I can move the MovieQuiz app by itself just fine, but not through Cinema Experience.

Can i ask...I use MQ2 and the debug log addon I've got doesn't look like the screendump in the thread you have linked to. There is only email and folder options for me. cant see where I could 'post' to pastebin?

Sorry to keep harping on this! I set aside some serious time to devote to fixing and troubleshooting the "hang" that occurs with local-streamed trailers and I came up with some very interesting results I think you will be interested in.

First - I completely cleared my movies database, deleted .nfo's, removed the source, etcetera. I re-scanned from scratch. (sigh, my watched status...).

I then did a bunch of troubleshooting on single trailers, etcetera. The funny behaviour I eventually identified is this:

With only 'coming attractions' (it doesnt matter if its coming attractions or theater intro, actually) video enabled + 3 streaming local library trailers, I ran 10 consecutive hangs.

Disable any videos BEFORE trailers, 10 consecutive successes.

I didn't make another log since you said there wasn't really anything to see in the last one, but I am certainly willing to do so again if need be.

One other thing I discovered, pressing stop during the trailers has a high rate of what i will call a "menu hang", where xbmc is "paused" with only background, and responds to nothing. I don't actually care too much about this bug but I tested it vs. pressing stop on trailers launched from info-trailer, and I could not create the hang. [EDIT: actually, this happens pressing stop on the local coming attractions/feature/etc videos too].

I'd really like to get this working and it seems like there's a bug in the plugin or playlist functionality.

EDIT: I noticed when the "trailer hang" happens after coming attractions video (or whatever video) ends, if I bring up the a/v menu and press 'next' it just exits to the menu immediately.

EDIT2: If I use the a/v menu and press 'next' before end of the coming attractions video, I also have a 100% success rate. (trailers play properly) So it seems like its the transition betewen local videos and streams from library.!!!!
I hope this is valuable!!


What to do next?

thanks for your time!

Not sure what you are using(Remote, keyboard, or other means) to navigate through XBMC, but if Using a remote you should only need to hit the Ok/Select button, or with a keyboard press Enter
