Trivia with Music crashing

SFP_Matt · February 9, 2023

I've got 3 minutes of trivia with music randomly selected from a folder playing at 75% volume. What's happening is that at the 3 minute mark, there's an audible bump in volume on the music (sometimes just for a split second, sometimes it maintains the higher volume), and trivia hangs on whatever slide it's on. I remember in testing for getting CV to work with an earlier version of Kodi, there was something similar, but I can't quite remember the circumstances. Will update as I gather more information.

Sequence runs fine without music...this does seem familiar...

Just ran through again and was able to tail logs and see what was going on.

Here's the relevant part of the log:

I'm having the same issue. Unfortunately for now I'll have to have no music, but it would be incredible if we can find a way to get this fixed.

ammonrose · February 11, 2023

I did do some testing and I changed the duration of the trivia part of the sequence. It seems that just before it's supposed to finish the music instantly increases in volume and the slide stays frozen without any progress to the next sequence being possible. So it has to do with when it's about to complete the trivia part of the sequence.

Matt · February 11, 2023

I think this has been fixed. It will be included in the next version of PSE.

JayB · April 17, 2023

Has this been fixed or anyone else also still experiencing a similar issue?

I can't seem to get the trivia playing with music. Everytime I try, the sequence simply won't run. Without any music it runs fine.

MidnightWatcher · April 18, 2023

Odd, never experienced this problem (using Kodi Nexus on a Windows 10 HTPC). Does Kodi play music fine otherwise? Music source locations are confirmed for the sequence?

Has this been fixed or anyone else also still experiencing a similar issue?

I can't seem to get the trivia playing with music. Everytime I try, the sequence simply won't run. Without any music it runs fine.

What version of PSE do you have? This was fixed in 0.1.1.

I'm on version 0.1.3.

Using Kodi Nexus on a Shield, no problems with Kodi playing music. PSE playing music just fine, except in combination with trivia...

Install the add-on Kodi Logfile Uploader. Close Kodi and restart it. Play a sequence with trivia that crashed and then use that add-on to post the logfile and share the link. I'll look at it and get back to you.

Hi Matt, thanks for looking into it.

Your music file "Awards Music Background.mp3" cannot be found. Check the location and update the sequence to point to the correct location.

What @MidnightWatcher said.

No such file or directory: 'smb://Video/Backup/PreShow Experience/Music/Awards Music Background.mp3'

Strange, I've already tried it from different locations and with different musicfiles.

Sequence is also updated. Other files in that directory can be found fine by PSE.
