Maybe this will help a bit. I tested PreShow Experience 0.3.0.a2 on my Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2017 and Kodi 21 Omega with Skin: Estuary for PreShow Experience in Kodi 21 Omega 1.0.0. I wanted to test the "Execute Action at last Chapter" function for a few films. Unfortunately, the version didn't work on the Shield and caused Kodi to freeze shortly after I activated PSE. Kodi stopped, then continued to run after 1-2 minutes and froze again, etc. The whole thing didn't run smoothly. Even actions like the curtain up were delayed. After I reinstalled version 0.2.5, everything ran like clockwork again.

Hi, first time user. A problem with initial setup. When selecting content path I get the error "Make sure the selected folder is writable and that the new folder name is valid". I'm on the latest Nvidia Shield TV Pro. External SSD and the path is within a root folder named NVIDIA_SHIELD (as can be required for some scenarios on the Shield). Tried other folders on the SSD without luck. The SSD works fine with other apps like VLC and Plex. Tried downgrading to 0.3.0. Same result. Any suggestion?

Is it possible when I start a film that I go to PSE without the PSE window opening again and having to select its opening credits. THX. One more question. Is it possible when a film shows the end credits that the Hue lamps turn on again? I can't get it. Only when the film is over do my Hue lights turn on again.

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.

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 )

Do we have official instructions on how to implement Philips Hue lights with PreShow so that they dim, shut off, and turn on at certain parts of the sequence? I want to be able to integrate this, and I've seen mentions here and there, but I just wanted to know if someone has made official instructions on how to do this. I haven't had time to actually go through the CinemaVision instructions so if they work without needing to edit, then I apologize in advance. Here are the CV instructions: Philips Hue Setup - Here Philips Hue Advanced Features - Here

Hi There, I have written a script in python to dynamically generate my pre-show content and place it in the relevant folders. In order to achieve the content generation I am using the library moviepy. Running the script from my shell works as expected but when testing the script from Kodi I get an import error no such module moviepy. My action file running this is a simple one liner: python://E:/PreShowExperience/setup_show.py Would anyone know how to resolve this import error? I would be very very grateful

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

I downloaded the “Coca-Cola Behind the scenes” slides from here and place the folder in the Slideshow folder. I installed the module and pointed to the folder. A couple things - can’t seem to change the duration - the slider moves, but the “seconds” doesn’t update. And when the sequence runs, it just skips that module. I also noticed that while editing this sequence, in red - lower right-hand corner, it says “INACTIVE” - which I don’t recall seeing previously. Any thoughts?

Is there any movement on the development of this? Would love to be able to invoke from my library view easily.

I can get trailers from TMDB but IMDB is crashing when previewing. 2024-03-16 20:54:03.760 T:23980 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): [VideoBumper] 'Theater Intro' 2024-03-16 20:54:03.761 T:23980 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): - Via source 2024-03-16 20:54:03.768 T:23980 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): [VideoBumper] 'Trailers Intro' 2024-03-16 20:54:03.769 T:23980 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): - Via source 2024-03-16 20:54:03.788 T:23980 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -] (API): [Trailer] content x 1 2024-03-16 20:54:03.818 T:23980 info <gene…

I've tested my sequence modules and they all work as expected. But when I trigger it from the context menu it fails. I've uploaded the log files to: https://paste.kodi.tv/jotivohizi Any help would be appreciated

Hello, I have several films with chapter markers and have activated the action: "dim the lights up" at the last chapter, but unfortunately it hasn't worked with any film so far. The action function during general playback with PSE works perfectly. I use a ShieldTV with Kodi Omega. Is there any way to get this function to work or do I have to set something up beforehand? Thank you in advance.

hi there, I just installed the latest preshow on Kodi 20 nexus on my Nvidia Shield. I configured a test sequence which has nothing more than a trailer and feature module. My basic wants for the addon are to just show some trailers before a movie. I set the content folder to my movie folder (because I wont be using local content for now) I selected imdb trailers and TMDB trailers When I test the sequence in the settings app it plays just fine, but when I use the content sensitive option on a movie and try to launch the preshow it starts to load but then just goes to the movie. Not sure why it is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated! …

I've been looking and I can't seem to find an area to set a clip to play before each video is played. Is this possible? And if so, where might I find this?

Hi, is it possible for a curtain to open and the Movie to start immediately in a transition?

Hi. I can't seem to get the latest version to work. I have installed the Matt Huisman Youtube for Trailers addon but I get the following error in the Kodi log: Seems a 'Quality' attribute is missing?? Any help much appreciated. Thanks

@Matt: Hi, Matt! There is a modified Confluence-Skin for Kodi 20... can you tell or show me, where you've changed it for turning off the "Busy"-indicator? Background: I'm using Xonfluence because of its possibilities to change the menues. And I would like to modify it, too (as maybe you would like to modify it quickly ;-) ?) -- Thank you so much! -- Robert

I see this feature is added to the newest version which is great because I've been switching manually between sequences with an IMAX bumper for full screen aspect ratio movies so I wanted to try out this new feature but I cannot find it anywhere. How can we set this filter?

Hi, I am still struggling with the DialogBusy loading icon. Thats why I wanted to ask explicitly, if anyone who uses a Shield could manage to make it invisible. I had no problem when Kodi was installed on a PC. Now that I use a Shield and Arctic Zephyr reloaded. I acces the shield via network connection, open "internal/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/skin.arctic.zephyr/1080i and then I edit the DialogBusy and the CustomDialogBusy files. But even if I edit it to visible>false</visible, the loading icon remains there. (This works when Kodi is installed on a PC). Has anyone an idea what I am doing wrong?

Would it be possible for PSE to scrape Kodi video sources for local trailers, instead of relying on the trailer folder in the content path? Over the years, I accumulated dozens of movie trailers with uncompressed HD audio that are saved in the corresponding movie folders, e.g.: Dune Part Two (2024) Dune Part Two (2024)-trailer Kodi automatically picks these up when I play trailers from the movie information screen. It would be awesome if I could tap into my existing collection without needing to manually copy them into the content path, also considering that doing so would double my storage requirements.

Is there a way to pick Scope/Flat bumpers and other intros based on screen ratio or aspect ratio?

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.
