Hello, I recently updated my Hue Bridge to the Bridge Pro and now the lights won't work with PreShow Experience. This is all due to the Bridge Pro dropping HTTP support in favor of HTTPS with a self signed certificate (uses its' SN as the Common Name in the certificate). Basically anytime you try to access the Bridge Pro's API, it will fail SSL verification. A quick, but insecure, way to fix this would be to turn off SSL verification when making URL calls. Any way to make that an option in PreShow Experience? I have included logs below. 2026-07-23 14:44:39.202 T:14471 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): Action (HTTP) [1] URL: https://HOSTIPADDRESS/api/USERNAME/groups/7/action 2026-07-23

I'm glad that you got it resolved.

Hi all, I cannot use the addon for a while. Kodi 21.2 build. The addon starts up but when I try to edit the sequence, the buttons are not visible and I cannot do anything. I tried to import one of my old sequence and it seems like loads in but anything I try to choose there is no buttons after the bottom line. The play button gives me complete black screen and I have to kill kodi and restart it again. I have installed the addon from the repo 0.3.7.a1 on android tv. my content path is in the network NAS. use to work so I beleive it’s writable did not change anything. Does anyone know about this issue, is it fixable somehow? p.s.: oookay I have asked too fast. I created a new folder I had my existing preshow folder on my NAS and it did not work with that. With the new folder it works again, sorry guys.

Looking at the log, your sequence doesn't have a scraper set. They need to be turned on in the settings and set in the sequence. info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): scrapers: '' Here's what mine looks like: info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): scrapers: 'TMDB' Also, I did find that the IMDB scraper is broken. I am unfortunately not sure if it fixable or not.

Hey! im having the exact same problem right now, it started when my 2 trailers where just showing 1 trailer, so I looked in my settings and nothing worked, I adjust some of the settings and now it won't show anything, just a black screen and then it goes to the next sequence. I redid all the settings to default which didn't seem to work, I reinstalled the YouTube plugin and logged in. And all my scrappers are the same as the ones you haven shown above, also updated my content and check for a preshowexperience update. Ill add my pastebin here if it would help someone figure out what's wrong! https://pastebin.com/LMCV70z5

Has the scraper been disabled in settings?

Hi, how are you? Thanks for the reply. I'm using version 0.3.2.1. I tested the scrapers, but The Movie Database appears disabled and there's no way to activate it. I find it strange because it worked perfectly until last week.

What version of PreShow are you using? Have you tried the different trailer scrapers individually? Are you updating your content?

This is looking really good. Great job.

Hello, I hope you're all well... Until yesterday, my trailers in the pre-show were working normally... I have it configured to show trailers for movies I don't own, with the intention of discovering new things. But today it stopped working; it only pulls trailers for movies I have in the database, and if I disable the Kodi database option, it doesn't play any trailers at all, it just stays stuck on a black screen. Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share an updated introduction to something I’ve been building called PosterFlow. PosterFlow started as a personal home theater project. I wanted a cleaner way to manage digital poster screens without constantly juggling folders, images, slideshow tools, display windows, schedules, and manual updates. The goal was to make poster displays feel more like part of a real cinema/preshow setup instead of just a rotating image folder. PosterFlow is a Windows desktop app with an Admin console and display client for managing poster artwork, collections, schedules, and live display output. Some of the current features include: Local and network display clients Poster library scanning and collection management Push Live workflow for sending the current layout to a display Per-display personalization Built-in poster transitions Scheduling and movie-event support Optional provider/reference plugin support, including TMDB and FanartTV-style workflows Metadata plugin support for sources like NFO, Kodi, and Plex Early access activation and download delivery The idea is that you can build and manage poster collections from one place, preview how they’ll look, and then push them out to a poster screen, lobby display, or remote display client when you’re ready. I’ve also adjusted the project so it is presented more as a donation/support-based early access project rather than a traditional “buy this product” sales pitch. I’m mainly hoping to get real feedback from home theater and preshow users who run dedicated poster screens, lobby displays, or multi-monitor cinema setups. Website: https://posterflow.net For anyone from the Preshow Experience community who wants to support the project, I’m considering offering a small supporter promo code as a thank-you. Use code PRESHOW20 if you’d like to support PosterFlow during early access. I’ll be adding more walkthroughs and setup videos as the project matures, but I wanted to share it here because this community is probably one of the better fits for the kind of setup PosterFlow is meant to support. Screenshots attached below. Thanks for checking it out. Feedback, suggestions, bug reports, and feature ideas are very welcome.

Glad you got it fixed. Which version of Preshow are you on?

I've just upgraded my Kodi to the latest version 21.3 and switched from CV to PSE. If I run PSE using a sequence with Trivia in it, it will work once. Then if I run it a second time it Errors out saying "PreShow Experience Error. See the log for more information". If I "Reset content database" it usually fixes it but just re-breaks after working once. The error portion of the log is below. It seems related somehow to trivia because the issue goes away if I omit Trivia from my sequence. At first I thought it was my Trivia content itself but after experimenting with it, I don't think so. Any thoughts on how I can regain stability? Thanks in advance! Update: I might have fixed it. sequenceprocessor.py has import random defined twice. I removed the second one and it seems better now. 2026-05-08 23:17:04.243 T:14932 info <general>: Loading skin file: C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\script.preshowexperience\resources\skins\Main\1080i\script.preshowexperience-experience.xml, load type: LOAD_ON_GUI_INIT 2026-05-08 23:17:04.838 T:6988 error <general>: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<-- - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
