Noone liked it, including me and you did something that we can use it "the old way" but obvisiouly that old way is not supported anymore, right? All I want is to call the movie info panel and start my movie from there with the Cinema Experience.
The Queue Feature does not work with my wireless keyboard and not with my Harmony. I think that using the Cinema Experience should be as easy as hitting a start button. Dont you think so?
Still thankful for any other help to get it working again.
Wow....
The "oldway" starting from the Info screen went back into the script back I think 1.0.31(when people showed their confusion with the Queue Method) and has never left. Skins like Aeon MQ2, Transperency, Night(and others) have added support to having the script use the Queue feature(That's the reason for the Cinema Button on Aeon MQ2 - from Movies you use the 'Start with Cinema Experience' from Cinema you Queue the movies so they can be played in order with Cinema Experience around them)
The Problem that is happening is not the script. XBMC is having a problem streaming the trailers if a local video is placed before it in a playlist. Try removing any video's before the trailers and see if the trailers start again. Whether or not the error is coming from Apple Movie Trailers(not wanting to stream to XBMC) the script not providing the necessary work around for XBMC to stream from Apple Movie Trailers, or the is an error in XBMC(which I have submitted a ticket for) that causes lockups/hangups/crashes with local and streamed videos in the playlist.
The problem with 'hitting the Start button' the script needs to queue movie(s) in order for it to function(thats how it knows what movie you want) The mapping of keys(or buttons) is fixed from when XBMC starts, with out a provision(at the moment) for an addon to override the keys(or buttons). I would love to have it where you press the Select/Ok or even the play button to 'Start' the script, but for the moment the best I have been able is the using the built in Queuing function(Q on a keyboard, Zero on a remote, or even the Queue from the context menu.
Regarding the Queue from your keyboard or remote, something does not seem to be properly mapped(in XBMC or EventGhost(i think))
