This setup sounds like a lot of fun. The upcoming versions of PreShow are basically a way to do this exact thing with only 1 sequence. What are you doing to show trailers related to the year of your movie? -
To suppress the busy dialog when PreShow Experience is running, add the following to the DialogBusy.xml file: <visible>IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(script.preshowexperience.running))</visible>If it has a reference to CV in the DialogBusy.xml, change this <visible>String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(script.cinemavision.running))</visible>to this <visible>String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(script.preshowexperience.running))</visible>

This is a Kodi/Shield issue and not directly related to PreShow, so there's nothing I can do within PreShow to fix this. I have my shield set to use a network drive, but will try adding an external drive to it and will report back if I can get it to work.

Hi, first time user. A problem with initial setup. When selecting content path I get the error "Make sure the selected folder is writable and that the new folder name is valid". I'm on the latest Nvidia Shield TV Pro. External SSD and the path is within a root folder named NVIDIA_SHIELD (as can be required for some scenarios on the Shield). Tried other folders on the SSD without luck. The SSD works fine with other apps like VLC and Plex. Tried downgrading to 0.3.0. Same result. Any suggestion? -

@Matt: Hi, Matt! There is a modified Confluence-Skin for Kodi 20... can you tell or show me, where you've changed it for turning off the "Busy"-indicator? Background: I'm using Xonfluence because of its possibilities to change the menues. And I would like to modify it, too (as maybe you would like to modify it quickly ;-) ?) -- Thank you so much! -- Robert -

I have made a lot of playlist based on years since 1960 to 2025. Playlist are automaticaly selected depending on the date of the movie you launch. This allow me to have preshow experience related to the year that the movie has been released. So you have trailers related to the date of the movie, and also some bumper at the same period. This allow to put the movie in his original context and it looks great to me. Preshow experience is really easily customisable, the only limit is your imagination ! I have mixed also commercials spots related to time period (1980's, 1990's, etc) and have added cartoons in the same folder. You have the surprise of having a cartoon launched or just a commercial. -
OK, that's great, thanks. I did try turning off IMDB trailer source but it still failed. Keep up the good work :) -

I've fixed that bug in the next version, which should be coming out in a couple days. Also, that bug only related to IMDB trailers. Matt Huisman's Youtube for Trailers addon only affects the YT and Kodi trailers.

Hi. I can't seem to get the latest version to work. I have installed the Matt Huisman Youtube for Trailers addon but I get the following error in the Kodi log: Seems a 'Quality' attribute is missing?? Any help much appreciated. Thanks

It's been awhile since I've used ratings. I believe the rating was a video, but thinking about it perhaps it was an image that faded in then out? 🤔 -

Do you use images or videos for your ratings?
-

Yes that's good also, though I've moved mine out of the theater and one floor above.
-
I don't use any other add-ons. PSE is all I need. :)
-
There's only 1 thing in my theater that I haven't thought about replacing, so I think that has to win by default. My favorite thing is my popcorn machine.

Some NFO files in the movie poster cache could be missing the mpaa flag. Until the next movieposterapp dev release is available that allows us to select a default logo for missing mpaa and imdb flags, these posters will not show any ratings. The workaround is to manually edit the NFO file so that instead of the mpaa flag being empty it would say something like "<mpaa>R</mpaa>" or try refreshing the cached folders in the webremote. If you're on the same local network as the movieposterapp, I believe all you need to do is open a browser like Chrome on your phone / tablet / laptop and in the url enter: http://<movieposterapp IP address>:8082/remote.html Once connected, navigate to Menu > Poster Cache > Actions and choose Refresh Selected. If the mpaa flag is in the NFO but you're still not seeing the rating displayed, double check to make sure your folder is properly named "MPAA". -
Excluding PreShow, what is your favorite kodi addon?

Hi love these, the studios are working but for some reason the ratings are not -

It worked great for me out of the box, so I'm not sure what the issue is. What system are you running kodi on? What is your internet speed on that system? I would first try lowering the quality settings and see if there is a level that it loads faster. Also, what trailers are you loading, kodi or tmdb?
-
I tried Matt Huisman’s YouTube for Trailers, and paid for the pro version. For some reason there is a long delay in showing the trailers. I've altered the display quality etc but nothing seems to change the wait time. My immediate thought was buffering, but I think it's more than that. -

Gotcha. The videos can't overlap easily. I think there's a way to do it, but it would require a lot of steps outside of Preshow and isn't something I know how to do. My recommendation to create that sort of the experience is to make a title slide or theater/feature intro and edit the curtain transition in with that so that you have that video play and fade to black and then the movie starts.
-
I probably expressed myself incorrectly. I digitally created a curtain that is transparent when opened. Now I wanted to insert the video bumper so that the film starts while the curtain opens. Unfortunately, the clip runs through and only then does the film start. -
What type of curtains do you have?
-
Hi, is it possible for a curtain to open and the Movie to start immediately in a transition?
-
The PreShow Experience addon for Kodi. It's the #1 "wow factor" when someone sees it in action for the first time -- trivia, intros, trailers, Philips Hue lighting control. It creates a very unique home theater experience.

Excluding the actual hardware for your media (screen, speakers, amps, receivers, etc.) what is your favorite thing that enhances your movie watching experience?
