Currently working out a series of videos for theater intros. Using Unreal Engine. Slow going but I hope to make one for every genre. At least I have one. I customized the Regal Cinemas 1990's roller coaster to my theater. Used some AI to change some wording in the narration and Davinci resolve to edit the text on the marque scroller. Gruelling work as unreal Engine is hard to learn. Nothing is straight forward. Everything is a task. But I hope in the end it looks great. Doing an old West town

Hello, We’ve run into a portability issue when creating sequences in PreShow Experience on a desktop or non-media-server player. Currently, PreShow stores all media references as absolute file paths tied to the original machine. This means that if we move a PreShow project folder to another server or workstation, the sequence breaks because the media paths still point to the original device location. This creates unnecessary extra steps when deploying sequences for: Short films Theatre intros

I've been working on a system that generates movie-specific content on the fly every time you launch a PreShow sequence. Instead of static slides, PSE now dynamically creates a "Tonight's Feature" title card and (optionally) 30 custom trivia slides tailored to whatever film you're about to watch. I wanted to share the approach in case others want to build on it. Here's what it looks like in practice: you press Start PreShow on "Fargo," and a few seconds later your sequence opens with a custom ti

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
Many of you will probably be aware that, since the dawn of time, each version of Kodi takes a vaguely sci-fi/fantasy/movie-themed name, in alphabetical order (Ed: no, don't ask what happens after we get to Z). This has become common practice throughout the IT industry - look at iOS, Android, Ubuntu, Intel chips, and similar: it provides a useful and friendly way to refer to a release without getting tied up in numbers and decimal points.
Anyway, over the past 13 years or so we've chewed through Atlantis, Babylon, Camelot, Dharma, Eden, Frodo, Gotham, Helix, Isengard, Jarvis, Krypton, Leia and Matrix ... and, as we branch the code for the next release, it's time to bestow a name on our next version.
We ran a thread on the forum (thank you to everyone for their suggestions), filtered them for repetition, our ability to remember how to type them, and general scandal, and then put the top community-suggested names to a Team vote.
While we've previously had very specific names, this one is perhaps a little broader in its reference.
So, is it...
Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary, non-human, and inorganic lifeforms... I give you ...
Kodi 20 "Nexus"
< muted fanfare >
Don't get too excited about a new version dropping any time soon, as 19.x "Matrix" is still fresh out of the oven. However, you now know what's coming, and, if you're inclined, you can now follow development of this specific branch.
