RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - bsoriano - 2018-01-02 (2018-01-02, 18:40)Mike_Doc Wrote: @mikeSiLVO, apologies on not getting back as didn't check over the holidays. I would like to take you up on your offer on working on aeon madnox and keeping it going. Mike, I wholeheartedly agree with you, and I also will work on both projects. @mikeSiLVO, please let me know how I can help. I am not a skilled skinner, but know enough to be useful, if you need the help. Regards and Happy New Year, Bart RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - Slipass - 2018-01-03 Hi, Mike, I still have an old bug in the feature settings of the skin settings. Whenever I want to edit the features, the Config for color settings appears. ![]() ![]() RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - Eisi2005 - 2018-01-03 Hi, how could i get a case for 4k movies. I have name the file and folder <movie> - 4k.mkv or <movie> - UHD BluRay.mkv. But i could not get an 4k case.

All my 4k movies contains "4K" (both dir and filename) RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - dvbtjunkie - 2018-01-04 SystemInfo Widget Network shows wrong. After Upgrade to LibreElec the Systeminfo InternetLink state label is gone. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=325933 It is possible to change the SystemInfo Widget? If the $INFO[System.InternetState] emty or connected then the status is connected? Or remove the Internetstate Check from Widget? Thanks a lot. dvbtjunkie. RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - Eisi2005 - 2018-01-04 I have a fresh kodi with madnox leia skin from github. I have some problems. The movie ist named Apollo 13 - 4k.dtsx.mkv The skin did not show the dtsx logo. The krypton version did. The case for 4k is also not shown. The German FSK rating is also not there. I had scrape a nfo with ember media manager. In the nfo file is this tag <mpaa>Germany:6</mpaa> In krypton version all is ok. RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - mikeSiLVO - 2018-01-05 Alrighty then... I need to use this forum differently from now on cause multiquote is no longer an option. @Mike_Doc Really looking forward to working with you again. I must mention that before I even posted about us working on the skin, I installed Aeon MadNox and that darn splash screen gave me the feels. I truly think we can take what you and schimi have done and update it to the best of our abilities. I think the issue is not "old code" per se but code that has not been "optimized". That word has certain meanings so not optimized does not mean wrong, bad, or old more like could be better ![]() @bsoriano My only gameplan ATM is start taking what the code has become and compartmentalize it better. Their are a lot of areas that repeat or use extra controls when a VAR could be used and areas where a VAR used is unnecessary cause of improved skin engine changes and back and forth... What I am thinking is to start a view each. I think this is more akin to a discussion on GitHub then to just start working it out on our own. Example would be that you guys @Mike_Doc or @bsoriano pick a view and we all try and work them down by discussing and making updates together. The best way I think to do that is to make PRs. I know we may need to work on how to use GitHub in the way I am referring but that is why we are gonna do this together ![]() If we all can see what each of us are doing then we all can benefit from everything each of us has learned. Not the biggest fan of the "Skilled Skinner" title cause the only way you get that is to post a skin to the Kodi Repository and it be accepted. I do not think any of us should consider that a badge of honor. Anyone who uses your skin or thanks you for helping, that is the badge ![]() @Slipass Feature request are OK but Mike_Doc has to approve them. If we are talking about PVR stuff then that is a little harder cause neither Mike_Doc or myself have a working PVR setup to test with. Really difficult to code that stuff if you only have the Demo client to work off of... There are not any options in the featured window to select so the appearance of it is just the colors so unfortunately not a bug. Not sure why you had a missing label in skin settings but it does no longer appear to be an issue. I must mention how important it is to be careful how you install a skin from GitHub, never overwrite xmls. Delete and replace. I know with a skin this large it is an issue. I will be making this part of a repo as soon as I can but I need to work on making the changes necessary to separate images from the skin xml. That isn't the highest on my "list" so do not expect that to be immediate but you never know... @Eisi2005 You are not providing enough info so posts like yours will regretfully have to be ignored, sorry. Please visit Troubleshooting (wiki) for more info. @dvbtjunkie Specific INFOlabels that are not working due to LibreELEC choosing to not fill them will be low on the list of priorities for me (anybody else interested?) but if you keep mentioning every few days or so I will try to look the code over and either add an exception for when LibreELEC is used or if the INFOlabel is empty. Trying my best to get to everyone but if I miss you please post again and PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE give as much info as you can. Like I stated earlier the littlest of things that you do not consider important could be the missing link, leave nothing out with your bug reports. Thanks. RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - Slipass - 2018-01-05 Hi Mike, sounds great. Unfortunately, I can not program well, so in the area of PVR I would only be able to test the change and bring new ideas. The Bug: I downloaded the skin again and the mistake is gone. Funny but good. I still have a suggestion. Kodi 18 will finally have integrated the emulators, will there be views in Madnox? One very important point I still have: You're just about to clean up the codes. Is it possible to get the skin to perform that it runs on low power GPUs? How about Odroid C2?In addition, the TVs are currently all designed for 4K/UHD, maybe the skin can also be optimized for this? Thank you very much for your help and effort !!!!!! RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - darkside281 - 2018-01-06 Hi, i am happy that madnox is being updated again for leia. i have one nagging problem which i am getting. I have a playlist (video playlist not skin playlist) that is set to show random fanart of tv or movies etc.. on the main menu. this works on krypton and on leia on Aeon Nox 5: SiLVO skin without a problem. at the moment it gives a black background. is this an easy fix.. ? https://imgur.com/MqK0X4O https://imgur.com/zC4ZKJL RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - Slipass - 2018-01-07 Hi, Mike, could you see if you can get the clearlogo display in RomCollection Browser running again? I have already written with the RCB programmer but he said it is a skin problem that the clearlogos are not displayed. The directory and settings for the Clearlogo are correct but unfortunately they are not displayed. Madnox has several. xml for RCB. Example: script-Rom_Collection_Browser-main. xml If you don't use RCB, I can test it for you. Example: For this test, i put the file "Super Mario Bros..png" in the path: ....Tools\Emulatoren\NES\Artwork\clearlogos The Logo comes from thegamesdb.com ![]() RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - gibxxi - 2018-01-07 I've not posted here in a long time, but after reading some of the posts from the last few pages, wanted to offer my 'take' on the situation and offer some assistance if required. Now I'm not a skinner or a programmer. Last time I wrote any lines of code was back in college about 20 years ago, so I can't help you guys with that. But I do have a working PVR setup using a 'HDHomeRun Connect' set-top box which serves all the systems I have here with TV capabilities should I need it (I don't watch much broadcast TV - It's just there, should I need it). So if you need a beta-tester to test PVR related changes, let me know. I currently have Aeon Madnox synced via GitHub Desktop directly into my Kodi add-ons folder. I generally run all my setups in 'Portable mode' on a separate drive to the OS as each of my main systems has an SSD as the OS boot drive, and I'm very wary of having anything on those drives that could cause excessive wear on the drive(s) lifetime. Other than that, everything is pretty much 'stock' in terms of setup. I have an optional dual-configuration using advancedsettings.xml files which can be run using local databases (SQLite) and/or remote databases hosted centrally on one of my two NAS devices (MySQL). This gives me the opportunity to run different configurations based on my needs at that point in time. My Library is fairly large, with 45,400 music / audio files, over 1,000 films and over 200 TV-Shows of various types. The sheer size of the collection (And the time required to scrape it) have forced me to move away from MySQL recently because until v18.0 goes prime-time, the performance of the databases, especially for music, falls off a cliff, once your getting up to the amount of content I'm adding. In terms of the future direction of Madnox, and Mike's own issues, I would say just keep moving forwards. I too have had a few mentally-challenging issues over the past 5 years. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with (and survived) a pretty serious form of cancer. Two months ago I was diagnosed Type-1 diabetic, which comes with it's own set of complications. So while I can't put myself in your shoes Mike, with regards the loss of loved-ones, I can identify with how it feels to constantly be feeling like your fighting an uphill battle. I also have a pet project (unrelated to Kodi) that I've needed to learn new skills for, from the ground up with very little in terms of outside help, and it too has seen some neglect when 'real-life' gets in the way. I know where your at - in a way. What I'd say to you is that if you had decided to walk away, no-one would of thought any less of you. You took on what was a momentous task in Keeping Aeon Nox / Shednox / Madnox not only 'alive', but also relevant. Kudos to you, Shimi2k, and the rest of the guys for seeing it through. It's primarily because of the 'heart-on-sleeve' mentality of all the team members, the openness exhibited by all, and the willingness to 'get-it-done' which has led us to where we are now. I would also say however, that if we are going to see all the effort that's been put in by all of you, bear fruit, then efforts ought to be focussed on a single project that does the skin, and Shimi2k's memory justice. Having multiple 'similar' projects going in different (albeit similar) directions is only going to add to end-user confusion, not to mention fragmentation. IMHO, the 'team' ought to get together over some kind of voice comms, and thrash out a direction that ALL of you agree on and work towards. Otherwise both projects run the risk of becoming fragmented, and potentially bogged down due to conflicting interests. That's just my 2p. Best of luck with the upcoming project, and should you require a tester, be sure and let me know. Regards, ![]() Dan / Gib. RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - Mr. V - 2018-01-07 @mikeSiLVO and @Mike_Doc The mentioning of the hours spent was just to say that a lot of time has been spent restructuring the code already. The approach i have taken is to start with a clean foundation, then in future add all the views back and options back. In its current state, most of the xml's (not including views and home screen) is there and ready to build upon. I feel that my contribution may be in vane and we will be doubling up on our efforts. My approach is different to what you have suggested. I was under the impression the madnox hosted on your github was just in maintenance mode and receiving bug fixes only? I don't understand what the overall long term goal is for madnox and really need some constructive criticism in regards to my rework. I would much rather work on this as a team. If there are creative differences, i am ok with that and can move on to a different project. EDIT @mikeSiLVO Please accept the invitation to my git-hub so you can see what state the skin is in. RE: Aeon Madnox for Krypton / Jarvis - [RC2 Revision 0.9.1] 30/05 - Mike_Doc - 2018-01-08 Hi, Ok new year now so new plans. @mikeSiLVO. I like your suggestion of starting with a view each. I will look at starting this week and will probably take KodiFlix. There is a lot of code in there that needs to be sorted out in both Movies and TV and somethings that should actually go like DVDshelf display as it has problems on the far right of the screen. So I'll start there and let you know via GITHUB with what plans I come up with for it and creating a more common code solution with VARS etc to reduce duplicated code. I'll also probably look into the fake discs and all that as I know there is a lot of duplication for that, the solution needs to be re-engineered and even possibly decided if it should still exist, but I know it is liked so it'll stay but just hopefully be improved, but that is across multiple views so for the time being I'll just analyze it and re-design the solution before re-coding. Also, there is probably version requirements outstanding due to changes in Leia, so we'll have to look into doing that which I think you've started on with your recent PR? @Mr. V, your time has not been wasted and as discussed hopefully M will continue on forward to what it becomes. You have always been a part of the team since your amazing widget work that you graciously did when the Krypton update happened where we all worked together as a great team and hopefully will continue too on whatever the project is. @Dan, cheers mate and your help is always valued as in the past. @Slipass,haven't done much on RCB.xml for a while I did create 3 new specific games views for Madnox in on of the last updates but they are outside of using RCB as that uses it's own xml like you have stated. I'll put it on the list but will have to try and get my 'games' set up again for adequate testing in the future. So, Mikesilvo and I will be the main team on "Aeon Madnox" from now on, probably with help now and then from good friends like Aries / Shadowtek for gfx, meowmoo for music and bsoriano for testing and perhaps coding if you still want to learn Bart? We are only starting up now but as MikeSilvo said bugs / improvements / etc are always welcome and we'll discuss whatever and see where it goes. So, Happy new year to everyone and hopefully Aeon Madnox can not only continue but evolve as well both in itself and as Madnox, but what is going on there will take a lot of time. Mike.

I am glad that Madnox is being developed further and that the fake discs are also staying.....especially with the Showcase and Low List view ![]() I like to support the optimized Madnox and bring ideas and suggestions. Just not program ![]() For RCB, I can also test for you or support otherwise? We also like to write by PM. I do not know if RCB in Kodi 18 will be much used if Kodi can emulate itself. I have another optimization. When I play movies or TV shows from the LAN, the disc are displayed "clean" in the main menu. When I pick up a movie on Live TV and switch to the main menu, the disc will appear with artwork. This has to do with the PVR Artwork Mod, which once worked completely. Is it possible to display the artwork for the movies or series in the LAN in the main menu as well?

So perhaps I can start with a less complex view, like low list. @mikeSiLVO, does that work for you? Also, I know you are already doing that, but I can help in ensuring each skinning change for Leia is accounted for in Aeon Madnox. Just let me know if you want me to help in that area. I still have to learn how to submit PRs, but I am sure I can find enough information online so I can do that. @Mr. V, I think both projects can co-exist, since they are different approaches, and, at least for me, they represent more learning opportunities. I think we can work as a team, regardless of which project (and, as I mentioned before, I would like to work on both). I perhaps don't say it enough, but thank you @Mike_Doc, @Mr. V, @mikeSiLVO for providing me an opportunity to learn skinning and for allowing me to be part of the teams. Regards, Bart |
