The reason I did it this way is it was much easier to make the scene in the vera do the work and have CV call for just a scene in a txt file. Below is the line I put in my file:
http://"ip address here":3480/data_request?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com
erviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=15
I've got some Vera Actions that I need to build a guide for and upload to the website. I'll work on that. Once I get it up, would you be interested in verifying it's right for me?

Not at the moment. We had thought about adding in a flag for the last chapter of the file, but some people don't have chapters set. We do plan to add in a last chapter style event that you can customize to be whatever you want. For example, you could trigger it at 45 minutes into the movie, or with 10 minutes left.

So I watched the video, looks super easy to setup and create (seriously, good work). I understand the idea of having a default sequence. But how would I create a specific sequence for a specific film? Is it just a matter of naming the sequence file the same as the movie and/or saving it in the movie directory? Your video doesn't say. EDIT: Oh I see now, you said they have to be called manually. Well, that's a bit of a bummer.
Also, I can understand a year specific trailer finder might be a stretch but I'll take the option to play trailers from movies in my library. Is it an option available in CV? Or do I need some other plugin?
Of course! Thanks for the kind words.
Currently, the default Sequences are called automatically based on whether your feature is 2D or 3D, or manually via the Queue Dialog. We did just outline a pretty huge feature that will allow you to use library data to customize your Sequences in a pretty awesome way. For example, you can set one of your default Sequences to execute when the Distributor is Walt Disney Pictures, or Marvel. When the year of the feature is 1965. When the genre is Action, or Horror. The list goes on.
I'm actually really excited about this upcoming feature.

Is it possible to design a command which could be mapped to a menu option or even a keyboard shortcut to update the CV database, not dissimilar to the Kodi library update command?
Sometimes new things get added in my CV default folders but they won't "work" in CV until I update the database. More importantly, new movies are added to my library almost daily but their trailers won't get added to the CV trailer database until I go through the CV content update via the add-on screen. If I have a menu or sub-menu button I can hit after hitting the regular Kodi library update and letting t scan that would be awesome. Even if it's just a string of code to add to the skin like is possible for update/export/ Artwork Downloader update etc.
That is a very good question. I'm sure there's a call for it, but I don't know what it is. I'll pose the question to our developer and worst case, we'll put it in the next version.

I was planning on setting up a few different sequences like for Marvel movies, christmas, animated movies etc.
Is it possible to set directory or file paths for each sequence individually, so I don't have to change the files in the content folders
every time or change the directory paths in the settings everytime?
What I plan is to choose my movie, start it with CV ( via context menu or the skin) and choose the fitting sequence without
having to alter any directory paths.
I'm not sure if this is possible already, maybe I have just missed it in the settings.
Hope somebody has any tips and can clarify.
Thanks in advance
It sure isn't. The reason being, we didn't want people to have to create tons of directories with the possibility of duplicate content thrown in those directories. We wanted to keep it in one central location, and allow people to hook to the content that way. You can, of course, create a custom directory for your Christmas Video Bumpers, then only use those directories in your Christmas Sequence for example. If you have specific Audio Format Bumpers that you want to use, you can point directly to them as well. We also plan to add the ability to specify the Trivia directory and Trailers in a future release.

Well played, Dave. While there's not currently an option for that (team Kodi would be more comfortable if we put that in the CinemaVision Service Add-on we have in the works), there will be in the release of that Service Add-on. Right now, you can manually edit Kodi to replace the default play command, but we don't recommend that since it could break some things and requires manual intervention to fix.
