0.3.2.1 has been added to the site, which hopefully fixes this issue.

I'll look at it when I get time, after the current dev round is completed. From my perspective, if you are repeating content then you are playing something in the background and it is ok if the music stops and potentially repeats the same music. I would just put some sort of other element in the loop with it so that there more natural flow to it. For example, play the slideshow and then a random short video and then come back to the slideshow. If you want to make this work now the way you described, make copies of your slideshow images and then use bulk rename utility to renumber them. You can figure out how long you want it to be and just add enough files to process that amount of time. I use that utility a lot and really like it.

You should be able to combine it with the command module to make it loop. Let me know if you need help setting that up.

Glad you got it to work.

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.

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.

Do you use images or videos for your ratings?

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.

Excluding PreShow, what is your favorite kodi addon?

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?

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.

What type of curtains do you have?

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