Hi, same thing.
I solved by pressing the back button and on top of screen appear a white button without label for 3 second, you have to press Ok on your remote controller and the installation start.
I try three times to install and on the third gone well.
Got it up and running, thanks!  🙂

I check the Mq8 Mod and the MQ7 Mod. No more Problems with the Ext.Info.Script. Good Work.

@latts9923 Possibly discovered issue with the Skin looking to load Extrafanart from the extrafanart directory which is not Kodi recommendations.

Hi latts9923, I mentioned this issue back with Kodi V18 and the MQ8 Mod skin (might have been MQ7 Mod), where the Kodi Documentation stated that extrafanart (fanart1.jpg, fanart2.jpg, etc for TVShows and moviename_fanart1.jpg, etc for movies) should be in the main directory of the TVShow or Movie. You did a change to the software so it looks in the main directory of the TVShow/Movie and then for an extrafanart directory.

It seems that that change never made it into this mod, as I was having issues in the Kodiflix/KodiflixTV (and tried in rightlist) where my extrafanart was not being shown, but default fanart was. I went searching why my extrafanart was not loading, and found an error for each TV show/movie that I viewed in the debug log (just one example of many listed):
Quote:2021-03-14 15:44:43.196 T:37640   ERROR <general>: GetDirectory - Error getting /mnt/Multimedia/MediaCentre/TVShows/Magnum P.I/extrafanart/
This error is because there is no extrafanart directory. There is nothing listed in the log stating it looked into the main directory first, which I do have all my fanart in the main directory.

As a test, I created an extrafanart directory on one of the TV Shows, put some rubbish images into that directory, loaded Kodi back up and they were instantly shown (and not scraped into the DB either).

So a few questions, which hopefully we can get a fix:
1) Is it your code or some helper code that is responsible for loading the extrafanart? You were able to fix this before (trying to find the forum post previously about this. If I do, I will update this post).
2) If it is not your code, do you know which helper would be doing this so I can target the right person. (as a side note  I did notice routines in embuary.helper only look for extranfanart directory. But, I disabled that and the error above still appeared in the log).
3) Since Kodi V19 now scrapes all artwork in its DB (and I can confirm all my extrafanart has been scraped with correct paths into my videodb), wouldn't the best/correct option now to load extrafanart be to look at the database and get the location from there, rather than presuming it will be in a hardcoded path?

Thanks again for your excellent work...

Hi just upgraded to matrix and I am having a bit of an issue. How can I add video nodes to my widgets so they display on main screen? In !8.9 I would go to menu add video node to sub menu and make it hidden. Then I would select widget on main menu interface. My video node does not show up to select when I do that in Matrix version.

I wish too there will be some patch in order to solve that problem.

Hello,

Where can I find the setting for the skin Aeon AQ 8 mod to change or adjust the visualization of the fanart when playing music (full screen) ? (see picture)
The visulaization that makes a pattern of 6 small fanarts from the existing fanarts, I personally do not like at all. Tastes are just different.
I want the existing fanart's in full screen - with pleasure also moved. Which script is responsible for this and where can i change this Huh

Thanks in advance

Hi! In the right list view, when you move at the top to the left, you get 4 general options. If you move to the right side, you see what you need.

@RB0135
Yeah, I didn't remove support for the extrafanart subfolder in case some users have not updated their libraries to have all their artwork in the main movie folder. I still have some myself that I use to test code with, so I never noticed that error. I did notice though that when you are missing the extrafanart folder, it no longer reverts to Skin Helper. I removed the code for the extrafanart support and it did use Skin Helper to display extrafanart with the "EXTRA FANART" setting enabled. I will have to scrub the files and remove calls for extrafanart. I know some variables for KodiFlix and KodiFlixTV use it (as you stated). You've forced my hand...haha. Thanks for reporting that...and you're welcome!

@pritt
Yeah, all music viz settings are accessible from Music by going to Top Menu > ART > SETTINGS (VISUALIZATION WINDOW).

Thank you, but I'm afraid I don't understand you. Which list view is meant ? In which menu ? (Tools, Settings, System ....) Skin settings ? Could you maybe please insert a picture, then I think I can find the dialog in question. Thanks in advance

Hello

@gaston70:
Ok .... Music ... Album ... Right mouse button ... and the pulldown menu .... the first entry is "Information", but who are Settings ?

There is an item with "load fanart" - but that is not what I am looking for.The fanart is loaded by the skin, but in the music fullscreen view it is displayed in this ugly mosaic look (fanart split in 6 same fanart) - in all other views the fanart appears normal.

No, it's much more simple: If you have an album, you don't press the mouse button, but move from here to the left with a cursor. Which pointer do you use? Only a mouse?


RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - latts9923 - 2021-03-14

@pritt
If you are using the default view, press the left arrow on the keyboard to access the Top Menu. Then right arrow to ART, then down arrow and select SETTINGS (VISUALIZATION WINDOW).


RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - pritt - 2021-03-14

@latts9923 
I have found ist ! This was a extraordinary birth ! This Menu is on the top of my screen - but the way is very difficult.

@alle 
I currently use the Aeon MQ only on the Windows computer, so without remote control only with mouse + keyboard.
Nevertheless, the MQ is not yet perfectly set here.

However, it is also very complex. My question is: Where's a wiki for this skin ?
