The userdata/addon_data/script.cinema.experience/ha_scripts folder gets created either after you restart XBMC or Disable then Re-Enable Cinema Experience in the Addon Settings. This is because there is a service script that runs, but XBMC does not start it after it installs Cinema Experience. Once you do one of the above, the script will copy the basic home_automation.py script over to the folder. If you are going to use the one I have provided for Event Ghost, just copy it over the one that is there...

Ok I've found the Error.
The HA script is not installed in the installation folder, but in \Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.cinema.experience\ha_scripts
But the Event is not forwarded to EG. But i will look at the Debug log (found also the Debug option)

Hey everyone. I'm new to this board and had a question. I installed XBMC and Cinema Experience a few days ago and love it. I've got everything up and running fine and all of my videos and slides are working. Thank you all for the hard work making all of these. The question I had was while the slides are playing the majority of the times it kicks out of the slides after a little while and shows the audio visualizer with the music I have cued up for the slides. I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I have the audio files stored in an "Other" folder inside the main audio folder. I'm running all of this on a Mac Pro running OS X version 10.8.3. I'm completely new to this so if you want a debug report you'll have to tell me how to do it lol. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Okay I finally figured out how to see my log file. I guess with the new OSX they hid the library folder. Anyways the only errors I'm seeing is 00:09:11 T:2895882792 ERROR: CCoreAudioDevice::SupportsMixing: Device mixing support : 'No'. and T:2895882792 ERROR: Control 201 in window 11112 has been asked to focus, but it can't I have no idea what these mean or if they're even the problem but it's getting really annoying sitting at the computer just waiting for the slides to suddenly go to the play list visualizer. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Change your time on your screensaver. It's kicking in before the slideshow is done. This causes the Visualizer to show up since you probably have the that setting set in the Screensaver area.. There is no way for the script to disable the screen saver, this ability was removed from XBMC in Frodo.
