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

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

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

For the initial release of the trivia metadata I'd like for you to test the basic scoring functionality. Here is the trivia folder to be installed in your PreShow trivia content folder. The trivia testing pack includes the following: Rating G.jpg PG-13.jpg PG.jpg R.jpg Decade 1950s.jpg 1960s.jpg 1970s.jpg 1980s.jpg 1990s.jpg 2000s.jpg 2010s.jpg 2020s.jpg Genres Action.jpg Adventure.jpg Animation.jpg Comedy.jpg Crime.jpg Documentary.jpg Drama.jpg Family.jpg Fantasy.jpg Histor
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
Touring productions
Multi-server installations
Instead of simply moving the PreShow project folder and relinking a single base directory, we have to manually update or recreate paths due to the absolute references.
Requested Feature
It would be extremely helpful if PreShow could support relative file paths for media content.
For example:
When setting a content directory in PreShow, the software would treat that folder as the base path.
All media within the sequence would then be referenced relative to that base folder, rather than to an absolute system location.
When moving the project to a new machine, we would only need to update the base content directory once.
Benefits
Improved portability between systems
Easier deployment to media servers
Cleaner project structure
Reduced setup time for touring or distributed environments
Fewer broken media links
This enhancement would significantly streamline workflow and reduce errors when moving projects between machines.
Thank you for considering this request.
