WIP Random Trailers Beta 3 available
#1
I was inspired by the loss of the original Random Trailers to create an improved version.

Beta 3 released 10/09/2021. See below for details

* Gets trailers from the library, TMDb, TFH and local trailers folder
* Falls back to TMDb for missing trailers from local database
* Falls back to TMDb for missing local and TFH movie details
* Can be configured to run as a screen-saver
* Supports caching of trailers and metadata
* Can normalize the audio of trailers


Install image at: https://github.com/fbacher/script.video....beta.3.zip
Release Notes in wiki should be helpful: https://github.com/fbacher/script.video....ease-Notes

10/09/2021 2.0.7-Beta3
* Fixed several major issues found in Beta2. Did additional testing, same focus as Beta2

Issues (not in Beta 3)
* Delays or hangs Kodi during Kodi shutdown (fixed for Beta 4)

10/04/2021 2.0.7-Beta2
* Focus on Stability, bug fixes, live refresh when settings change, cache cleanup.
* Reworked UI to be much more MVC. Was not very disciplined on MVC, causing thread blocking, confusion of responsibility and fragile code. Main symptom is that when UI events came in randomly, the UI would get confused, lock-up, etc.
* With default settings, discovery thread(s) could be blocked on every run building map of local movies to TMDb ids. Delay could be more than an hour.
* Discovery of remote trailers for local movies did not work, even after configuring in settings.

Thx for your great work on this.
I get an error though
"The dependency on script.module.kutils version 1.3.0 could not be satisfied."
I am pretty new to this though. Please let me know?

What platform are you installing on (Linux, Windows) What version?

Is Kodi set up to automatically install updates? (See Settings -> System -> Addons)
Can you enable debugging, restart Kodi, retry the installation, save the log to https://paste.kodi.tv, and then reply to the link that you get back from pasting it.

See: https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file. If you use the LogFile Uploader, restart Kodi after you install it. Also note that from my attempt to use the Uploader, you can't copy and paste the URL.

After you send me the log, you can try installing kutils (aka Utilities for Kodi) manually from: https://www.kodi.tv/addons/matrix/script.module.kutils Click on the link "all" on the line "Platforms". This should give you a .zip to download, which you can install directly (I hope:-))

Hi fbacher.
Thanks for your reply.
I did a full uninstall and reinstall of kodi-19.1-Matrix-x64 on windows 10 - then activated debugging.
Then I installed "script.video.randomtrailers-2.0.7.beta.1"
No error this time and installed fine.
Will give it a go.
Thx for your great work again Smile
