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?

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?

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.

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…

Hello, I am currently trying PreShow Experience and wanted to know if, and if so how, I can set a pause/delay between elements? Saying I have commercials playing followed by trailer, I would want a few seconds break between the two. Is that possible? Thanks!

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?

Hi, sorry if this has been answered before, I've been looking around but no success. Is there a way to automatically launch the default preshow sequence when selecting a movie in any skin, without having to go through a context menu? I'm currently using Arctic Zephyr Reloaded and right now I can launch it from the context menu, but I'd like it to be as straightforward as possible. Thanks.

Thank you so much for the Confluence skin in Kodi 21! As I've changed from 20 to 21, the old Confluence didn't work any more... One thing left: Maybe I'm to silly... What's my fault, when I can't set up my background image? I'm using XBMC 21 on my Zidoo instead of pure Kodi 21. When I go to "-Configure skin..." > "Background" > "-Background path:" I do see External storage and my HDD connected to my Zidoo. But the only path in which I can switch is "Root filesystem". Of course, my background image I've put to the HDD. It's not accessible from there... How can I get to my picture? Or: How can I put the picture somewhere into the Root filesystem? I don't find it us…

Forgive me if this is a stupid question I am coming from cinemavision. What is the difference between content in Sponsors directory compared to Commercials . Also what type of content goes in PreShow directory.

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 fi…

Hi guys, new to the program, I'm kind of stumbling at the first hurdle here so I'm hoping someone can help. I've got my content folders for bumpers/trailers etc but I'm a bit lost to either how I'm meant to add my videos to features or if I'm meant to set up a content path for features etc. Hoping someone can help.

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://HOSTIPADDR…

It's been a while since I selected Trailers in the Movie, Information (context menu) option. Today when selecting the Trailer icon, I got a dialog to Add-on YouTube. Then the Installation fails. Tried from the repository, and it failed too. How do I view trailers via this icon in the Information? I can view Trailers with IMDB Add-on, but I like the convenience when selecting the Movie, then using Information from the context menu (simple from my remote control).

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.

Hi, first and foremost thank you for the work are you doing to support with project. I was wondering if there is a way to have a movie resume from the Kodi resume point with PSE? Whenever I use PSE it always starts the movie from the beginning. Am I missing something? Thanks
