I’ve completely uninstalled PreShow Experience and reinstalled. I’ve made sure the Youtube plugin is installed. I’ve enabled all sources and ran content updates several times. I start with a new blank sequence, put in a trailers module - set it to 3 trailers. Do a “preview” - it turns the screen black and then returns. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the Youtube plugin as well. I’m out of ideas unless someone can tell me that this is just broken for now?

Deprecation of HTTP support With the RED compliance being effective per 1st August, all firmware releases being released will no longer support HTTP. The Hue API should be accessed exclusively over TLS (HTTPS) to protect personal and sensitive information even better. Guidance on implementation can be found in our application design guidance.

Hi, I have local trailers for almost every movie, and do not have the YouTube add-on installed because historically for me is stays broken a lot. So I do not want that to be part of the PreShow Experience. I want PreShow to use only the trailers scraped into the KODI database. Yet when I use PreShow, I get the message that the YouTube add-on is required during the trailer sequence. Is there no way to prevent this? This happens with versions 3.41. and 3.4.3. Never had this issue with CV before, s

Hello, I noticed that PreShow will always play the same theater intro video, even tho I have the sequence set to play random, and I have 3 to pick from. Using version 3.4.3

Day Three dawns. We have a compressed schedule today before we break for individual workshops/breakouts - plus some people will be leaving us early in order to get home - so let's get to work.
neo1973 opened the day with a discussion about merge policies, specifically around reviews and self-merging your own PRs. There's a reality that, when you've been deep in a certain area of the code, you may well be the subject matter expert - for the moment, at least - so there's nobody to necessarily critique the what of your code. As such, there's an element of "publish and be damned". There is, though, also the how: does the code itself stand up to inspection? We already use tools to sanity check the code, check for null pointers and undestroyed variables, and similar, so the quality side is already covered to a certain extent. That said, AI tools are falling into place and improving quickly, so there's more that we can do here, and more to investigate.
Onwards into a conversation initiated by yol around some of our hosted infrastructure and some specific issues we have there. That in turn led into a more general conversation around hardware, usage, I/O and capacity, and similar: important to us, but probably less so to the general public.
Next up, chewitt with an update on LibreELEC: user numbers, current platform trends and future plans, dependency/kernel versioning, CI/build, upstreaming fixes, drivers, chipsets, hosting, finances, collaborations, architecture. For what should be obvious reasons, samnazarko weighed in where appropriate with an OSMC perspective.
Finally, lrusak gave an update on a long-desired feature: headless Kodi. It basically exists, it works, but it needs a good chunk of tidying up to make 100% certain that nothing tries to create or access a GUI on a non-existent window manager (e.g. popping up a notification toast). There are headless implementations - such as Docker images - already available from other sources, so this is really just about bringing this into the official release.
And, with that, the main conference comes to an end. Time to huddle together, fire up laptops, and do some coding.
So, that's it for DevCon 2025. Genuine thanks to Tirana for the hospitality, and to everyone who's helped to look after us this year - and thanks to you for reading.
Until the next time ... lamtumirë, dhe faleminderit.
