The images look fine for me in an image viewer and in PreShow. Is there some way that thumbnails were added to the folder? I'm not sure what else could cause this. I'll look at a log to see if I can see anything else if you want to share one.

Awesome. Glad you figured out a way to make it work.

It isn't set up on the actual file. The sequence is prepared before the movie plays and is based off of the information that Kodi provides, so there's no way for PreShow to know what the exact ratio is based on the video unless Kodi knows that already. You can either use Tiny Media Manager to create more detailed info for your files in Kodi or allow PreShow to pull the aspect ratio from IMDB, which adds a delay to the start of the sequence.

You can create different sequences with aspect ratio as a condition. There is currently an issue with 2.2 and 2.35 aspect ratios being combined as 2.22.35 so that neither work. This has been fixed in the dev version and will be available in the next official release.

Can you post a screenshot from the file(s)? I don't think that the framerate should change the actual ratio, so I'm curious if it is mislabeled (2.39 instead of 2.4) or something else. I'm not positive about this, but I don't think Kodi tracks a file's framerate. It is something that we could get from TMM, but I don't really want to add something that requires a 3rd party app to work.

That's a skin issue that an addon can't control. To get rid of it, you will need to either use a PreShow compatible skin or edit your skin files. Here is a thread about it: Here are some skins set up for PreShow: https://preshowexperience.com/files/category/7-skins/

What are the images? Please share 1 file that doesn't look good.

@peterclonesThanks for testing that out and reporting your findings. The issue has been resolved in the development version and the fix will be in the next version of PreShow.

Movie trailers requires the YouTube addon. You should be able to install it from the link that @acid303 provided. I've had times where add-ons won't install, and then later on it will work. Not that this matters, but this instance of trailers for the movies doesn't have anything directly related to PreShow.

The filename doesn't matter. http://192.168.178.33/api/wsltUbHQbdnDhDEidaNJQg2s85Nv9OldLPE6TYeT/groups/Wand/action PUT: { "on": true } sleep://180000 http://192.168.178.33/api/wsltUbHQbdnDhDEidaNJQg2s85Nv9OldLPE6TYeT/groups/Wand/action PUT: { "on": false, "transitiontime": 500 } Use the above code in an actual movie and not the test or preview.

The code you have turns it on. http://192.168.178.33/api/wsltUbHQbdnDhDEidaNJQg2s85Nv9OldLPE6TYeT/groups/Wand/action PUT:{"on":true,"bri":100,"transitiontime":1} sleep://180000 http://192.168.178.33/api/wsltUbHQbdnDhDEidaNJQg2s85Nv9OldLPE6TYeT/groups/Wand/action PUT: { "on": false, "transitiontime": 500 } To test it, start with 1 section of code to turn it on or off and make sure that works before adding anything else. You want to make sure that the base code works in your system before adding additional elements to it.

If you want the sleep to be 3 minutes, that would be: sleep://180000 It is measured in milliseconds. Your script currently just turns off the light. I'm not sure if it is being turned on elsewhere or not. To turn it on, you'd need to add some variation of the following prior to the sleep command: http://<bridge ip address>/api/<username>/groups/<group name>/action PUT:{"on":true,"bri":100,"transitiontime":30}

The preview shortens all sleeps actions to 1 second. Your code is set for 3.5 seconds and the timestamps show the preview reduction to 1 second. Then add a blank line after the sleep code.

Okay, a late announcement - apologies, you can blame the summer holiday season. Or, if it's easier, you can just blame me as the bloke with the keyboard, that works equally well. Either way, many of you will already have noticed this, but, in case you haven't ... Team Kodi is here with the first point release of the 21.x "Omega" series. A range of bugfixes have been collected since the original release of Omega 21.0. Rather than list them all here, you can see the full changelog on Github, as usual. We always want to thank everyone who has helped us track down and fix any issues. We endeavour to minimise the issues everyone experiences, but with such a large project, and the fact everyone contributing to Kodi is a volunteer, issues and bugs are a part of life. If you happen to experience any bugs/issues, don't hesitate to reach out on the forums, or raise an issue on Github. As this is a point release, there are no major changes since the previous version, and you should be fine to install this straight over the top of any existing Kodi 21.0 installation - indeed, this will happen, and probably already has happened, automatically on many platforms. However, as for all software installations, back up your userdata beforehand if you've any doubts or have anything you can't afford to lose (and definitely do this if you're going for a major version upgrade). A list of all changes for this version can be found at GitHub. If you want to read back on the full history of v21 itself, or of previous versions, you can find the corresponding articles in the relevant blog posts. Application deployment on different platforms (notably the Microsoft Store) can vary considerably due to circumstances outside of our control, so just be patient, and the update will inevitably find its way through. Android Deployment We always do what's known as a "staged" deployment roll out for Android. So if you didn't receive the update immediately, it should have come through over the following week or so, and rollout should now be complete. View the full article

Preshow 100% plays mp4s. The issue is something else.

Share a log file and I can try to figure out what's going on. Trailers should be set to random and not ewest. The old addon would mark trailers as watched if you preview/test them, which Preshow doesn't do. So if you have it set to newest it will always show the same newest trailers in your tests. That's the expected behavior. They should get marked as watched when you show them before a feature though. What system do you use? My Mac has copied over files that PreShow doesn't know isn't an expected file (.bumer.mp4 along with bumper.mp4). I'm not sure if that's what's going on or not though.

@Bertronics I'm not sure how to control your specific switches. My recommendation would be to set them up on some sort of home automation system and then hopefully you can use one of the existing threads for help. I think home assistant can control them, and there are a couple threads about that.
