View Full Version : Mouse support? And missing fonts...
Hi,
For some reason when running Aeon I don't have any text - only the backdrops and other pictures load, but I can navigate through the menus etc fine? Well, pressing the button takes me to the section but I obviously can't read anything.
I'm using the latest Aeon version, and the latest XBMC build if that helps.
Also, is there anyway to get a mouse cursor? Some kind of hack?
Thanks :)

Thanks Hitcher!
For those reading this and wondering, you can enable mouse support according to this thread (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48996&highlight=mouse) by LaTropa (will try it now)
Not sure on the missing text yet, will keep searching and hope I find something ;o
Thanks again
here is the link to the fonts

Many thanks Mar, I actually already have those installed, but will try re-installing just to be sure (C:/Windows/Fonts right?)
Edit: Crap! XBMC/skins/Aeon/Fonts more like :)
Thanks!!
I've now got Aeon working perfectly, and with a mouse too, brilliant!
nope, it has to go into where your Aeon skin is
it should be something like this:
C:\Program Files\XBMC\skins\Aeon\Fonts
Ah, yeah many thanks Mar - must've caught me around the same time as the edit, many thanks for making me check the fonts!! Working great now :)
Guys, I'm really sorry but I have another couple of silly noob questions... I feel really bad for asking, but I'm not really very familiar with this at all and I'm not sure the best place to look to answer these particular questions...
1. The automatic backdrops are gorgeous! But how do I get better actual thumbnails for each series? (http://i40.tinypic.com/23lczrt.jpg) I didn't really want to change the main source as I may lose the backdrop/poster thing?
2. What's the recommended format for placing files? I have some like...
TV/Dexter/Season 1/Dexter - 1x01 - Dexter.avi
TV/Dexter/Season 1/Dexter - 1x02 - Crocodile.avi
TV/Dexter/Season 2/Dexter s02 e01.avi
TV/Dexter/Season 2/Dexter s02 e02.avi
... the season 1 format (Dexter - 1x01 - Dexter) works great in XBMC but the second season format doesn't show at all.
I have many other TV shows that won't list the episodes due to this, any recommendations?
Thanks again... and apologies too :/

The correct format for season 2 would be s02e01 without the spacing. You can try my MediaRenamer application (http://code.google.com/p/mediarenamer/) to turn all your episodes into a supported format (and add title for all).
Wow, what a great program! Thanks ccMatrix. I'd been using the decent Ken Rename (http://myprogramspace.blogspot.com/2008/07/krename-multi-file-rename-tool-v0.html) until now, but that MediaRenamer is absolutely perfect.
So you'd recommend a format like:
Dexter - 2x01.avi
? IMO it doesn't look quite so clean as:
Dexter S02E01.avi
...but if it works, and it's what the program recommends then I'll roll with that.

Thank you very much :)
You can choose either one in the options. I use the format
<series> - <season>x<episode2><title: - ><title>
If you change that to the following you should have your second one:
<series> S<season2>E<episode2><title: ><title>
That's super - thanks again ccMatrix!
Think I'll go with the second one (S01E01), as it maybe looks a bit nicer... hope it doesn't come back to haunt me later on when I find it's incompatible with loadsa stuff, d'oh :D
Edit: Ah no I won't! The browser/context menu things or whatever default to 1x01 and you can't change them, so I'll go with that :)
Sorry to ask another bloody question, but just in case the one above got lost, does anyone know how to get better quality thumbnails (http://i40.tinypic.com/23lczrt.jpg) please?

To change that, I think you have to go to Video, then press "C" on the folder that contains you tv shows and chose the option "Set Content" and enable "Use Posters".
I am not sure if that is right since I use a media manager to setup my content.
Thanks, I just went 'C' -> Set Content -> Prefer Posters
No luck unfortunately... is this an Aeon skin problem, or a general XBMC thing? Not sure if it'd be worth me posting in the main forum and not here ;o
Thanks again
You'll need to have it rescrape the shows that are already there for it to automatically get the posters. New shows you add to that source should work correctly.
Alternatively, you can press 'i' to bring up the Info screen for the show and click on Thumb to manually choose and change it.
Thanks vism - how do I rescrape the shows that are there? I've got to be honest, lots of TV episodes and movies that I've deleted from the source still show up in XBMC and I have no idea why, so a full refresh (rescrape?) could be good.
Sorry to bump this, but any idea on how to rescrape the files please?
Cheers
If you've removed things then you'll need to perform 'Clean Library' found in Setting > Video > Library.
Thanks Hitcher - I've got different folders at the moment, if I go 'Videos' -> 'Movies' everything is absolutely perfect, but if I go straight to the 'Movies' section from the main screen, it's an absolute mess.
I'll give Clean Library a try!
Just tried 'Clean Library' and no luck unfortunately :(
Is there anywhere to define where 'Movies' reads the information from, and completely refresh it all?
Thanks
