@latts9923 ok, here you go...

Movies
----------
Movie studio listings when multiple studios provided - pending

View 32 - Move Stars/logo/tag line up 20-40px

Add View Type 37(poster view) to be a "Forcible View" for Set Movies

tv shows autoexiting when theme.mp3 is present from TV tunes - pending

TV Shows
--------------------

TVshows >TV Guide (sub-view) I believe this should show the next aired addon in a calendar view of local tv shows, but for me, does nothing...I don't know if i have this set incorrectly or a different version needs to installed, I may just need some guidance here if it's working for others.

TV Show - Season-Fanart## when artwork helper is selected, This change was last implemented during the latest update. Most of my season-fanart## is a DVD case and therefore a giant DVD gets displayed with stretched dimensions in the background. In my case, I would just want fanart## to cycle in the background. While in the 'Art' settings, Default Fanart displays 1 fanart image, extra fanart doesn't seem to do anything, Artwork Helper displays season-fanart## when present (which I believe is the incorrect art and should be fanart##). To correct, I would propose that Fanart## be displayed using artwork helper (or extrafanart, I'm not sure which is technically correct to cycle multiple fanarts) for Seasons AND episodes, then on views like View-26 and View-24 ; give the user a choice in the settings to display Season-Fanart and/or fanart## while in TV show and season listings for View-26 and View-24.

See screenshots below for further explanation...

Add Diffuser option for Left Side of Episode Screen

Music
---------------
Cannot assign Icons to Parent nodes - separate issue related to Library Node Editor

TV Channels
------------------
View Type 11 - Add a bar above channel list to conveniently switch to TV Guide and switch channel groups

TV Guide - Fix Listing text overlapping

TV Guide - Center Channel logo Icons on the channel bar - If possible, otherwise they are fine as is

TV Guide - Add option to adjust color that effects the TV Guide listing (currently a dark gray, I haven't been able to figure out out how to get a lighter color)

TV Guide - strange clock icon on each TV Show listing

Settings
------------
Main Menu screen - Add color option to adjust color on system spec bars, currently they are always red

1. Hmm...I guess I told you how to fix it and then failed to include the fix on my end. Doh! It will be included in the next update. Thanks for letting me know!
2. I see what you mean...I fixed the duplicate plot problem. Thanks again for letting me know!

@Pi7a
You can cycle through your posters with View Type-18 if you have the "CASE ART" setting set to "CHARACTERART POSTER". Right now that is the only view that has this option.

@latts9923
ok bud no worrys, after all the learning and your changes you gave me I will stick with view 15 and make some animated gifs. its just popped in my head I can achieve exactly the same results and quality will be sufficient.

cheers

RE: Aeon MQ 9 Multi-Mod for Kodi 20 (Nexus) - twinpeaks - 2023-11-28

Very impressive - a couple questions

1) I don't like the 'smart menu' - the extra submenu on the right. Can I disable it?

2) Is there a toggle so that submenus pop on down cursor like all other skins Smile

3) I can't seem to find out how to add a "typical" TV submenu for items such as "in progress" directly on the TV submenu.

4) I see animated icons are supported - yay! Are we still at the point where I have to manually find them then copy and label them into corresponding movie directories?

Thanks!

I can give you a custom "media_fanart" variable to achieve this.

Replace that variable with this...

xml:


<variable name="media_fanart">

	<value condition="String.IsEqual(Window(home).Property(container6700_fanart),true)">$INFO[Container(6700).ListItem.Property(fanart)]</value> 	

	<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(animatedfanart)) + Skin.HasSetting(AnimatedFanart)">$INFO[ListItem.Art(animatedfanart)]</value>

	<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(fanart)) + Window.IsActive(videos) + ![Container.Content(sets) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DbType,set)] + String.Contains(skin.string(video_fanart),extra)">$INFO[ListItem.Path,,./extrafanart]</value>

	<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(fanart)) + Window.IsActive(videos) + [Container.Content(sets) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DbType,set)] + String.Contains(skin.string(video_fanart),extra)">$INFO[Window(home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.ExtraFanArt)]</value>

	<value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(fanart))">$INFO[ListItem.Art(fanart)]</value>

</variable>

@latts9923, a while ago you provided me the custom code above for my setup.
1. Default fanart for movies
2. Default fanart for tv shows
3. Extra fanart for seasons.

I'm still satisfied with this. But I forgot to mention that I also prefer to see the extra fanart images in the episodes window. Can you tell me please what I have to change in the code above?

Try replacing this line...

xml:
<value condition="Window.IsActive(videos) + ![Container.Content(sets) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DbType,set)] + Container.Content(seasons) + String.Contains(skin.string(video_fanart),artworkhelper) + !Container.Content(genres) | Container.Content(artists) + String.Contains(skin.string(music_fanart),artworkhelper)">plugin://script.artwork.helper/multiimage/listitem/?refresh=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&amp;&amp;arttype=tvshow.fanart</value>

with this one...

xml:
<value condition="Window.IsActive(videos) + ![Container.Content(sets) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.DbType,set)] + [Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(episodes)] + String.Contains(skin.string(video_fanart),artworkhelper) + !Container.Content(genres)">plugin://script.artwork.helper/multiimage/listitem/?refresh=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&amp;&amp;arttype=tvshow.fanart</value>

Working perfect. Thanks.

If I exit and reopen Kodi, the episode then shows up in the widget. Thanks

Can anyone confirm this please?

Hi @latts9923, do you think this is something you could help with please? It used to work fine in MQ8 btw

@latts9923 I know you've been busy, but wondered if you had looked at my issue? Only thing not working after moving from MQ8. Seems like when the TV widget is set as per I described, it doesn't update when the scraper runs? The widget only updates after I re-open Kodi or after watching an episode of something.

Hi,
Is there any existing info that tells us what is different about Multi-Mod vs standard MQ9?
Thinking about trying this, but would like to know what is different.
Thanks.

first comment will help you.

@starkos
I haven't yet...to be honest I must have skipped right past your first post on this. I'll take a look and see if I can figure out the difference.

@abba77
You can view the changelog as well.

RE: Aeon MQ 9 Multi-Mod for Kodi 20 (Nexus) - Shredder_guitar - 2023-11-30

I'm getting Disc art background showing up on layout 4

RE: Aeon MQ 9 Multi-Mod for Kodi 20 (Nexus) - andrzejls - 2023-11-30

I need some help regarding "Music" and selecting view (3 or 6 or 7) on Nvidia Shield. In latest rev. 9 no matter what I do I cannot get to bottom bar/menu where I can select those options.
@latts9923 can we have a simple/obvious method of getting to that "bottom" menu?.

EDIT:
Found the way this is done SETTINGS --> MEDIA --> MUSIC Switch to Visualization on playback. turn it on. Can we have this to be activated by default?

RE: Aeon MQ 9 Multi-Mod for Kodi 20 (Nexus) - latts9923 - 2023-11-30

@Shredder_guitar
If your image outside the disc is not transparent and you disable "SHOW DIFFUSE FOR DISC ART" you will see that background.

Your requests...

I moved the media info up to make it all visible in View Type-32
I forgot to add the "FIXED LIST" option to the Top Menu for View Type-37. Thanks for letting me know!
TV Guide submenu for TV Shows...I'm not sure what that's supposed to display either. I'll have to look more into that one.
For Seasons and Episodes, selecting "EXTRAFANART" will now display the TV Show fanart in the background.
For View Type-24 & 26, there is a new button named "FANART WINDOW" in the Top Menu that allows you to display either TV Show fanart or Season fanart.
The Top Menu button for the fanart shadow in View Type-17 was not displaying for Episodes. Thanks for letting me know!
I have a TV Guide button in the Top Menu for View Type-11. I'll have to look more into the channel groups.
I fixed the overlapping text in the TV Guide.
I centered the channel icons in the TV Guide.
I removed the clock icon under the programming title.
I added a button to SKIN SETTINGS > COLOURS that allows you to change the progress bar colour. Some code was already present to do this, the only thing missing was the button in Skin Settings.

@andrzejls
I'm not sure I can enable that setting by default...also I'm not sure everyone would like that to be enabled by default.
