Recently I have been having issues with Cinema Experience. I am currently running 4.0.10. The script seems to build the playlist, but after that, it is basically like xbmc is restarted. The machine doesnt reboot, but I see the skin loading up again like i killed the app. Doesn't matter what video I try to play, the same result occurs.

The link below is the tail of the log prior to starting up the script. Just going to the movie, pressing info, and then selecting cinema on Aeon Nox skin.

Hi!

First of all: Thank you for this great AddOn!!
It works great and I use it quite a lot

I just want to suggest an additional feature that I'd really like to see
in this AddOn - and maybe someone else too...

I'd love to be able to launch a "home automation"-trigger by a given timestamp.
For example, I would create a "chapter.xml"-file within a movie-directory and
add the following lines:

Code:

<chapters>
    <chapter mark="5123" title="Credits" ha-trigger="Script End" />
</chapters>

In this example at the 5123 second mark of the movie the trigger "Script End" would
by executed. So that - in my case - the lights would slowly light up as soon as
the credits begin to roll.


Greetings and keep up the great work!

Thanks for the quick response. Is there a work around I can try? Could you elaborate on the issue? I rolled back to version 3.0.6 and worked but then the same problem came back even on that version.

[FredG89]

Do you have anything playing after the movie?

No, it's the last thing that plays.

The script does use a lot of processor power with the last video(the method for testing for the end of the video isn't the best). I have changed how the script handles the testing end of the video so this should be fixed in the next release. For now you can add a closing video and see if that is better..

I'm using a 3.9GHz quad core processor...I'll try adding a video after and see if that helps.

On some systems, the script will attempt to open full screen video before XBMC has the video ready to play. This seems to happen mostly on OpenElec systems and some windows systems. All previous versions have the same code.

I don't think the speed of the processor matters due to the nature of the loop.

Did a quick search for a few key words in this thread and come up blank, so figured I'd just throw this in for good measure:

setup:

XBMC 12.2
Aeon Nox 4.0.9
Cinema Experience v3.0.10

I've noticed with one of the more recent releases (as my path's have never changed over time, but this has stopped working, thus must be a CE/XBMC issue) that the path's to locations cannot have apostrophe's in them eg.: "M:\Movies\Intro's\blah\blah\blah".

I found my trailers were playing fine when running CE, however nothing else was. When I checked the config, I found a tone of ";amp" over, and over, and over again to the tune of hundreds in my file paths. (eg. ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp).

When I checked the trailers path (that worked), it was short, with no apostrophe: M:\Movies\Trailers\
When I checked where the ";amp"'s started in all my other path's it was at the ' in intro's...: M:\Movies\Intro;amp;amp;amp;amp\audio\.

I changed "intro's", to "intros", recreated the file path's again and everything stuck and worked as expected. Quick fix, but figured it may also be a quick internal fix as well to cope with apostrophe's

Cheers,

Mungo.

I saw same issue with folder names Q&A. Changed to QA and path seems to be right now.

Require a full debug log

Will change the path again, recreate and grab that tonight.

Hey guys, great script! I've been using xbmc for years and this will be perfect for my outdoor movie theater setup! One question though. I am mainly just using the trivia slides and movie trailers. Is there a way to skip the slides after they have begun and go into the trailers? I have found double clicking will bypass the slides, but it also bypasses the trailers and goes straight into the feature. I would like to set the slides to say an hour or more and let them play until everyone is ready to sit down and relax outside, then hit a key to start the trailers.

Is there a way to do this with a script or some code I could write? Thanks again for an awesome addon!

I think it was the back button. Not 100%

[aptalca]

Yup it's the back button. I did that same thing. . . Set the trivia for a long time and I press the back button when everyone is settled

[revned]

Is it possible to let the script play a random movie from the library?

[dezblack]

Does anyone know how I can modify the home automation script to determine if the movie is 3d from the filename and send the trigger to eventghost as being 3dmovie start or movie start if it is not 3d?

Since the removal of HTTP-API from XBMC(now going on 2 years) there is no direct method of randomly choosing a movie to play. A script can be created that can poll XBMC for all of the Movie ID's then randomly choose an ID. Then it can call the script with the ID.

What version of XBMC are you using? Gotham does provide access to the settings via JSON RPC, and this can be used to pull the screen info.
