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.

Bug Report preShow Experience Version: 0.3.2.1 Module: Trivia Severity: High — potential loss of unsaved sequence changes Summary The Preview feature is very useful because it allows individual modules to be tested without having to run through the entire sequence. For most modules, pressing ESC while previewing exits the preview and returns to the Sequencer as expected. However, the Trivia module behaves differently. When Trivia is launched using Preview and ESC is pressed to exit, preShow Expe

Curious if there’s a way to program a sequence action or other method to advance to the next item based on a specific clock time. Here’s the scenario I run into: we program outdoor movies in our park, and the schedule needs to be pretty precise. We typically run a 30-minute block of trivia while people get situated, followed by a 9-minute theater intro, with the feature film starting right at 8:00 PM. That means I need to start the sequence at exactly 7:21 PM to keep everything on schedule. The

Hello, I recently updated my Hue Bridge to the Bridge Pro and now the lights won't work with PreShow Experience. This is all due to the Bridge Pro dropping HTTP support in favor of HTTPS with a self signed certificate (uses its' SN as the Common Name in the certificate). Basically anytime you try to access the Bridge Pro's API, it will fail SSL verification. A quick, but insecure, way to fix this would be to turn off SSL verification when making URL calls. Any way to make that an option in

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 process for new users
A redesigned interface
A simpler approach to building a PreShow
Improved management of local and online content
Smarter content matching based on the selected feature
Options to prepare and download content before movie night
Expanded automation capabilities
More control over trailers, bumpers, ratings, audio-format demonstrations, slideshows, music, and other presentation elements
The biggest addition is the new Infotainment module.
Infotainment creates a dynamic presentation based on the movie you are about to watch. It can combine animated movie trivia, cast challenges, obscured actors, movie scrambles, quotes, taglines, production facts, filmmaker connections, movie stills, multiple-choice questions, feature introductions, and other interactive content.
More than 20,000 new trivia entries have been developed to support it, covering movies, actors, directors, characters, franchises, and filmmaking history. The system is designed to feel like a curated show rather than a repeating slideshow.
Existing image-based trivia can still be used in the new Infotainment presentation.
The familiar building blocks of PreShow are still here, including trailers, countdowns, theater intros, courtesy messages, short films, rating cards, audio-format demonstrations, slideshows, loops, bumpers, and automations. They are now presented through a system intended to be easier to configure, maintain, and expand.
PreShow Experience 1.0 is coming soon.
Watch the teaser and let me know what you think. I'll be back in a few weeks with a narrated behind the scenes look at how I set up the PreShow.
