this maybe a stupid question, but is there a way to make cinema experience the default action when selecting a movie, so don't i have to press i, then the cinema shortcut

Hi,
I asked this a while back but didn't get a reply.

I use this Ipad/iphone app, and there is support for CE so when you press and hold the play it plays the movie via CE

.

this is my first time using this script.

approx. how long does it take for this script to run through and start the movie?

i tried to run it last nite, and I waited, for what felt like 2 minutes. does this usually take longer? I'm not seeing any errors in my debug log...

The script has two modes of use. It can be made 'default' if the skin supports it, or the 'traditional way' of starting it from the Info screen. There is also an external way as well(http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=664144&postcount=5) but that is a bit more than a user will see...

Skins like Transparency!, Aeon MQ 2/3, Aeon Nox... allow you to start the script from the Movies button(I think Aeon MQ 2 added a Cinema Button) This will start the script in a mode that it will sit an wait for a movie to be queue(Q on the keyboard) This method also allows multiple movies to be queued(based on the script settings)

What version of XBMC are you using?
What version of Cinema Experience are you using?

Could you also follow the intructions here to post your debug log for me to figure out why as well.

Hi Giftie, running nightly build XBMCSetup-20111005-288f496-master.exe and Aeon MQ3 1.4.0 and CE 1.0.5 runs perfectly. Many thanks.

Doesn't work with Night or Neon SVN, haven't tested with other SVN skins yet.

@Kokonutcreme
Hi Downunder. Thanks for uploading the old build. Appreciate that very much. I tried it out, was not working for me and then I discovered the new posts about that problem here. Many thanks for trying to help me anyway.

@giftie
Thank you for working on that problem. Just like Kokonutcreme I am running nightly build XBMCSetup-20111005-288f496-master.exe and Aeon MQ3 1.4.0 and CE 1.0.5 runs also perfectly for me. Thanks a lot for always taking care of the plugin.

Okay. So i tried it again today. This time it started buffering, then it acted like it was going to start playing the first trailer, and crashes.

I'm on ATV 2
your latest and greatest CE from this post
latest nightly - xbmc-20111010-34f799e-master-atv2.deb
Aeon MQ3

Going through my debug log, I keep seeing this error over and over again:
Error: Requested setting (pvrplayback.signalquality) was not found. It must be case-sensitive

not sure if this is what is causing it to crash.
Here's my pastebin


- giftie - 2011-10-10

Can you try it with out TV Tunes active?

I disabled TV Tunes.

Still getting the same results. The first trailer plays, and then after about 5 - 10seconds cuts out, and reboots the ATV 2.

Here's the pastebin.

I'm gonna play around with some of the settings to see if something works.

Thanks for looking into this.


- giftie - 2011-10-10

I have a feeling though that 'pvrplayback.signalquality' error might be flooding XBMC and causing it to crash. The strange part is I don't have that error when I am running Aeon MQ3(though I am also not on ATV2) but I do see a different one('pvrmanager.enabled' needing to be case sensitive)

Slight update, nothing functional, but added feature for skin developers to disable aspects of the skin(Busy/Buffering Dialog, TV Tunes)

I pasted the code in this thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=909503#post909503). I now have the Cinema button in the movie information screen. But when I push it, I get the intros/trailers but then it goes back to the movie list, i.e., does not actually play the movie.

The log shows that the playlist is cleared when I hit the Cinema button. Then the intros and stuff are added to the playlist, but not the feature movie.

I would need a full copy of your debug log to determine the problem. Please follow the instructions found here...

Here is my pastebin log: http://pastebin.com/AcbJFy8H

I have tried queing a movie and also simply launching the script from the movie's movie info page without queueing first.
