Cinema Experience Crashes Kodi - teknikalcrysis - 2015-05-25
I have no idea what has happened....I had Cinema Experience working perfectly (minus any use of home_automation.py)
Movie Intro, Traliers, Tralier Outro, Countdown, and Feature Presentation Intros were all set and working 100%
I decided to start trying to work with Home_automation in an attempt to get my LimitlessLED Bulbs to Dim at the start of the Countdown Video and the Brighten at the Feature Presentation Outro
Now all of the sudden when I try to launch Cinema Experience Script from the Context menu...the screen dim like normal a few seconds after making the selection...but then it hangs for about 30 seconds and then Kodi crashes and goes back to home on the reload.
I have tried Uninstalling the Cinema Experience plugin, even deleted the folder for Cinema Experience in User_Data to purge the settings for the plugin. Then I re-installed the plugin, setting everything back up as far as the Intro/Outro and Trailer Selections, but left out the home_automation and didn't even attempt to enable it this time...and still when I try to launch the plugin from context...kodi hangs/freezes and then crashes
I am running OPENELEC on RPi2 using a Custom Modified Confluence Skin so that I have the Cinema button in the Context Menu
Here is the Kodi.Log
Kodi Log
Here is the Kodi_Crashlog.Log
Kodi Crash Log
other than reverting to a backup to a point before Cinema Experience was installed and starting from scratch there (which I'm trying to avoid, since my last backup was over a month ago) I am not sure what went wrong...or why for the last 3 days the Cinema Experience Script worked flawlessly until I started playing with the Home_Automation.py
Please HELP! lol
EDIT:
Okay so I UNSTALLED the plugin a second time, PURGED the Cinema Experience folder in User_Data...as well as PURGED the cinema experience.zip contained within addons\packages and completey SHUTDOWN instead of just rebooting...
Cleared Kodi Cache on restart, Reinstalled the CE Plugin, Shutdown (instead of Reboot), Restarted, Setup the CE Plugin once more...and now its working again...
I still have no clue what was causing the script to crash kodi..
I guess I just need some help on getting the Home_Automation.py to send the necessary UDP Hex commands to my LimitlessLED/Milight Bridge to have control over the Lights
(and I am Clueless on how to do this) But determined to figure it out...because 3 months ago, I didn't have an RPi2; so this is all New to me..
But in the 3 months...I have put together my own RPi2 running OPENELEC/Kodi for the sole purpose of have Lightberry Ambilight Hardware addon on my TV (Which works with Awesome Sauce btw) so I thought this Cinema Experience script with Home Automation for lighting control would just be Icing on a very delicious cake!
EDIT #2:
And tried a third movie using the CE script...and back to freeze/crashing
EDIT #3:
A Couple a reboots, and then it works....something is up...and I'm to dumb to figure it out lol
EDIT #4:
Aside from these random crashes or freezes; can someone point in the right direction for dimming my lights using the Home_automation.py
I found some python script info related to my lights on http://www.limitlessled.com/dev/
and using an example of some python code there, I think this is the code I want to run when the countdown video begins
Code:
import socket
UDP_IP = "192.168.1.12" #this is the IP of the wifi bridge, or 255.255.255.255 for UDP broadcast
UDP_PORT = 8899
MESSAGE1 = "\x42\x00\x55" #Select All Light Groups
MESSAGE2 = "\x4E\x02\x55" #Dim Lights to Low
MESSAGE3 = "\x42\x00\x55" #Select All Light Groups
MESSAGE4 = "\x40\x90\x55" #Set Lights to Color
MESSAGE5 = "\x42\x00\x55" #Select All Light Groups
MESSAGE6 = "\x4E\x02\x55" #Dim Color Lights to Low
print "UDP target IP:", UDP_IP #don't really need this
print "UDP target port:", UDP_PORT #don't really need this
print "message:", MESSAGE1 #don't really need this
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE1, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock.sendto(MESSAGE2, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock.sendto(MESSAGE3, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock.sendto(MESSAGE4, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock.sendto(MESSAGE5, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock.sendto(MESSAGE6, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))at least I think I got that right...I honestly have no idea what I'm doing haha
EDIT # 5
Got it! $$$
My lights now dim when I want the to...I had to modify the python code for eventghost action as follows
Code:
import socket
UDP_IP = "192.168.1.12" #this is the IP of the wifi bridge, or 255.255.255.255 for UDP broadcast
UDP_PORT = 8899
MESSAGE1 = "\x42\x00\x55" #Select All Light Groups
MESSAGE2 = "\x4E\x02\x55" #Dim Lights to Low
MESSAGE3 = "\x42\x00\x55" #Select All Light Groups
MESSAGE4 = "\x40\x90\x55" #Set Lights to Color
MESSAGE5 = "\x42\x00\x55" #Select All Light Groups
MESSAGE6 = "\x4E\x02\x55" #Dim Color Lights to Low
print "UDP target IP:", UDP_IP #don't really need this
print "UDP target port:", UDP_PORT #don't really need this
print "message:", MESSAGE1 #don't really need this
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE1, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE2, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE3, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE4, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE5, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
sock.sendto(MESSAGE6, (UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))now they DIM at the countdown, and brighten at Presentation Outro! Yay! and I still have no idea what I'm doing or how I made it happen lol
Confluence - Larbfit - 2015-05-30
I was using latest CE with the modified Confluence skin on XBMC. To add a Cinema button from the info page, I added some code to an xml file as outlined here:
https://sites.google.com/site/ceslidestrivia/configure-skins
Now that I’ve upgraded to Kodi Helix, I can’t seem to locate the same directory to add the code to the xml file.
Where did it go, or is there another method for Kodi?
I was fumbling around and discovered that if I enabled the setting to launch CE when play is pressed it worked, so that will be a good “Plan B.”
Anyone have any ideas on this?
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - x23piracy - 2015-06-05
Hi,
if this is interesting for some milight users, i have a pyhton script that is configured as a boblight device so i can drive 2 stripes and 4 bulbs in my living room with the main color of the screen, i modified it so that if there is no playback that they turn off instead of going to white mode.
I have still some issues with the script and iam very bad with python script language so if someone is interested i will poste it and i could maybe improved.

Surprising this add-on hasn't been updated or another similar one created if the developer is no longer able to work on it. Seems to be a popular and extremely cool system. Has anyone else found anything like it that might take it's place if this one eventually stops working?

We're working on it! After months of radio silence from giftie, and no new builds or features, and with Kodi 15 on the horizon, we decided to move forward creating an add-on. We're footing the bill for all of the work, and we've hired a very well known Kodi developer to take on the project. He knows Kodi inside and out, and is working on it right now. No release date, features or official announcements just yet, but watch for news soon!
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - kgian - 2015-06-18
Yeah! I like this addon so very much!!! Please hurry! Just kidding. Do your best however long it takes!

Believe me, we're moving as fast as we can! Development started a just few weeks ago, but we're very excited to get what we've dreamed up out to the community. I can tell you that it's going to be done the right way, the first time. Unfortunately that basically means it'll be ready when it's ready. We do have the right team working on it, so that's good news.

Well that sounds promising.

Is the possibility of trailers from french site (like allocine) is envisaged?

As of this moment, we are looking only at trailers from Apple Trailers and possibly YouTube. I just sent the question over to the developer, because you bring up a good point. We need to figure out how to make this work for all of our friends around the world. We'll see what solutions he comes up with, and thanks for the suggestion!
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - Levi59 - 2015-06-19
I used CE some time ago but as i don't want to search and download for new trailer each week, I configured CE to display random trailer but the problem was that they were all in English but mostly there were no subtitles ... So it quickly became annoying.
Since I expect that a language option for the video or subtitles is added ... It would be great if so.
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - kgian - 2015-06-19
I use CE to display 2 random trailers before the movie and a sound intro according to the sound format the movie uses. The random trailers buffer heavily before starting and sometimes during playback stop and buffer again. When I play the same trailers through the apple trailers addon they play straight without any prior buffering. I have 12mbps stable connection.

That is FANTASTIC news! This is a SOLID add-On for Kodi. In my opinion, this is something that should be included with the core app, and maintained on my the Kodi team. Many thanks to giftie for getting the ball rolling, and it now looks like it is in good hands again!

Shhhhhhh! Don't say that the Kodi team should do anything that would benefit all sorts of people. They'll call you greedy and selfish for it!
