    Hi all I've installed this on my Shield with Kodi and configured everything to the guides. But I don't see any mention as to how I start this? I was hoping for a menu item when long pressing on a movie or it even starts automatically when I start the movie, but nothing so far. What do I need to do? Thanks

    I recently looked into CinemaVision and couldn't get it to work. I was just about to post about it when I saw that PreShow had become the successor to CinemaVision. I just created an account. Downloaded the zip file and uploaded it in Kodi. I'm using Kodi 20.0.0 and it says "Failed to install add-on from zip file". I am using an Nvidia Shield TV Pro (2019), does this work with this? Let me know what I can do to get this to work because I truly love this idea, I just haven't had the chance to actually give it a try.

    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?

    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…

  7. Hi everyone / Matt, is it / how is it possible to make PSE play a Theatre Intro movie endlessly until I press a key on my remote (Fast Forward or whatelse skips within the sequence)? I would like to have a still picture and a song at the beginning (opening the cinema, guests are coming) as long as it takes. Then I press a key and the preshow continues. I've tried a loop but don't know what kind of "Condition" should I mark? (Any help?) Also I've tried a Trivia with several slides of the same picture and a music file in the background. Works - but the music doesn't loop. What's the best way to have an intro endlessly with an exit? Thank you …

  8. First off - thanks for this great contribution to the kodi eco-sphere. I only have one issue. I notice that for some of the modules in my sequence (e.g. a folder of theatrical prevues) - they play at 60% volume. In every area I can change the volume--in the setup, but also in the sequence editor setting for the associated module--it is set to 100%. But upon playback I can see it's at 60%. Another module (trailers) plays as expected. And then when the film itself plays, the volume returns to where Kodi was previously set at. I tried digging right into the .seq file I exported, and also the files in addon_data but don't see where it's pulling these volume changes. Any idea…

    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>: [-…

    Hello, I speak German and try to describe my problem in English. I have Kodi 20.5 with preshow 0.30. If I take video bumpers and theater intro a file via single file, it plays all the files it contains. not the only file I want to take. I hope you can understand my problem. Thanks

  11. Hoping someone can shed light on this, Ive got a fresh Kodi 20.2 installed to Mac OS Catalina. I've downloaded the modified Estuary Skin and PSE script. Installing the modified Estuary went fine, but as soon as I attempt to install the PSE script 1.2, Kodi crashes to desktop. I've also tried the 1.1 version of the script, same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  12. 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.

  13. How would you best recommend accomplishing this? I was thinking of using python and the StartAndroidActivity() function, but I was running into errors. Has anyone successfully figured out how to launch an app? I'm basically wanting to launch VLC on sequence pause with a pseaction to emulate a commercial since we dont have the function to add markers mid-features yet. Edit: Bonus points if you know how to launch a video already playing - I'm thinking of using tasker to auto play video once VLC launches.

    Hi all, I do not know in this is the right forum but does anyone know if you can deactivate the loading sign when you jump from one sequence to the next?

    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

    *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

    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?

  18. 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.

  19. 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, I have a huge problem. When I try to open pse 0.30 the pi4 crashes. I reinstalled everything to test and installed the zip. As soon as I open the pi 4 goes off. Please help. Kodi Omega.

    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?

  22. 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

  23. Hello I need some help, i use kodi with google chromcast and I try to use preshow add on but If I start a prewiev an error message apears (see log pictures) What goes wrong? https://ibb.co/7X5G990 https://ibb.co/rvdS01J https://ibb.co/KwyGNcy

  24. 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.

  25. Hi All, I'm not sure if we are supposed to be discussing issues here or on the discord channel. For now I'll proceed here. 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.
