reporting this!
  
• The "EXTRAS" button was not displaying above "CANCEL" in the Movie versions window. Thanks to Juan Mortyme for reporting the bug!

@latts9923

Updating to 1.2.6 succeeded. I was not able to see v1.2.6 in your repo. This often happens to me with updates but this time even after trying all my usual tricks I wasn't able to make it visible in Kodi. So, I downloaded it and used the 'Install From Zip' method which worked smoothly this time. No reset 'loop', all settings, including info screens, were restored.

It seems other than the 'visibility' issue, which appears to be a selective rather than global issue, the update and setting reset problems have been worked out. At least on Windows based installations.

Great job, thanks.

Just a little FYI that may or may not be relevant. One of the things I tried was to use the file manager to add your repo to my source list. This work as in I was able to navigate the repo and find the latest skin update. With that I tried an 'Install For Zip' directly from your repo. This failed miserably, I experienced the download issue some users have reported. Although the download speed was normal it went on forever until I eventually gave up and force closed Kodi. After restarting Kodi and seeing no changes made I move on the traditional download and install.

[latts9923]

@Juan Mortyme
Doh...yeah, the repo was updated for MQ 7 & 8, but not 9. It's been fixed...thanks for letting me know! And you're welcome!

[wags1]

@latts9923 Skin reset worked normally with this update. Thanks!
