RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - MasterKevin - 2022-02-12

Hi, I have a nvidia shield, kodi works well with it, I managed to install aeon 8, I wanted to ask if it is possible to add an option that by pressing the central button exits the "info" option so as to have cover and remaining time of the film without switching each time from playback bar and then on the info button, thanks.
I hope I have explained myself well.

Hi @latts9923 

a cosmetic issue with the new skin release.
Even if I have the filename extention = HDDVD into the movie file name, I don't see displayed the according right icon in the media bar.

Please see here what I mean

@andrzejls
You should definitely see the Apple TV logo. Are you sure the studio name has just the text "Apple TV"?

@Jumpy73
I see the problem. For a quick fix, open IncludesVariables.xml and find the variable "mediatype". Change the lines...
xml:

<value condition="String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,dvd) | String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,.ifo,Right) | String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,.iso,Right)">$VAR[videocodec_path]dvd.png</value>
<value condition="String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,hddvd)">$VAR[videocodec_path]hddvd.png</value>

to this...
xml:

<value condition="String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,.dvd.) | String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,.ifo,Right) | String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,.iso,Right)">$VAR[videocodec_path]dvd.png</value>
<value condition="String.Contains(ListItem.Filenameandpath,.hddvd.)">$VAR[videocodec_path]hddvd.png</value>

Do the same for the variable "mediatype_osd".

@latts9923. Yes. The only text is "Apple TV". I am surprised too since icon is in Textures.xbt, it is listed in database MyVideos119 table "studio".

Really enjoying the new media flags for the sets!  I think there is an issue though when its trying to display the flags for a 4k movie.  From these two pics you can see i have all flags present when i enter the set and view the individual movie but when viewing from the actual sets a numnber of flags are missing.  Can you check on your end if you get the same behavior?

@MasterKevin Not completely sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish but you can use a keymap to map any key to just about any function.


RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - hostile17 - 2022-02-14

Sorry for the basic question but is there a way I can set just one picture as a global background.?

@andrzejls
I finally got the Apple TV+ icon to display, but I had to manually update the simplecache Database. I use "DB Browser for SQLite". If you sort by "id" and scroll down to the "studiologos.get_studio_logo" rows, you should find Apple TV+ listed in the data column. When I selected that field, the path to the image was missing. I manually entered the path...
sql:

{'Studio': 'Apple TV+', 'Studios': 'Apple TV+', 'StudioLogo': 'resource://resource.images.studios.coloured/apple tv+.png'}
closed and restarted Kodi, and the studio logo displays. I'm not sure why the path is not getting populated (again, maybe the "+" symbol in the name). I tried deleting that record and letting it populate again, but the path was still missing, so I had to manually add the path.

@grimmace92
If you have missing flags after installing Metadata v1.0.46, you will need to delete the simplecache DB and let it repopulate.

@hostile17
You can set a global composition from SETTINGS > CUSTOMISE MAIN MENU. Select any menu item and select ENABLE GLOBAL COMPOSITION. You have options below that to modify the composition. This image only displays at the bottom 1/3 or so of the screen and is semi-transparent.

latts9923. Thanks for your effort; however, I followed your instructions and still cannot see "Apple TV+" or "APPLE TV" icons in TV_Shows.

Update: I got "Apple TV" to show


RE: Aeon MQ 8 for Matrix - latts9923 - 2022-02-14

@andrzejls
Great! I'm sure you can get Apple TV+ to display as well.

All, I'm working on a new view named Modern List for Movies/TV Shows/Music Videos. I've made some improvements from the original code, and I think it's ready for the next update. This will be included in all versions of MQ7 & MQ8.

I am afraid that did not work.
I am looking to turn off the Theme and just have one global background.

It's not too bad as I only have 360 or so artists that have music files in my local music folder on my NAS. As I mentioned before. I already created a separate folder for the "extrafanart" and "information" folders for each artist (I labeled it 1musicinfo) and pointed Kodi to it so as I listen to streaming music it is getting automatically populated. The hard part is cleaning out all my existing artist folders. Step 1 was to move all the artist folders that did not have any actual music files in them to 1musicinfo. I did that manually and it's already completed. The harder part that I am in the middle of now is moving all the "extrafanart" and "information" folders that are imbedded in all my artist folders as well as cleaning out all the other image files that have been added in there over the years. While I am doing that I am also using Musicbrainz Picard to retag all my music files. I've been doing it 10 or so artists at a time working from a-z. That is taking some time...I'm at "D"...LOL. Once it's all done I'll delete my current library DB (I use a central library DB using MariaDB on my NAS) and rescan the music folder to rebuild the DB.
Final update to close the loop on my music library project. I completely cleaned all my music files and retagged everything with Musicbrainz Picard. I rebuilt my music library DB and then spent several days cleaning things up. All my music is now clean and all have album covers (not all have disc images but it’s good enough). It was a long and painstaking project but it needed to be done. I saved away a couple of backup copies cause I never want to have to do that again…😄
