while testing my procedure of CV over and over I'm running randomly into a crash. The crash only occurs when the feature film is supposed to start, all other sequences are running fine. It's crashing circa 30-60% of the time the movie is about to start. Having the problems on Madnox Skin and Confluence. Running Kodi Jarvis Beta 4 on MacMini

It's best not to run Jarvis yet, CV is designed to work with the latest stable release only, which is Isengard 15.2.

So the major issue we see in your log is this:

Code:
03:35:06 T:1373772264 DEBUG: CSMBFile::Open - opened Cinema Experience/Sequences/[ Default 2D ].cvseq, fd=-1 03:35:06 T:1373772264 INFO: SMBFile->Open: Unable to open file : 'smb://UNRAID/Cinema%20Experience/Sequences/%5b%20Default%202D%20%5d.cvseq' unix_err:'2' error : 'No such file or directory'

Do you have a sequence file named [ Default 2D ].cvseq in your %CVROOT%\Sequences directory? Did you name that file or was it somehow named that way by default? Is the path smb://UNRAID/Cinema Experience a valid path? It's possible that naming your sequence file [ Default 2D ].cvseq is illegal with unRAID, or it could continue to be a permissions issue. You could try renaming [ Default 2D ].cvseq to Test.cvseq and see if that helps, but my earlier suggestion of checking permissions and setting up a user account instead of using root would still be my suggestion.

Quote:Be sure you have a user role defined. In older versions of unRAID, root could access any share. In newer versions of unRAID, root can define shares, but he can't see share contents unless authorized. Set up a normal user and give him Read/Write access to your shares, and all of the data in them.

People described having to script something to change permissions on each and every file stored on the unRAID volume when using the root account. They would have to run this script every time a file was created or moved to the share. I'm not sure how to check this in unRAID, but their forum would be a good place to start.

I got a seq.cvseq in the map sequences
Yes smb:\\unraid\cinema experience is correct

Maybe the crash report helps developers in any way though Wink

I have been using Cinema Vision for the last couple of weeks(well done good work). I was using Cinema Experience before and also using xbmc.callbacks.

I have a few homemade light structures (Particle Photon and RGB strip) that I use curl commands to control. Currently I do that only through xbmc.callbacks but with Cinema Experience and now Cinema Vision every bumper would cause the pause and resume scripts to be run. I will be keeping call backs for the start and stop feature, but I would like to see the pause/resume scripts handled by cinema vision. So is there a way to call a .cmd file from cinemavision on pause?

MidnightWatcher · 2015-12-15, 22:59

I'm not at home at the moment but you can run a specific action file during both pause and resume. It's somewhere in CinemaVision's settings, just poke around and you'll find it.

Out of curiosity, do you have KODI set up to pause for a few seconds during refresh rate changes?

jjhtpc · (This post was last modified: 2015-12-16, 00:25 by jjhtpc.)

Yes I have Kodi setup with pauses for refresh rate. That is why I was hoping to have some sort of cinemavision command that would handle pauses. Quite possibly avoiding the lights down, lights up partially, lights down, lights up partially, lights down cadence.

I could always kill that feature all together but I built the lights to be the ambient light for going to the restroom and this is why I want them to come up a little on pause.

I have tried to add an action and then put the path of the .cmd file in there but I get an error stating missing arguments/protocol.

MidnightWatcher · (This post was last modified: 2015-12-16, 00:34 by MidnightWatcher.)

Other than disabling the "Adjust Display Refresh Rate" setting in KODI, the only way I know of to handle pauses in between trailers/bumpers would be to disable the refresh rate change and enable it just prior to the feature (see instructions here). There will be a pause in between the last video bumper and the main feature, but that cannot be changed unless you disable the pause setting KODI, but I presume you'll want to sync the refresh with the feature film.

jjhtpc · 2015-12-16, 17:54

Oh that may work. Thank you for that suggestion. Yes that is exactly what I am encountering is the playing/pausing is causing the scripts to fire. So this would allow it to only fire twice, once when cinemavision starts and then right before the feature. That would be much better. Thank you very much. Now I just have to figure out how to call the .cmd from an action.

MidnightWatcher · 2015-12-16, 19:50

I think if the CV action file to disable "Adjust Display Refresh Rate" is the very first item in the sequence it should only fire once, just as the feature plays.

The log you posted was the crashlog, which we have no idea how to read. Big Grin

Post up your kodi.log when you encounter an issue and we can see if it's a bug that needs fixing for Jarvis, or a result of the unstable version of Kodi.

Check out this post for examples. What you want to do should be super easy. I haven't tested it, so if it doesn't work post up your log for us. You should be able to run anything that you'd be able to run from your command line on any OS. For example:

Code:
# This example will open Google Chrome to the CinemaVision.tv website by running a Command or Program

command://google-chrome

http://cinemavision.tv

# This example will run a batch file in Windows

command://C:/Temp/Run.bat

Excellent suggestion, as always. Thanks for the help, MW.

If it's an Action Module added to the sequence, it will only fire once. Make sure that you re-enable "Adjust Display Refresh Rate" after your feature so it doesn't break when it tries to disable the already disabled setting. Big Grin

Do you have a sequence file named [ Default 2D ].cvseq in your %CVROOT%\Sequences directory? -> No , I got a seq.cvseq in the map sequences

Is the path smb://UNRAID/Cinema Experience a valid path? -->Yes it is

It's possible that naming your sequence file [ Default 2D ].cvseq is illegal with unRAID, or it could continue to be a permissions issue. --> Dont have that file

I can't install this. Everytime I try, I get a dependencies not met error. It seems to be because "beautifulsoup" is not installing, but I don't know what that is. I can't find it to install manually either.

Ok I was working on the .cvaction. I can get it to run but I need to be able to run a background process.
In order to do so I run the following:
start /B "startmovie" "c:\Batch\startmovie.cmd"

This works in windows if I double clickthe command file, but when I run in cinemavision I get an error that it cannot find the file and it show the file path as c:\\Batch\\startmovie.cmd

It is adding additional \
Is this a bug or is something I am doing?

I can run the command without the start /B but then Kodi gets pushed to the background and the commandline pops up.

Looking for info where I should add my Short Films videos. Also looks like countdown needed to be added? Guess right before Feature?

You can add them where ever you like. CV allows you to customize the order of any module so your countdown can come right before the feature, or before the audio bumpers, or at the very beginning. It all depends on what you want to see.
