Have you tried browsing your movies, hit info on the movie you want, then select Cinema Ex ?

You can also configure the Cinema Ex settings to automatically launch Cinema Ex when you play a movie.

Thanks Ic3y it worked. Sorry I feel a bit stupid now, I'm very new to xbmc and absolutely loving it, and now thanks to this forum learning all the time. What's the setting in cinema ex to auto play?

Thanks again

It's under Miscellaneous --> Override Play Button.

I just connected a veralite system to my house and a z wave dimmer. I was able to edit the home automation python script to get some events working. The only event that isnt working is when the script ends by me pressing the stop button. Is there a way to get the lights to reset based off the event when I use the stop button?

There also seems to be a long time between the pause and resume events:

hi there,

I have upgraded to Gotham 13.2 and have re-installed the CE Script

Unfortunately it seems to be locking up my XBMC when I click on the button.

Can anyone see why this may be occurring?

Debug log here

Cheers,

litfoo

I can never successfully run CE. In Genesis, I choose the "Cinema Experience" option and nothing happens...at all.

Here's my debug...shows lots of errors. Using ACE skin with the latest CE version from Github for the latest Gotham version.

Can you interpret this? Thanks!!!!

Hi there,

first of all thanks giftie and everyone else involved for this awesome script.

I played around with it a lot the last days and I have some problems, that I hope you guys can help me with:
(running XBMC 13 Gotham with Aeon Nox 4.1.9 and CE 4.0.13 Gotham on OSX)

1. When I'm using trailer stream (720p) it is always buffering to a certain point and than comes up with this notification (picture below) and starts playing to the point where I guess it buffered to, then pauses and buffers again and so on...

If I want to use a local folder or the option to play trailers from my movie library nothing at all happens. No trailer is playing, instead CE just gets straight to the next step (like Movie Trailer Outro)...

2. I created a video playlist with VLC in m3u format and tried to use this as my coming attractions outro. It completely messes with the whole CE, it doesn't play any videos instead of the Audio and then goes straight to the movie...
I will try to creat a different playlist format and try again but still would like to know the error Wink

Again this is an awesome script that makes the experience truly special.

P.S.: Would it be possible in any way - as the very last thing before the movie starts - to show the movies logo or clearart (by choice) in front of a black screen for like 1.5 - 2 seconds?
what I would do is something like a video that says my HC proudly presents and after that video CE pulls the logo.png to show for 2 secs and then the movie starts Tongue

HI I have the cinema experience working on my test machine(laptop) and am in the process of setting up a full blown system in my living room.

Hi have created an Arduino project that controls all my lights in that room using a custom webpage. I have been reading through the forum and I am sure it can be done but I getting a little lost with all the information. When the main film is about to start is it possible to send a HttpRequest, like 192.168.0.3:34/automate.html?Lights=0 as an example URL.

Thanks, really looking forward to using this alot with friends and family.

I can't help you with your request but rather I am making one of my own. Is there a link or thread you used to get the veralite set-up? I'm VERY curious to learn this and have found the information a bit difficult to track down.

just like litfoo has posted earlier .. I have been now unsuccessful at running this script.. everything has been configured appropriately but just dosent run.. Using Gotham 13.2, AEON Nox Gotham 4.1.9.9 and latest script ..
Actually last night it worked again brilliantly.
What I did was turn off the 3D trailer support.
Is that still causing issues giftie ?

moravec · 2014-09-26, 20:06

@giftie... Any news about ce causing a xbmc crash?

Tks.

Hetfiled · 2014-09-27, 13:16

Hi all
when I launch cinema experience, xbmc freeze, and the only solution is to force to close the program.

Here my log

Anyone know where to get support for this plugin? I see a lot of bug reports and very little assistance.
