MPA Ratings Built into PreShow In the previous version of PreShow, rating screens relied on downloaded images or videos. Want the same rating in different colors? That meant storing separate files for each variation. PreShow 1.0 builds MPA rating cards directly into its core functionality. There’s no separate ratings pack to download, and you can choose between three built-in color styles: Blue, Green/Red, and Colorful. The screens can also explain why the feature received its rating, using the

Grab the popcorn. Dim the lights. The first teaser for the all-new PreShow Experience 1.0 has arrived. The teaser is a screen recording shown at 3× speed to provide a quick look at what the new PreShow can create. PreShow Experience has been rebuilt from the ground up with one main goal: make it easier to create and enjoy a personalized theater experience while improving the advanced capabilities longtime users want. This is more than a visual refresh. The new version introduces: A guided setup

I am going to be sharing some info on the all new PreShow Experience, as we lead up to the long awaited release of version 1.0. In this series, I'll be proving details on what's new and how things work in the new version. PreShow Experience: More Control During Playback Sometimes you want to skip one trailer. Sometimes you’re ready to leave the opening loop and move on with the evening. PreShow Experience 1.0 makes those different actions possible. The previous version relied on Kodi’s playback

Hi, is it possible to create an action with Govee or Nanoleaf? It works perfectly with Philips Hue LEDs. Or could it be done via Home Assistant?
Time flies, and we're already at the third and final day of DevCon 2024. We'll be losing people today as they head home, which will shorten events; additionally, most of the day is scheduled for the inevitable people-sitting-together-and-hacking-code later today, which will also eat into time, so this will inevitably be a short post.
Random, spontaneous, unstructured conversations about mirrors, more about release cycles, about merging. A wild conversation about a potential third-party conference in south Asia, and how any of us would physically get there anyway, given that some of our members don't fly for climate reasons (and we can't afford it anyway). Various debates about the DVB specification, EITs and embedded EPG data in different countries/formats around the planet. Much about IPTV, metadata, scrapers, servers and cloud services, a chunk on permission cleanup and retired team members, some cosmetic website changes, debates about skins and the out-of-the-box experience when installing Kodi for the first time, and general chat about all things AV-related.
After a good chunk of reminiscing about events and team members past, we ended the conference with a bit of a reflection on DevCon itself - the format, the location, accessibility, what we've done while we're here. If we're to do this again - and we certainly want to - then we need to find ways of maximising the value and minimising the cost.
So, that's it: as suitcases are already trundling into the distance, DevCon 2024 draws to a close. Thanks for following along, we hope that you've found these posts informative, and eternal thanks for continuing to support Kodi.
