There are 3 ways to handle what you are asking for. I don't think I would recommend an action file for what you are asking for, unless you are playing the audio file on another device. If that is the case, I would recommend option 3 with just the image. Here are the options in order of difficulty. Option 1 - I think you can select an audio file as a file in the video module. The visuals associated with it may vary from system to system, so you may get flickering or a generic background. Option 2 - Change the audio file to a video and add it as a video module. Option 3 - Add a slideshow module and add an image, which can just be black, to a folder within your slideshow content, set your audio file as the music and set the time for the module to be just longer than your audio file.

Awesome. Glad you got it working.

The updated file is also in the alpha of the latest version in the repo.

I think the https option has been there for a long time and that they are now just removing the http option. I think there's a good chance you are correct and the update is tied to a new app version, which sends the instructions to the bridge.

The way that they implemented the https is a bit strange. They require that the security certificate be passed to the hue prior to submitting the api web request. Getting the Hue lights to work in PreShow is already difficult for most people. Even if I provide instructions for how to do it, I think it would end creating more confusion and get me into more tech support than I can handle for it. My current solution should be considered temporary, but that may not change how to proceed. The issue is that the https link gives a security error, which is what PreShow will see instead of connecting to the bridge. The current fix is to ignore that error, so that the https works like a standard http link and passes calls to the bridge. Ultimately, people will probably have to change the http to https in their action files. At some point I'll go in and see if I can add code into PreShow to handle passing the security certificate to make it easier for people. I'm not sure if that will require additional changes to your action files or not at this point.

I'm going to release a new version of PreShow, hopefully this weekend, with a solution that should take care of this issue. I have attached the updated python file that control actions with the potential fix. The file goes in your kodi addon directory in the following folder: script.preshowexperience > lib > preshowexperience Below is a guide to where the kodi folder is. The addon folders is located inside of this, so add addons/script.preshowexperience/lib/preshowexperience to find the location where the action file goes. Android Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi Flatpak ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data iOS /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi LibreELEC /storage/.kodi Linux ~/.kodi Linux (Flatpak) ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi macOS /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/Kodi Nvidia Shield (SMB) smb://<nvidiashieldurl>/internal/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi OSMC /home/osmc/.kodi tvOS /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi WebOS /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.xbmc.kodi/.kodi Windows C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi Windows Portable <Install location chosen by you>\portable_data Windows Xbox %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p\LocalCache\Roaming\Kodi\ If you don't know hot to copy the file to this location, please wait for the updated version of PreShow that will include the change. actions.py

There are a lot of things going on in your logs, with 72k lines of info. There's 1 issue that I think I've fixed in a future version, but has separate issues. Ultimately, I think I am going to create a separate version of PreShow with the bug fixes and without the metadata and then another version moving forward with the metadata. Your trivia has a lot of issues with it in the logs. There are some folders that aren't scanning correctly. I'm not sure what the issue is with it at this point though. I'll look into this further when my work lets up and I get more time, and will respond back when I have a new version.

I need to correct my statement about the YT trailers. There used to be a setting for "Ignore YouTube trailers" that was commented out at some point. I need to test it, but will add it back in an upcoming version of PreShow. I am also going to revise the setting text for Kodi trailers to be "Kodi Database (YouTube or Local)."

I get how the wording is confusion in your case. I added in the (YouTube) because for the majority of people that use kodi, their only option will be to stream YT videos since they won't have local trailers with their movies. It was something that came up a lot. You are the 1st person that I've talked to in a long time that has used local trailers with their movie files. This is a waste of storage space, but an option for you would be to copy your trailers into the PreShow's trailer folder and set that as your content. It would quickly fix the issue so that you are only getting your movies and no YT, but obviously doubles the space. I'll look into it more after I get through the current beta development process.

PreShow should read whatever is in Kodi's database. It doesn't allow you to pick within the kodi trailers to eliminate YT trailers though, but neither did CV. My guess is that you either don't have local trailers for all of your movies or you also ahve the tmdb trailers enabled. I may add an option to only show local videos for kodi trailers.

3.4.3 has bumper metadata and scoring, which is still in beta. I should have named the version in the repo with the beta tag, but didn't. If you edit the json file in the content folder you'll get different clips with different movies. I have added code that will be in a new version of PreShow to add the random functionality back in, so that it will randomly pick from the options if there are multiple clips tied for the best option or you haven't modified the json file. I also need to modify the settings for the bumpers when I get time.

Great job troubleshooting it. Looking at the log again, I noticed that it is trying to show: /Trivia/The Dark Knight UHD/Who Said It/@eaDir/The Dark Knight - Who Said It 08_a.jpg @eaDir is Synology's metadata folder. PreShow sees the file and assumes that it is an image since it has .jpg in the filename. I have added code in the next version to ignore anything in the @eaDir.

There's something funky going on with your install. It can't find settings and shows some things that don't make sense (Triva. Either the file in the repo is messed up or there was an issue during installation /configuration. Try going back to 0.3.4.1 and the make sure your settings are correct with the content folder. Scan you content again and then try the trivia again after that.

Trivia should work. What version of PreShow are you using? I'll be happy to look at your log file and provide any suggestions I can figure out. To share a log, close out of Kodi and then reopen it. Open Preshow and preview your Trivia module in the sequence editor. 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.

You can use the Kodi Remote app as an actual remote with PreShow. It just doesn't provide you with any more functionality than an actual remote. For most situations, you should already have PreShow configured the way you want it prior to using it with a movie. If you are using a skin that has the PreShow, or cinema, button you can use the iPad remote to click that button.
