Feature is being skipped
Share a log and I'll try to help. To share a log, close out of Kodi and then reopen it. Play a feature with Preshow. Then go into the PreShow settings and scroll down in the general tab until you see "paste my kodi.log to pastebin." Click that and then click "current." Next, click Show QR code and use your phone to get the link to the pastebin page. You can either share that in this thread or send me a direct message through the site with it.

I know I've been slow to respond to this and you've been posting things already, but I am fine with you uploading these. My only stipulation is that I don't want people uploading things that someone else is making available elsewhere. I fully support all content developers and don't want to infringe on their work. But if something is not available elsewhere and the original creator is no longer in a position to offer it online, I don't mind people sharing it here.- What do you use in your PreShow Experience?
I group my PreShows into 2 categories, short and full. For regular movie nights I just have a simple intro and trailers. I try to keep it between 5-10 minutes. For my big movie nights I do something similar to what you described. I try to think of the experience kind of like a chef. The basic PreShow is primarily a palate cleanser. I want to get people ready to leave the world behind and enjoy a movie. The full thing is a multi-course meal, where I want to take people on a journey.- Long time user, I have to scream in happiness.
Hey @Quebert . Welcome back. It's always great to hear from people that enjoy PreShow, and the versions prior to it. The conditions were developed by the person before me. An upcoming versions of PreShow will include metadata so that you can display more relevant trivia. The goal is to create the conditions at the content level instead of at the sequence level so that you can use 1 sequence for a wide variety of content. More specifically, the 1st version will look at rating and genres and deliver content that is a better match to your movie. For example, if you are watching an R rated horror movie you won't be getting Pixar trivia, and vice versa. The latest version of PreShow in the repo already includes the 1st version of metadata for video bumpers. I also have options for release year, director and cast to better refine the content, but that will be in development/testing for a long while. Thanks for your post.- Addon not working
0.3.2.1 has been added to the site, which hopefully fixes this issue.- Feature request: Slideshow Loop
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.- Feature request: Slideshow Loop
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.- Confluence-Mod for Xonfluence-Skin?
Glad you got it to work.- What do you use in your PreShow Experience?
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?- Confluence-Mod for Xonfluence-Skin?
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>- Content path - folder unwritable
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.- Addon not working
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.- Feature Ratings in PreShow
Do you use images or videos for your ratings?- What is your favorite home theater accessory?
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. - Anyone have intrest in the following?
