RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - CaptainKen - 2012-12-17
The "Aeon Nox" skin isn't listed on the CE first page as a compatible skin, but on the AN forum page CE is listed as compatible. Shall I assume that the CE first page simply hasn't been updated?
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - furnace - 2012-12-17
great plugin, i am enjoying it immensely. off topic question, how do you automate downloading trailers to a local folder from hd-trailers (or anything else) i have been scouring the forums looking for something, even started searching for RSS auto downloaders which didnt work out. I dont want to have to manually download trailers each week. cheers!
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - CaptainKen - 2012-12-17
Well looks like I got this phenomenal add-in working! Wow, it definitely sets the bar for the cool factor! Nice job and thank you!
Now I'm left with two questions:
1) I followed the recommended folder structure, but it skips a few.
What about THX and Studio files?
Is it as simple as creating a THX and a Studios folder (case sensitive)?
2) Also what is "Home Automation"?

stuff like turning the lights down/off as the movie starts.

As furnace had responded, it is for controlling lighting and such. There are a few YouTube videos out there that show off what some have done.

I figured that's where they should go, but for a prominent standard like THX it seemed very odd not to have it's own folder. The same with Studios.
Thank you for clearing this up Furnace and Giftie!
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - moravec - 2012-12-18
In my experience audio files in the OTHER folder are never played. Usually the .mkv is either DTS or Dolby. So how can I trigger a THX file in the OTHER folder? I quess there is currently no place for THX files, maybe they could be played pre/post audio format?

Hi moravec, the Other audio format is used when the source is not AC3 (Dolby Digital), DTS, Dolby Master Audio, or DTS HD. e.g. mp3/aac/flac/ogg...etc. I understand that you want to have both the Audio format bumper, and a THX bumper...however, that is not available at this time.
If you just want the THX bumpers, then duplicate (or symbolicly link if in Linux/Mac) the THX video files into all of the Audio format folders, CE will still only play one from the folder referencing the audio format of the source.
RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - JCole - 2012-12-21
THX is not an audio format, nor is it a "studio" (arguably)
THX is a standards company who set guidelines for ways that audio and video hardware and environments should react.
I do not believe there is a THX flag for any sort of media content, because all "THX" means during a movie intro is that the novie was mixed to THX reference standards. However, I do have a thx logo that I play as part of the theater intro, because the THX Deep Note is badass.

Had a laugh at that. Because I do it for the same reason

sorry i dont had enought time to read all the 89 pages...
heres my question:
- is it or would it be possible that the plugin always plays the newest trailers (number of trailers configurable) from trailers.apple.com?

I wonder who needed this explained.

Same here.

THX is a standards company who set guidelines for ways that audio and video hardware and environments should react.
This is remenants of the original script when there was not a lot of options for audio(XBox Days) It was used to give people a 'audio' intro. Quote:I do not believe there is a THX flag for any sort of media content, because all "THX" means during a movie intro is that the novie was mixed to THX reference standards. However, I do have a thx logo that I play as part of the theater intro, because the THX Deep Note is badass.
I was thinking about adding a few 'generic' intro settings to give users that they would be able to put what ever they wanted to play every time(cartoons, etc.)
But first to get it Frodo ready.

The script already streams(and downloads) the newest trailers. This is still based on what Apple supplies. They don't often share nicely.

Seconding this. The site has TONS of THX, DTS, Dolby intros, plus studios etc.
I question why anyone would need studio intros though. Seems like every dvd and bluray rip I have already has the studio intros encoded into the film itself.
