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 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.

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. The addon has started showing trailers for old films, some as far back as 2015! Is there a way to only show new films or ones coming soon?

Hello, I was wondering if there's anyone how can help me find the old trivia slides and video bumpers from the old add on. Although I am a fan of how the new platform operates because it's much smoother and less buggy in my experience but, I'm not a big fan of all the trivia slides and video bumpers and I recently lost all the files i had while trying to transfer them to different storage. The ones that are on here are ok, but I really enjoyed the ones I had. anyone have any suggestions?

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, 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?

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

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

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 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. Some log exerts follow: 12:33:52.840 T:30989 info <general>: [- PreShow Experience -]: Language: en- 2023-02-04 12:33:52.840 T:30989 info <general>: […

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! …

help with sequence. I created two sequences. But when I try to take the second sequence it jumps to the first sequence every time. what could be the reason?

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

I’ve tried NFS and SMB on my synology NAS. Unfortunately, it won’t allow me to add the path on any of my external devices. So, for example - as long as I’m running PSE / Kodi on my Mac Mini - I can point directly to the folder and everything functions. If I go to any of my NVidia Shield TVs or Firecubes - no dice. I’m trying to keep my files and sequences on my NAS so all of my devices have access to them and any changes I make since I have some rather complex actions at play. Any advice? Any chance of allowing a manual input of the path? That would probably solve it on my end - if you can tell me where the path is stored - I could test it out if you like. Thanks!

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I got a Synology Nas and since I moved all my PSE stuff from my externl drives to the NAS, i cant play the trailer sequence in my PreShows anymore, but everything else works fine. I updated the directory to the NAS, PSE is able to write to it, I could choose single files for the actions and I use NFS. I thought I could work around by adding a video module via directory, but then it does not show me my network storage. Only external drives and a root-system. But if I add a video module and choose a single file, I can choose the NFS Networkstorage. Has anyone an idea what the problem could be?

Hi Matt, seems finally I was able to solve my random skipping issues like discussed here: https://preshowexperience.com/forums/topic/1913-feature-is-being-skipped/#findComment-2902 I disabled “allow skipping” in PSE settings. So far so good! Now I have the next issue. I am using external player in Kodi for windows. Kodi launches MPC-HC to play a file. Now it seems when starting the feature from PSE playback in external player stops after some seconds. Could it be that PSE does not get the current playback status from Kodi? Please find a debug log attached. Movie starts on line 5783. In line 5853 I can see: PSE: Fullscreen Video Closed. Can I get you to have a look? Ma…

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

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

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?

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

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 )
