Once the file is imported into the XBMC library XBMC itself does not have to look up any information as its all stored locally and voilla you have the english bbfc logo Cool.

Hope that helps.

I think that may be the root of your problem. The script will look at the MPAA Rating field in the DB and expect to find an MPAA rating ("G", "PG-13" etc) but in your case it isn't finding that at all. Its finding "UK: 12A" (as shown in your screen shot) which means it probably won't understand what to do.

It would be nice if XBMC had localised ratings. So if you set UK in the location in the settings then it could scrap BFCC ratings and not the MPAA ones. Then the cinema experience would have a better chance of playing the correct localised rating video.

Edit:

Looking at my database, I have some films with the entry ' "Rated" <rating>' and some which are just '<rating>' (ie "Rated R" and "R"). Which I am not sure about, why would xbmc have two naming conventions for the ratings? and does this affect the script's ability to detect ratings?


Intermission - pang - 2010-12-15

It seems there is no option to put an intermission video and stops the movie in the middle to play it for x amount of time and maybe play some music. or i am missing something?

Thanks

only in the newest version, not available yet.

Thanks guys, I just selected the trivia folder I previously had and it is working almost the same way it did before.

The only difference is, if I'm playing music during trivia, I cannot skip trivia. As soon as I hit backspace, trivia quits, but then music restarts. I can't skip the music to get to the trailers. Next plays the next song, and stop stops the script altogether.

In the camelot version, when I hit backspace during trivia, it would stop both the trivia and music, and the trailers would start.


- Nuka1195 - 2010-12-15

skipping in trivia are the arrow keys. is your keymaps.xml stock?


- aptalca - 2010-12-15

Oh the arrow keys let me skip the individual slides. (Right arrow moves to the next slide)

But if I want to skip trivia altogether, that doesn't work. For instance I usually have trivia running until everybody's ready (popcorn's made, glasses full and everyone's gone to the bathroom, etc.) when we are ready, I push backspace, the trivia stops and the trailers start (or it used to, now the music just restarts instead of trailers)

my keymaps.xml is stock, I just have an additional keyboard.xml in my userdata\keymaps\ for SMSJump and SMS style keyboard input: http://pastebin.com/TMqBxvEK

Try hitting ESC to skip both the trivia and the music playing with it.

anyone else have a problem downloading the 1.0.2 update? I was, so I stupidly removed 1.0.1 and tried again. It's sitting stuck @ 0%, been like this for 15 minutes. I reloaded XBMC and let it start over thinking that might help.

Yes I did have problems with the update. I deleted the script folder from drive and re-installed the http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/repository.googlecode.xbmc-addons.zip. Then added the HCE back in again and configured it but asked for an update I ignored. So I never updated it again and all is working.

On a side note I did see in the script.cinema.experience folder that once it was updated it was missing the addon.py. That is why i deleted the whole folder and reinstalled it without updating it. Good luck

With 1.0.2 when I press escape the screen starts to flash instead of skipping the trivia. The trivia music keeps going but the script no longer runs. I tried 2 different skins to make sure it wasn't a skin problem. Running Dharma RC2.

does exactly the same for me running a nightly build from the 12/12.... and so i just leave trivia disabled in order for script to run but would really like this bug to be fixed (if possible i will give as much debug info as poss)

through a little bit of trial and error, its either the audio playlist for slides that is causing the problem or the trailer outro video...... turn both of those settings off and the script works fine with no flashing slides

EDIT - Its the playlist option... set as a m3u playlist and when tring to get past trivia, music volume increases to 100% and trivia slides flicker. No music = no flicker!


- KingJames - 2010-12-15

this script should not be third party, would be great if it was apart of the main branch hope mjaybe it can become a patch in the future

Good find, if I set the trivia music to an mp3 and not a playlist it works fine.
