No it isn’t the skin as well. I used Kodi default skin now. I can see loading/busy icon between the videos. It’s strange. On my shield I did not have any of these issues. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I have disabled “allow skipping” in the settings now and so far it looks like it is working fine now 👍

Could it be the Skin? Using Aeon Nox. I also had the feeling that, between each video PSE also tries to play something else!? Maybe some “loading or working” info? https://preshowexperience.com/forums/topic/441-skins-for-preshow-experience/#comment-698

Seems I am not alone: https://preshowexperience.com/forums/topic/1588-having-trouble/

And one extra info. I dropped external Player and just used Kodi internal Player. It’s only happening to the internal Player!

Hi, I played around today again but even with starting with a brand new installation and sequence from scratch it’s still happening. I also have resetted all the settings it’s not related to a specific Video. It can happen with a trailer or a commercial video. Sometimes it happens once in a sequence, sometimes it does happen multiple times. It also doesn’t matter if I disable the actions I am using. And it’s also happening if I put the content directory locally on drive C: So I am out of ideas to be honest. Do you have any suggestions? If not, I thank you guess I need to drop PSE :( Thanks Christian

Have you rescanned your content after adding/updating the trivia? In your trivia module settings is the "Trivia select" set to Default? Please share a log and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on. To share a log, close out of Kodi and then reopen it. Open Preshow and preview your Trivia module in the sequence editor. Then go into the PreShow settings and scroll down in the general tab until you see "paste my kodi.log to pastebin." Click that and then click "current." Next, click Show QR code and use your phone to get the link to the pastebin page. You can either share that in this thread or send me a direct message through the site with it.

Trivia not showing on PSE - plays intro then outro videos but skips the images of the Trivia. I downloaded the different packs from PSE site. I made sure that the packs are under the Trivia folder. I noticed that the file naming is not the same between each pack. I tried different packs and none worked. I then changed the naming to follow the instructions Filename requirements Question images must end with _q. Answer images must end with _a. Clue images must end with _c(#1-9). Fact images can't end with q, a, or _c#. And that did not work either. What can I try next? Thanks

Share a log and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on. To share a log, close out of Kodi and then reopen it. Open Preshow and try to save and open a sequence. Then go into the PreShow settings and scroll down in the general tab until you see "paste my kodi.log to pastebin." Click that and then click "current."

@Matt Yes, I have set it to an smb path, it installed all the folders correctly and does not argue about saving, it just does it only has not actually saved anything. I tried another folder which is write protected and it then argued.

Have you set your content path in the settings and is it writeable? It is the 1st thing in the settings, as seen in the image below.

Hi all, as the title says really. I try and save and nothing happens, when I check the file list it's only got the defaults listed and if I load them it goes back to what it was. I have tried save as but get the same issue, nothing seems to save anywhere? Can I specify a directory, do I need to give some permissions somewhere?

I had these "back in the day", dont know what happened to them, probably got lost in my DVD to Blu-Ray upgrade. Thanks for posting it!

Usualy, I am using madVR with MPC-HC as external player launching Files from KODI. If PreshowExperience is used, than KODI is using internal player as configured in playercorefactory.xml in userdata folder. Dont know if this might play any role?

I've tested this on Windows 11 (I don't have anything with Windows 10) a few times and haven't encountered any issues with playback. No one in the Discord channel is reporting these issues, so my best guess is it is computer specific. I'll post back if I get any new suggestions.

Very cool, and nice work by tiben20. Let us know how it works.

Looks like Team-XBMC Developer tbiden20 is spearheading an upcoming Kodi release for Windows that will once again include DSPlayer (allows using madvr directly in Kodi) to be followed later with additional support for libplacebo. This is great news for those who don't want to contend with having to use external players for Kodi and the loss of resume functionality. Furthermore, one additional feature was just added that will benefit users of PreShow Experience directly, especially projector owners. See below for details. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=223175&pid=3231774#pid3231774

@suchmich1983 There are some errors for jellyfin and a random youtube one, but I'm not seeing an exact cause from the logs. I'll try to set up a windows box to test and will respond back with any findings.

Hi, many thanks for reverting back. I tried disabling DXVA but the issue still happens. Please find a debug log attached. Sorry for sending a ZIP Archive, but pastebin doesnt seem to allow more than 512KB. The problem happened when the TRON Ares Trailer started. It started for a second or two and than was skipped to the next trailer (Fantastic Four). Hope this helps a little bit. Let me know if I can do more! REgardskodi.zip

Awesome. Glad that you figured it out.

I've been travelling for work and just got home yesterday, so I haven't had any time to look into this. The previous log didn't show any errors related to PreShow. The only thing the log gives is: warning <general>: CRendererHQ::CheckVideoParameters: chosen scaling method 1 is not supported by renderer warning <general>: CVideoPlayerVideo::OutputPicture - timeout waiting for buffer I'm not saying that is what is causing the issue, just that they are the only clues that we currently have. I read a few posts about DXVA causing a similar issue. Here's a link to 1 of the posts.

Hi, any News regarding this? I seem to have the same issue. Features are skipping randomly no matter which content is played. SDR, HDR etc can happen with any content. I am using HTPC on Windows 10 with latest Kodi 21.2 version. Anything I can share to help fixing this? Thanks 🙏

FIXED! It seemed like the Kodi App had all permissions (4 out of 4), but opening up "Storage" revealed it only had Read permission. Completely my own mistake. Hopefully, @JustRob and others might find this helpful.

The feature issue keeps recurring from time to time. Log - https://pastebin.com/FX19pKG8

thank you very kindly Is there Fury trailer in Dolby digital plus (eac3) with dolby atmos available? Or only in Dolby True HD?

I have sent the entire log as a message
