I'm having this same problem... Just switched to XBMC from plex for this script. The issue i'm having (and maybe its because im on a mac) is that I can't find the directory that you had said the default folder was in.

I'm not sure if the file structure changes at all on a mac but I wouldn't think so. Make sure you have enabled "display hidden files and folders" or whatever the equivalent setting is for mac and it should be in Storage --> .xbmc --> addons --> script.cinema.experience --> resources --> skins ...and the folder will be named default, change to Default

update: I think i found the folder on osx, but when i changed default to Default it still wouldn't play the trivia. Any other ideas?

/Library/Application Support/XBMC/addons/script.cinema.experience/resources/skins

Can't remember if you said you sorted this already but did you ensure that you're pointing CE to the correct 'Trivia' folder? Reference the below post from earlier and make sure the file structure is the same. Also make sure your slides.xml file is set-up correctly for the slides you're using. If that still doesn't work, put XBMC into debug mode, restart the system, try and run the CE script and after it crashes when it tries to start the trivia, post your log.

Downloaded slide packs and put them in following location
./home/Cinema/Triva/Q&A
./home/Cinema/Triva/Slides

but cant get the slides to work I kept them in the folder I downloaded so in Slides folder theres Blockbusters folder and in Q&A I have Actor Scramble, Frame by Frame and Guess Who

in the Triva setup I pointed CE to ./home/Cinema/Triva/Q&A and ./home/Cinema/Triva/Slides nothing loaded just skipped it altogether so then tried ./home/Cinema/Triva/Q&A/Frame by Frame, which didn't work the slides.xml is there then tried ./home/Cinema/Triva/Slides/Blockbusters but nothing.

are all the files just meant to be in Q&A or Slides without the subfolders?

Not sure what you've tried so far but here are the steps I took that worked for me when I was having the same issue...
As RagnaroktA already said, make sure CE points to the Trivia folder. It will scan your Q&A and Stills folders recursively so it's fine to have the slide folders within the Q&A folder. For example if you were using the actor scramble pack you would have:

Trivia ---> Q&A --> Actor Scramble --> individual slides w/ slides.xml file

The slides.xml file goes in each folder that contains your slides (one for Actor Scramble, one for Guess Who, etc.) and you have to make sure that your xml file is accurate to the slides you are using. Just to make sure its not an MPAA restriction issue, set the rating in the xml file to "G" to ensure it is used regardless. Then check the naming structure listed in the file and compare it to the slides you're using. Make sure the extension is correct ( .jpg .png .etc) and assuming you're using standard a/b slides you need to adjust the naming structure in slides.xml to match the files so if the files read something like slide01_a / slide01_b, the xml file should read question format=".+_a.jpg" / answer format=".+_b.jpg" ...if your xml file looks like this but your slides don't have the underscore, CE won't read them properly. Here is the correct slides.xml file for the actor scramble pack:

Code:

<slides>
    <slide>
        <slide rating="G">
        <question format=".+_a.jpg" />
        <clue format="N/A" />
        <answer format=".+_b.jpg" />
    </slide>
</slides>

Assuming that's correct, CE was crashing for me still but giftie steered me in the right direction:

The folder path is...

Code:

~/.xbmc/addons/script.cinema.experience/resources/skins

Yeah I got my head out of my ass and figured out the answer to my stupid question, lol. Thanks for the help though!

Cheers!

So navigate to ~/.xbmc/addons/script.cinema.experience/resources/skins and change the folder default to Default:

cd ~/.xbmc/addons/script.cinema.experience/resources/skins
ls
make sure the the folder 'default' is there
mv default Default
ls
ensure folder is now name Default

Then do a proper reboot and see if that works (as it did for me).
Hope this helps!
