It's expected that users want to run CinemaVision with custom content which just needs to be dropped in the appropriate folder in the CinemaVision content directory that they select. The folders that CinemaVision creates aren't locked in any way.
On my Mac, at least, it created sub-folders that had no read/write access to any users on the system. I had to go in and set them to read/write and apply to all folders within as they were all user locked.
Quote:We have to rely on skins to suppress the busy notifications and popups, sadly. I will tell you, if your skin doesn't support it, we have a guide that outlines exactly how to do it on the CinemaVision website. You can also have your skinner reach out to us, or let us know who it is and we'll try to engage them. I've heard of a few skinners who have added options in the skin settings just for CinemaVision.
I've always liked the Confluence skin the best, but reading about someone wanting to add a button option for Cinema Experience had the devs in a fit for some reason over 8 lines of code so it's kind of sad the user gets screwed based on someone else deciding for us what we should or should not have in a skin. The alternative is, of course to use a different skin, but thus far I haven't found any I really care for. The context menu button is fine for starting it. I just lament the "working" indicators that "pull you out" of the mindset. Everything else seems to be working OK. I don't know how it could ever detect "THX" though as an audio bumper since I'm not aware of it being embedded in any audio format. I ended up setting up a Feature Outro folder with THX trailers that play after the "feature presentation" and just before the audio bumpers for the exact format (with a bunch of odd stereo bumpers for undetected like AAC).
I edited the default script to play a random courtesy bumper (out of a dozen real and fake theater ones) followed by trailer intro (again almost a dozen random), trailers (skipped on alt script), feature presentation bumper (bunch of these as well), THX Random Bumper via Outro and then Audio Format and then the movie itself. The only problems I've had recently is that Kodi refuses to play the DTS HD-MA trailers smoothly found on a certain website in MKV format on FireTV 4K. I've since converted them to MP4 and they still freeze up. It's baffling, but has nothing to do with CinemaVision.
