First off - thanks for this great contribution to the kodi eco-sphere.

I only have one issue. I notice that for some of the modules in my sequence (e.g. a folder of theatrical prevues) - they play at 60% volume. In every area I can change the volume--in the setup, but also in the sequence editor setting for the associated module--it is set to 100%. But upon playback I can see it's at 60%. Another module (trailers) plays as expected. And then when the film itself plays, the volume returns to where Kodi was previously set at.

I tried digging right into the .seq file I exported, and also the files in addon_data but don't see where it's pulling these volume changes.

Any ideas ?

Are you useing different audio formats for your files ?? I have some bumpers that Kodi cant use pass-through audio and plays at full volume

Thanks a lot for the response !

They're all .mp4 and should be similar. When I say they are playing at 60 volume in kodi, I mean that while the bumper is playing, I can press + in Kodi to check the volume, and all of those bumpers are indeed playing only at 60 volume even though I have not set that level anywhere in this add-on. As a last troubleshooting step I might just re-do my setup - will only take 10 minutes - and we'll see if that solves things.

It appears that nuking everything and re-installing and re-setting up the sequence has solved the phantom volume level changes and having left all at their default (100) seems to have solved things.

And now, of course, I have another problem. If I play through my sequence in the sequence editor it works beautifully. But when I then go to play from the context menu in the library view (for films), it skips trailers and starts asking about adding the youtube addon. Note: my sequence is ONLY using folders, not scraping anything. I really don't understand why the preview in the sequence editor would provide different results then the actual use-case. But I'd love an explanation if anyone knows. Thanks !

Disable tmdb and kodi trailers in your settings.

When you play a movie, is PreShow loading the sequence you just edited?
