hello

First congratulations and tyvm to MarcosQui for creating this skin and sharing it.
it looks great, very fast, very easy to use.

and a question:

how do i animate (pan & scan) the main menu backgrounds, can't find an option for it.
pan & scan works inside the viewtypes but not at the main menu level, i'm probably missing something.

Great looking skin, congrats.

One thing I noticed in showart view the skin is mixing up logos and clearart -it is showing clearart for many of my movies by default when there are logo.pngs available, how do you set it to show only logos? Only when the movie has no clearart does it shows the logo view. manually choosing the logo for each movie does not work as well. The mix match in logos messing up the look of the showart view.

Moreover if somehow you can set skin widgets to work with smartplaylists that would be great as I do not use the Movies, TVshows headings in the main menu strip. This setup is available on Nox but MQ4 and Ace does not have this functionality. If these two options are addressed it would be near perfect skin.

Bluray = bluray, blu-ray, bdrip
Web = web
HDTV = hdtv
DVD = dvd, ifo, iso(whitout tag bluray)
3D = 3dbd(whitout tag bluray)

In others conditions the codec is showed.

Also you can go to the settings of the skin and customize the media case you like.

I tried using the tag function in Frodo but it doesn't seem to work? I created a tag called Blu-ray, added some files and the case still says DVD on it. I tried rescanning and that didn't fix it either.

Marcos congrats on the new skin, looks great.
What exactly are the video nodes? Is it like a smart playlist?

**Wanilton** · 2013-03-18, 22:40

Me23, search in XBMC wiki for understand how work video nodes. Is similar a smart playlist.

Wow, just amazing! I even stopped lurking and made an account just to comment.

But I have two questions/suggestions:

1. Am I the only one that thinks the text is too small? Somehow I have a hard time reading everything on the TV. (you can blame my small TV, but I never had this problem with other skins)
2. I love to see that more and more skins use Blacks Video Language Script but I wonder what point the "ENG" has when you're browing movies. Let's say you have a lot of movies with two langauges: English and Portuguese. Sometimes the first track is ENG sometimes it's POR so you have to check the info screen anyway to see what languages are available. I think the space would be better used if there were two or three flags representing the language.

But it really is a great skin! Thanks for your work!

No problem. It's a small thing, it doesn't spoil the skin for me, it's Ace! Nod

You need put a tag in folder or filename, eg.:

mymovie.1080p.bluray.mkv

Actually, I forgot to include this function in the main menu. Blush

astrotrain, Ace shows Clearart by default, if not has clearart, shows the Clearlogo, if there is neither one, shows the Ace logo.

I did it this way to keep to prevent voids without art.

lol no biggie, i just thought i was missing some option.
I'll be looking forward to it being included, i 've gotten used to it, i think it just gives more "life" to the menu Smile

ty for the quick reply.

Love the new skin, thanks so much for it. Is anybody else having EPG timeline issues? Seems to be broken here. (NPVR front and back HDHomerun dual tuner.)

MarcosQui...Once again a wonderful skin beautifully presented....testing it out on my laptop before migrating to main machine and I definitely like what I see. Will most likely convert from MQ4 soon. Still deciding on a Full Fresh Clean Install or update
I do have just one question though.
Is there a way to reduce the size of the Covers..On a 24" screen running at 1920 x 1080 they seem rather large. I am not at home at the moment so cannot screen dump to show you. This in fact is a similar thought on my main HTPC with MQ4 on a 42" plasma.

Alim · 2013-03-19, 09:22

MarcosQui , Thanks for another wonderful skin. How can i change the viewtype for this skin ? thanks.

Skank · 2013-03-19, 10:32

Ok MarcosQui, i just tried your new skin... I'm gonna give some constructive thoughts on it..
First i would like to thank for your work! We cannot encourage enoug what you are doing! And that for free!
Here are my thoughts:

Positive:
- very fast and responsive skin than mq4 (big issue)
- most important addons are downloaded automatically
- new mode view "right list" is awsome!
- more menu customization than mq 4
- new layout for skin widgets in main menu is much better!
- new movie information screen is much better!

Negative:
- when playing music, i personally dont like skin ace, and i way prefer mq4 , skin spinning etcetc, i just prefer looks of mq4
- for movies, i'd like to have no cover cases (this could be adjusted)
- looks of movie wall in mq4 is preferred over than skin ace

So in overall, i prefer mq4 looks (main menu bar and music part)

Skin ace is an improvement in some ways, but in other its a step back

So i hope you take all these positiv things into aeon mq5 and keep the music layout of mq4

A thing i liked in aeon nox is that you get a list of all addons supported by the skin, and you could immediately see which ones are installed and which ones not, and you could easily click it , to download it...

Perhaps also an idea for aeon mq 5

Thanks!

Hey Marcos,

just checked ACE...

My opinion:
Really good work...so to say a masterpiece Big Grin

Really good looking and fast responsive...

But, some problems with German MPAA...
Here we go with an updated "IncludesVariables":

Maybe you can include it in the next update...
