Hi,
Kodi is currently fullfilling all my dreams for my home cinema. I'm using it as a client for my Jellyfin server, I also use some addons for Trakt scrobbling, subtitles downloading....
The only thing I'm missing would be a way to have a "cinema experience" plugin, when I'm watching with friends. What I would love would be a way to make playlists before the movie that are part pre-made, part random. Like I would love to have some video bumpers (for announcing Trailers, Short-movie, Feature movie.... I could make those videos myself). And then, it could show random trailers according to what's currently in cinemas, or what is in my library, accordingly to the rating or genre of the movie that will be showed after.
That is exactly what CinemaVision ("""new"""" version of CinemaExperience) is proposing. Sadly, CinemaVision has been completely abandonned for years and has not been updated since Kodi 17. I found some workaround to make it work a bit on Kodi Leia, but even there it was completely buggy and not really usable. Now on Matrix, it can no longer be installed (it shows an error that the dependency xbmc.python.2 is missing).
Is there a replacement ? I searched a lot about this but I didn't find anything like it. I found that strange because I guess that's something a lot of people would want for their home cinema. Do you know a replacement or a fix for CinemaVision ?
Thanks in advance for any answer. Any help is welcome.
Have a great day !
