Update 31st March 09
Aeon Stark Lite V0.3
OK if youv been reading this thread you no why there are a few versions but heres a simple lowdown
after many hours testing no matter how much smaller i make the textures/xpr the video playback issue is still a problem. this is due to fanart and general skin structure causing high memory usage by the time you go through the menus to your videos. also any custom backdrops SHOULD BE jpgs (if you downsize all backdrops and fanart to 960x540 you may get away with using fanart) so until a coder comes and cleans up the xmls and remove some animations etc this is as far as i can take it as im a graphic designer not a coder
i also recomend switching off unnessary features in skin settings like zoom animations and media flags etc, and also features in the main system settings like upnp server etc.
the 720p versions are mainley for appletv users to try. (PLEASE dont ask for support on appletv here as i know nothing about it. this is a xbox friendley mod)
PS music fanart seems to be alreight to use
SD.xpr version - for xbox and appletv users - http://www.mediafire.com/?ttdnwwtmlju (please remember to rename to textures.xpr)
720p.xpr version - for appletv users and (possibly xbox users) - http://www.mediafire.com/?nmjz5nyzxw3 (please remember to rename to textures.xpr)
720p unpacked - for appletv users and (possibly xbox users) - http://www.mediafire.com/?zd3mwqmund0
INSTRUCTIONS! if you downloaded the SD.xpr or 720p.xpr simply delete all files and folders from the aeon stark media directory and replace with this 1 file and rename it as textures.xpr
INSTRUCTIONS! if you downloaded the 720p unpacked simply delete the media folder from aeon stark and replace with the one found in this rar file
and remember resize backdrops and fanart to (960x540 jpgs)

So...
Just for clarification so I don't nuke my XBox...
The modification to the file structure noted in this thread is clear.
The OSD correction for music - the xml file replaces the file of the same name?
After making both file changes, put the whole "Aeon Stark" folder in the skins directory on the XBox?

make sure you backgrounds are in jpg format as the smaller the file size the less memory it uses as for the shutdown option enable in customization-shortcuts or click right stick in on xbox controller
tytherman
2009-03-30, 23:30
thanks.... found the shutdown, could not see it in settings until I put a background for settings! ;-)
I was expecting to see the new default backgrounds! still have some playing around as it seems ok excepting I have NO border on the menu on home page making it impossible to read on most backgrounds.

only thing i can think of is that you have all xbmc features turned on which consumes memory.
best thing to do is turn of things that you probably dont use.
like "Kareoke cds and upnp. (note when you dissable upnp in settings you can still playback upnp media from upnpservers)
also try disableing aeon features in the customization section like zoom animations and RSS/nowplaying in wall view. all these little things help.
already started work on another xpr so ill update tomorrow.

Great stuff rudeboyx!!! works great on the xbox. I have found in the settings section that the 'Weather' picture is all pixelated / corrupt. This might just be on my system though.
Once again great work
rudeboyx
2009-03-31, 02:44
yeah cheers, already sorted corupt weather pic and noticed a couple more, ill update this evening.
PS if your having problems with backdrops not sowing and strange slowness try deleting guisettings.xml from xbmc userdata folder. (you will have to set up all xbmc options and aeon options again) but it sorted alot of my problems as it gets cluttered up with skin specific settings when you change skins alot and mess with there settings. ie i recently downloaded loads of new skins through the installer-passion script and had a mess with them, which pounded my guisettings.xml and made aeon stark seem really messy.
but seems alot smother after my guisettings.xml got corupted for some reason today, so xbmc automatically reset it to default which at first had me quite anoyed but once i set it all back up, Aeon Stark was running like a dream.

Oh dude I cannot wait until I get home to try this.
rudebouyx is THA MAN!
Getting the invalid file error at MediaFire...
EDIT: it still isn't working, however I did the right click "save link as" from the MediaFire download screen and it worked just fine. Thanks for putting this together!
tried it on appletv since the full version was horribly sluggish, this one runs much much faster, but it has graphic glitches everywhere. just horizontal and vertical lines everywhere, mostly around gradients and shadows i guess.
any chance for just a zip of all the 720p files instead of an xpr?
2-7offsuit
2009-03-31, 04:09
Is there any reason you're using an xpr file? It'd be nice to be able to play around with your modifications and see if there's anymore optimizing that can be done, but unzipping and rezipping xprs usually gives poor results.
I've been in and out of this forum and for that I apologize ... I was a beta tester for Aeon Stark and was able to compress the textures.xpr file to 72MB and have it running flawlessly on xbox (with the exception of coverflow mode) rudeboyx, PM me maybe we can work together on optimizing the Stark

It runs great but there are graphics missing for me. The home screen background for the bar is missing (the dark grey part). The graphics for the layout view selector are missing and some other stuff. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm running it on an appletv version bf1.

What version of xbmc is everyone running when i try to change my skin i get this error:
"Incompatible skin. We require skins of versoin 2.00 or higher"
I am running the latest t3ch svn build.(T3CH XBMC 2009-03-04 SVN rev18221) ???

I'm not able to launch and play any videos while in Stark (on my xbox). Any ideas?:oo:
I'm running the latest t3ch build.
after numerous times selecting various shows or movies, it returns an error saying "Error, Playlist Playback aborted"
What version of xbmc is everyone running when i try to change my skin i get this error:
"Incompatible skin. We require skins of versoin 2.00 or higher"
I am running the latest t3ch svn build.(T3CH XBMC 2009-03-04 SVN rev18221) ???
Nevermind I had it in the wrong folder.
I couldnt get backgrounds (fanart) to show in movies....not on selected movie, that works, just where it randomly changes every 20 seconds. It just shows black background...plus movies won't play.
Only tried for about 20-30 min, still early and 1st release so no big deal

Was the promised fix released in another thread or are we still waiting?
Thanks.
thanks a bunch for getting this port released so quickly!
I've run into a few things - namely not being able to see any kind of back ground for menus which makes it pretty hard to navigate at times, but overall it runs pretty smooth. Can't wait for the updates ;)

Xbox users, you have to do a clean install! Though i guess deleting the guisettings.xml is enough, as rudeboyx mentioned.
I was having the same problems with the missing textures. Then i noticed i wasn't using the latest XBMC version, so i did a clean install (started with defaults) and deleted the XBMC savegame. Therefor i do not know if deleting the guisettings.xml is enough...
Rudeboyx, thank you for porting this beautifull skin!

Myself and a friend of mine are able to get the menus working without any problems, assign background pics, all of that...
But it won't play any movies.

First let me Say thanks ...
BUT there is a problem, my skin looks like this:

http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/h3he4hb8/Bild1.jpg
http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/zsh01azs/Bild3.jpg
same here, latest build of XBMC for macos/appletv, reset the guisettings.. on Atlantis bf1 there was no skin.. my 2 cents
i meant I did reset the guisettings but same issue with dodgy backgrounds
everyone who has problems with videoplayback should (at least) enable the debug-log in settings, so you can see, if the memory gets killed, when using cover-flow (or which view you are actually in).
i have this problem with many skins, except pm3.
after disabling fan-art it worked at least every second time.
(yesterday i've tried Stark (the original version) and the cpu-workload increased to 100% while navigating. no video or music playing. just "using the skin".)
What about a super-light version for the XBOX (PAL 16:9 in my case :) | 1024*576)
rudeboyx
2009-03-31, 15:45
alreight all you appletv users please note this thread is titled (XBOX FRIENDLY) as i cannot test on appletv, ony xbox, (these crazy vertical lines in all textures seems to be a appletv only problem), however i will be releaseing an update today witch will hopefully address some of your problems.
however could someone please fill me in with apple limitations ie RAM as i have no idea.
i will be doing three versions
720p for xbox HD user .XPR
720p for apple HD Users .RAR (so you can simply extract new textures)
SD for Standerd PAL users
PS xbmc.01 how did you get a 72mb xpr file to run well on xbox, seen as you only have 64mb to play with?
Thanks for your efforts!
Looking forward to the SD version so I can get this beauty running on the Xbox, been testing it with Plex on the Mac but my main media centre is still the little old console.
rudeboyx
2009-03-31, 18:01
been testing with xpr created at 720p. little old xbox still struggles to playback videos due to out of memory problems, and ocasional images dont load. if i create a folder containing just the images instead of a xpr the exact same thing happens so niether is really any good for xbox however i will still be creating a SD version which will be of the highest standard to look good on both SD and HD.
however as i stated i dont know howmuch ram the appletv contains so i would be happy to create a 720p version if it has more ram than the xbox (may be able to handle it)
please someone post to let me know about appltv limitations.
SD release still planned for this evening GMT

I spent a lot of time trying to optimize the Mediastream skin and what I learned was the size of the xpr file doesn't matter. It's the size of everything within it, uncompressed, that affects it. The entire contents of the xpr shouldn't be held in memory at one time anyway, but what I don't know is if it is more efficient for the Xbox to use an xpr file or just a Media file as Stark is be default.
That being said, I can't get videos to play either. I also can't get into the system info to check the available memory. When I go to Settings and hit the Info button I just get a black screen.

Works fantastic on Apple TV, Thank you!!!
Hats off to you rudeboyx! I was thinking this was the first skin that wouldnt make an appearance on the Xbox in some shape or form.
Hopefully I'll be testing very soon. :D
Well in fella!
I can confirm that the unpacked version for apple tv works great, so far no visual issues found.

An awesome update rudeboyx. Works great on my xbox. I have all of my backgrounds in 720p BMP format and video works fine. The video is on my xbox hard drive though if that is an issue. I will convert my backgrounds to jpg as recommended though.
Is the issues with stark and the xbox purely a memory issue or a cpu resources issue. If its the cpu resources I would have thought BMP would use less to display as it isn't compressed like jpg (jpg needs deconding etc.)
Nice one

purley memmory
720p bmb = 2.5mb approx
720p jpg = .5mb approx
it has to be loaded into the memory to be displayed hence why not have it take up 1/5th that of a bmp

How about the fanart xbmc downloads automatically?
Does lowing video cache settings help out with the video playback issues as well? If so what are your cache settings set to where you get this working? I'd love to get this working cleanly, but last night when I tried this I wasn't getting any video to play, I'll be tweaking a lot more things tonight to try and reduce memory usage.

try the tips as iv posted in this thread
delete guisettings.xml (Will require complete set up of all xbmc options)
convert backdrops to 960x540 jpgs
turn of as many features as your comfortable with
use SD.xpr
(TIP) turn on debug mode in system settings to get a visual on ram usage when you get to episode level or movie level it needs to say at least 10000/64000 kb to playback video. sometimes if you wait around it increases which leads me to believe its definatley a system resorce using memory and not skin

not much you can do but it is cached as a jpg then retitled .tbn so its in the correct format its just the dimensions thats the problem but if all main backdrops are reduced fanart may be ok at 1280x720.
lets hope the xbmc developers are going to introduce a advancedsettings.xml feature to reduce fanart cache size like icons. that would solve alot of problems

I've done all that except for downsampling backdrops.I'll just remove them when i get home and try again.

The aeon project website states that uncompressed bmp files should be used for fanart and backdrops. Would either work or are you suggesting to go 960x540 jpg format?
And thanks a LOT for the updated textures.
tried out the 720p unpacked on my appletv, works much better than the original xpr, so thank you for that.
there are some still really slow parts with cover flow and especially the file manager system, but its usable now. sometimes i see thumbnails flashing blank while flipping through them. i doubt that is anything you can fix and is probably just a limitation of the appletv hardware.
just a tip, don't try to do video calibration.. there are no arrows :) they are missing in the original version too, but took me 5 min of testing to get it back.

DJH sugest this soley to improve the speed that the backdrop are displayed and for fading in and out porposes, but thats no use if you cant get the backdrops to display at all. bmps did work fine with the original version of aeon but that was a much less feature packed skin which didnt require as much memory to run.
so to clarify jpg definately the way to go for memory saving.

rudeboyx,
I'm sad to report that I'm still having issues playing videos with Aeon loaded. I have regenerated the guisetting.xml file, I am using the SD textures.xpr package, and I'm not using an special backdrops for now.
In debug mode, I have more than 33k available memory. By the time I get to the movie selection, it is down to about 11k. I might be able to start a TV shows or two at this point, but I have not been able to play any movies yet.
Do you have any ideas?

It is important to mention that XBMC started having issues with memory in the last couple of month which have been adressed in the latest nightly builds.
The latest build as of now is 19098.
I'll check it out when i get home and let you know if that fixes the problem.

The latest T3ch happened before the supposed fix.
google "xbmc nightly build"
[a little OT]
yes, that memory issue makes me crazy.
all my skins (basics vision, vinci, vision2... except pm3) are running out of memory.
since the last 3 builds, i guess.
but nice to see, that i'm not alone with that problem.
by now, xbmc on xbox feels like a beta-system :;):

Follow krukayze's suggestion. Latest nightly seems to be okay on the memory front..... for now. Will test further.
But it still won't successfully run Stark... will try to revert to an older build and see if it's any better.

Yes, plays nice with xbox, NTSC 16:9
Update 31st March 09
Aeon Stark Lite V0.3
after many hours testing no matter how much smaller i make the textures/xpr the video playback issue is still a problem. this is due to fanart and general skin structure causing high memory usage by the time you go through the menus to your videos. also any custom backdrops SHOULD BE jpgs (if you downsize all backdrops and fanart to 960x540 you may get away with using fanart) so until a coder comes and cleans up the xmls and remove some animations etc this is as far as i can take it as im a graphic designer not a coder
...
and remember resize backdrops and fanart to (960x540 jpgs)
What standard is 960 x 540? NTSC 16:9?
I don't know, I'm going off the above quote.
Maybe i missed it - but could you edit the 1st post to include instructions on how to install this mod on xbox/appletv
INSTRUCTIONS! if you downloaded the SD.xpr or 720p.xpr simply delete all files and folders from the aeon stark media directory and replace with this 1 file
INSTRUCTIONS! if you downloaded the 720p unpacked simply delete the media folder from aeon stark and replace with the one found in this rar file

Is there an adult pack?
XBOX
I've tried the original texture file release, the 720p texture file, and the 720p unpacked files. I'm still not getting the background bar for the main menu, rss, or time/date stamp. Also, the background/frame in the settings screens is missing. I've deleted the guisettings.xml as well.
What am I missing?
I really love the direction this is going, but I'm getting discouraged.
I've tried both, not getting that bar either.

I had the EXACT same problem. I finally upgraded to the latest nightly SVN of XBMC found by Googling "XBMC Download for Nightly Build". That along with deleting the guisettings.xml found in UserData fixed it. I'm using the SD texture file and it's working perfect so far.
Note that I tried just deleting guisettings.xml before finally upgrading XBMC but that didn't work for me.

I forgot where i got the high res one from :)
I had the BG missing, i figured out though how to fix it. Get the latest NIGHTLY build and it should work. I also did clean XBMC install.
Does this mod work with 0.91?
I'm using xbox and would like to use Aeon Stark. Would it be possible to release a complete working Aeon Stark for xbox, instead of just the modification files? Maby also include a sample background in the correct file format and size? And maby also include a sample guisettings.xml?
Reading thru these pages only makes me confused...
Another alternative would be to include complete instructions in the first post. I know that there are already instructions, but there still seems to be some confusions about what to do. So maby even more instructions would help? Or maby a FAQ?
I also wonder if I should use the SD, allthough I have a HDTV-ready TV capable of 720p? I know it says so on the first screen, but what does it mean? Will the images be stretched or what?

No, no updates on this thread, i will be making an update in the future when DJH releases another big update, until then check out http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=47994 by paul.
to be honest i was a little dissapointed in the initial relese due to the lack of xbox support, not be ungreatfull, hats of to djh for all the hard work, but im an mainly an xbox user and PM3.HD goes to show that even feature packed skins can still run smothly and not suffer from memory problems, so for the time being i only use stark as a music juke box.

I am a XBOX user, but where the hell can I download Aeon Stark Lite V0.3. First post provides only the textures.xpr???
Am I right when saying: "STARK 0.91" + "xbox textures from first post" = "Aeon Stark Lite V0.3"
Thank You guys

you are correct. you need to download aeon stark v 0.91 from http://www.aeonproject.com/.
there has been alot of development on aoen since this mod so the textures will not work with anything other than aeon 9.1, and i have no plans for upgrading these textures. too busy at the moment and when i finaly do get any spare time, things seem to have progressed and changed alot so i usually have to start from scratch. Damn XBMC and its speedy development. lol
