Artic Zephyr Reloaded for PreShow Experience in Kodi 20 View File This is beta - it SHOULD work - i have tested and existing settings all stick. this mod also makes the PreShow action the default focus when in the Video Dialog window. even made a custom PreShow icon from the O in the PreShow logo. things i noticed. if you install the artic zephyr skin after you install PreShow Experience, PreShow might not show in the context menu. just uninstall preshow (be sure to select NO when it asks to delete the settings/files) and reinstall. it will then have the context menu. this might have been a me thing as i was tired when running te…

    Hi, pretty nice Addon!! I was also a Big Fan of Cinemavision and I do remember that there was an Option to stop adjusting refresh rate while Trailers and Bumpers were playing. Did I missed the setting somewhere? If not, is it planned to include this in a later Version? thanks and regards

    Sorry this might be a stupid question: What is the smartest way when you want to update PSE, e. g. from Version 0.1.1 to the current 0.1.3 without loosing the settings? The original installation was from unknown sources through USB, therefore the automatic update directly from the Add-On Menue does not work. Do i need to delete my previous installation of 0.1.1 and then install 0.1.3 again from USB??

    I had 1 issue getting PreShow to work in Kodi 21 Omega. It originally wanted InputStream Adaptive to play all the videos. I turned that off and everything appeared to work as expected. I'm going to looking further into this when I get time. Please post your experiences with PreShow Kodi 21 Omega here.

  12. Please let me know what video bumpers you use in your PreShow sequences. Select all the bumpers that you regularly use from the list below.

  13. Curious if it's possible to have a context menu for PSE mapped to a right-click on as kin built button so you can left-click the button to start the regular PSE sequence per the proper parameters but also be able to right-click (or another control type action equal to) that would bring up the context menu allowing you to select the sequence you'd like to run? My reasoning for this is to have the skin button run my default full PSE sequence anytime without the context menu pop-up as it's nicer and cleaner especially when hosting guests. But sometimes I'd like to run a shorts PSE sequence before a movie, something with a trailer or 2, the audio bumper and t…

    This is a pretty minor change, but there are now a few default sequences to load.

  15. Hello, I've switched from Kodi 18 + CinemaVision to Kodi 20 + PreShowExperience recently. First, thank you very much for continuing supporting/developing this great feature! During run of my sequence there's is the load status (little blue circle at the center of the screen) visible for short moments between two sequential features. It disturbs the enjyoment of the preshow... How to prevent that? I've found out that there's a file "DialogBusy.xml" related to the active skin (e. g. Aeon Nox Silvo). Line 5 of this file is currently the following: "<visible>!Window.IsVisible(startup) + String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(scrip…

  16. Good morning I'm running Zidoo x20pro and I would like to try Preshow under Omega with the Aeon MQ 8 skin, is this possible? thank you in advance for your next response Mike

  17. I have just installed the update and tried the new preview module in the sequence editor. Should it only play the current module or play the rest of the sequence? It seems to be playing from the Trivia Intro, but i have select the preview from a different module. I also have the trivia modules disabled, so I think I have found a bug.

    Do you use images or videos for your ratings?

    We frequently set up a collection of 10 to 20 slides as a pre-show before our programming for 30 or so minutes using the Slideshow module. However, we encounter the slideshow limitation: once all the slides have been displayed once, the slideshow ends, regardless of the total duration set. To achieve our desired length, we duplicate and manually number the slides, which is quite cumbersome when looking to keep the same rotation order over and over. Would it be possible to add a “loop” option to this module? This would allow the slides to restart either in alphabetical order or in a continuous random order, while keeping the background music uninterrupted. We believe this …

  21. I've been using PSE since it was uhhhh, Home Theater Experience, back before Kodi was Kodi. I used Cinema Experience, which I'm pretty sure there was 1 more after before PSE started. I used to go back and forth with the original author, and a few times with the CE author with 1 suggestion. The ability to select trivia for specific movies, so I could set up my trivia to tie in with the movies. Both said it was a good idea, and would consider it. Nothing ever came from it, so I would copy just the trivia for the movie I wanted into the trivia folder before I started XBMC. I stopped using Kodi for a chunk and came back to see you can now add conditions to your sequences. Whi…

    Hi, I am using the skin Copacetic on the latest version of Kodi. Is there a way of forcing PSE to start when ever a movie is started? If you create sub menus the option to run PSE is not there, it only works in certain menu systems. I think that the old Cinema Experience you could do this, but been a long time since I used that. Copacetic is fantastic as a dedicated cinema skin rather than a general media player such as Artic Horizon. I am not sure if this is possible or not, but I would love to do this on this particular skin, rather than having to go to information and then running it from the menu. Cheers for any help given. Regards …
