  1. First I wan´t to thank for PreShow Experience. I love it, because it brings the real cinema feeling to your home. In the past I used cinemavision for years but there isn´t any more support. I use PSE with a Nvidia Shiled TV 2019. My question: Is there a chance in PSE for time delay in my action file? Here´s an example form CV: I create an action Module with: sleep:// 5000 http://192.xxx.xxx.xx/control?key=light1_on sleep:// 3000 http://192.xxx.xxx.xx/control?key=light2_on , then after 5 sec. my lights at the screen go on and after 3 more sec. the lights in the room go on.. I have e.g. also the opening of …

    *Fixed* - Issue was that there were multiple sequences set up as the default, so it was failing. I only needed one sequence for my system, so I removed the others and it is working as expected now. ---------------- I set up the addon and built out my outline. It plays fine from the editor but when I attempt to play a movie using the addon, I get an error. I have attached the log here: https://paste.kodi.tv/qarojafej

    Is anyone else having trouble with the option to store content databases in content folder? I've tried everything

    Wondering if anyone can help. Everything with my setup works fine until i get to the main feature. It will show the ratings bumper for the main feature and when that fades it just rains black. Any Idea what the problem might be? I'm running on Nvidia Shield.

    Just to highlight that the PreShow editor isn't accessible on the Nvidia Shield. It launches but non of the buttons turn blue regardless of which direction you push the controller. Same distribution works fine on Windows, so must be a shield / kodi issue?

    Hi all, when I try to watch a movie from Amazon or Netflix with PSE the sequence stops when the movie is supposed to start with a black screen. Is there any setting I need to adjust when I watch from these platforms?

    My Nvidia Shield is set to begin a screensaver when there’s no activity for more than 5 minutes. If I have Trivia play for more than 5 minutes the screensaver will activate during the trivia sequence. I can just change the Shield settings to never go to sleep or make sure it’s longer than the trivia, but just wanted to bring it up in case it’s an easy fix.

    I've got 3 minutes of trivia with music randomly selected from a folder playing at 75% volume. What's happening is that at the 3 minute mark, there's an audible bump in volume on the music (sometimes just for a split second, sometimes it maintains the higher volume), and trivia hangs on whatever slide it's on. I remember in testing for getting CV to work with an earlier version of Kodi, there was something similar, but I can't quite remember the circumstances. Will update as I gather more information. Sequence runs fine without music...this does seem familiar... Just ran through again and was able to tail logs and see what was going on. Her…

    Is anyone else having issues with the editor selection screen not letting you select Play with the arrow keys ?? You have to push down when on the Edit Sequence instead of arrowing over to the play button ( on Android )

  12. Hey guys, long time lurker and user of PSE - absolutely immense addon. But I've been having issues scraping in trailers within the Kodi database since the V3 alpha dropped (tried in both Kodi 20 and Kodi 21, same issues on both), and as a result it's broken what are pretty authentic sequences I've been building in the addon. I've attached a log to hopefully help diagnose the problem. Cheers in advance! kodi.log

    Something is not working properly when sequences are being run automatically. When I select a movie that should play a custom sequence based on a tag, it plays the default sequence. However if I manually select the same sequence it will play it properly. See video for description. I'm getting the logs as well Think I found it. Look at the picture of the logs. The sequence name in brackets are all the same. Those were all created from the default. When I do "save as" to rename it, it doesn't change the name in the brackets for some reason. Figured it out. When you select "save as" it uses the name that is in the sequence editor as the name o…

    Edit: Nearly got it. I had the wrong username. The tutorial from CV helped me out. Also forgot an ":" after the "PUT"... But the "execute action on sequence resume" from the menu still is not working. It just says: "This action is not set or not yet applied". And another issue that just appeared is that in the editor all my actions work fine, bute when i start a movie, the first action file just instantly turns off the light instead of just dimming it. Maybe someone has an idea, what the problem could be? Hi! Yesterday I got a Hue Bridge cause I wanted to get some action files in my preshow sequence, which dimm the light and stuff like tha…

    Just installed the new add-on today on an up to date 64bit install of the latest version of kodi for windows and pointed it at my old cinemavision folders and tried setting up a new sequence and it looks like itunes trailers error when attempting to play them. This is the error I get in my kodi log. TMDB trailers play as they should though so it isn't a big issue, I just assume it may trip people up if it's not just my machine having issues. Everything else works like it should too. 2023-02-17 15:45:32.949 T:8872 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): [VideoBumper] 'Trailers Intro' 2023-02-17 15:45:32.950 T:8872 info <general>: [-…

I have installed PreShow and it seems to be working well, however, it is not displaying the rating screen prior to the move. This does work fine in Cinemavision. I have tried both importing a sequence from CV and creating a new sequence in PSE. I have included some log exerts below. Please let me know what else you might need to help resolve this problem.

Good morning I've been following your tutorial for the long time I've been waiting for ex Cinemavision compatibility with my zdmc x20 pro but unfortunately it didn't work there's a problem!! could you make a little video of the tutorial for more understanding? I explain myself you say that at the beginning an action is necessary before the first interaction for me it is the '' Courtesy '' and afterwards I would like to put '' Trailers Outro '' before launching my film so my question is do I have to put back an action before ''Trailers Outro'' and after this sequence I have to put back a action ''Zidoo-EnablePlayer.pseaction'' before the movie? in short I need you to …

    Hi, First of all, thanks for this great plugin, Matt ! I am unable to get PSE getting triggered to start the sequence when I start any movies. I think, I'm doing something really stupid / doing a silly miss. I installed PSE following the guide without any issues. Configuring settings was a breeze, sequence editor is really useful. Sequences play as expected too ( in the sequence editor). Unfortunately, whenever I play a movie, I don't see PSE getting triggered.

    Any way we could have the ability to skip/ff the trivia section? Sometimes I forget to disable it depending on the audience I’m with and it’d be nice to have that ability rather than exiting, going to PreShow add on disabling trivia and going back to the movie.

    One could trick cinemavision to work with discs (Bluray / DVD) as well. I'm not quite sure how I did it, but it either worked by playing a directory using two files ("empty" with black screen & media stub for disc playback) or by using a playlist file containing the media stub file. Playback could be triggered by running a python script in the menu. If I remember correctly this did no longer work starting with Kodi 19 or at least I'm currently unable to reproduce this behaviour. I tried to recreate this, but to no avail. I also tried starting the disc directly with the PlayDisc()-command and having basically no feature. This will work when testing in the edit…

    Hello all, At first, sorry if make mistakes but i'm French 😊. I've been wanting to automatically play trailers (DTS, THX, etc.) before starting a film in KODI for a long time now, and I understand that this addon makes it possible. The films and trailers are local on my PC. However, I haven't understood how to automate this and especially how to use it when watching a film... If anyone could help me that would be great... Thanks to all

  25. Hi everyone. Beginner here. I managed to install preshow on my shield. Also installed both the modified rapier skin and the aeon knox skin. No matter what I do, with either skins, I can't get the context menu to show any options to launch a sequence from preshow experience. I tried searching around for answes, but I can't find anything adressing this issue. I am using the shield remote. Thank you in advance! Any help is much appreciated.
