It does download the trailers but then Eden locks up and the Trivia never starts. I have to force shut down the app (Mac OSX Lion). I watch (the local) folder and they are downloaded along with a couple nfo files, then it never starts the Trivia portion. If I switch to stream it works fine, but occasionally it has to pays to buffer (bandwidth issue I am sure).

Same issue here. Eden Beta 1, Aeon Nox Skin, Ubuntu 11.04. Change to stream and everything is fine. Debug log here: http://pastebin.com/jc1ScU5s
Please note that the 1 minute timer for the Trivia is only set that way for my testing in Eden so that I can quickly check each piece of Cinema Experience and I know that it will not really provide the needed time for Downloading trailers...but the hang issue is there with or without the short trivia time length (normal for me is 15 minutes).

Gifte, Thanks for all the hard work. As an aside, I had read online that there is some trouble with multiple scripts running, I am not sure if that means that internal to your script that when we run the downloader script it can cause an issue...?

If I run the Eden Beta should I use the version meant for the pre-eden nightlies?

You want to run the Eden build written on the first page...e.g. 2.0.53 (as of this writting)

giftie Wrote:How to Get it?

Available through the unofficial repo - http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/repository.googlecode.xbmc-addons.zip

If you are using pre-Eden(aka Nightlies) you need to use the Eden Test Version.

Here are some new test versions...

Dharma Version 1.0.53 -> http://www.mediafire.com/file/6r7d1pqnfeib7xx/script.cinema.experience.1.0.53.zip
Eden Version 2.0.53 -> http://www.mediafire.com/file/3s3l2g3pvmenk02/script.cinema.experience.2.0.53.zip

I'm testing different methods of starting the downloader to run behind the scenes(so it does not affect the flow of the script) All methods so far cause XBMC to react the same way(freezing)

I'm trying to get enough info before I submit the bug to XBMC trac...

Have you tried a custom build from latest code?
It seemed to fix some issues i had with Artwork Downloader

jjwalker Wrote:Hello All,

I have been using CE for a long time now and love it. I recently install eden beta and CE is not working correctly anymore. When I go to my movies and select the movie to be watched I select cinema play in the movie info section then for some reason search result comes up (similar to when trying to get fanart and you need to manually search for the movie) this has never happened before I then click enter and nothing happens. If I hit esc instead of enter then CE runs as it normally does but when it is finished the movie does not automatically start it just goes right back to my movie selections. Is anyone know how to fix this.

Hi,

I just changed the button id to some large number and it works fine now.

HTH,

Nick.

Installed this over the holiday season and have it working perfectly except for one issue.

I have a small DTS file that plays before the film, but the playback is very choppy, almost as if the ATV can't handle it.

But, it plays DD ones fine and it has played a longer film smoothly too!

Is there a log or guide I can follow to try and eliminate this?

Thanks, I really do love watching films using this add on!

What skin are you using? The problem you are describing is a skin fault, the button id for the cinema button needs to be changed what was commonly used as a button, became a built-in function.

This was the problem with Neon. I've corrected the issue and pushed to Git. It will be on the Passion Repo tonight and in the Official repo in a couple of weeks.

Thanks giftie!


Trivia During Pause & Cinema EX on Play - Cru - 2012-01-03

If these have already been answered I apologize for the questions. I have searched and searched, but I can't seem to find the answers I am looking for.

#1 - Is it possible to have Cinema EX start when I hit play in the main Movies folder rather than going into INFO and selecting it there? If so what do I need to do?

#2 - Is it possible to have Trivia play when I hit pause during a Movie?

I am using last nightly build of Eden before Beta 1. (Haven't updated yet)
I am using AEON MQ3 v1.2
I am using latest CINEMA EX script

Thanks Smile

As for the skin you will need to post on the Neon skin page regarding the problem with the cinema button(id 13 needs to change)

It worked thanks Giftie and Stoli
