The functionality has completed been rewritten. I've tested it a lot on my Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 using Kodi 21 Omega with Estuary and haven't seen any significant issues.

Features are your movies. Open the context menu on a movie that's a local file and click PreShow Experience in order to launch the movie with the PreShow. It doesn't work with content from other add-ons. Please let me know if you need more help.

I think this post has the skin details:

Sorry for the confusion. The issue has been resolved in the upcoming version. 0.2.5 still has that issue.

What version of PreShow are you using? The "working" pop-up is skin related. You can download 1 of the skins in the downloads section to remove that.

0.3 is the next version. It's still in testing, but that issue should have been resolved. https://preshowexperience.com/files/file/169-preshow-experience-dev-build/

I just looked at the file listed here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371494 and it included PreShow already: https://holybid.com/kodi/lattsrepo/master/nexus/skin.aeonmq8.nexus.mod/skin.aeonmq8.nexus.mod-1.0.1.7.zip There's nothing in it specific about ZDMC, but I don't know if that's necessary or not.

@FlexThat was a mislabeled file. Nature's Fury is for Dolby Atmos and is available here: Thanks for catching the issue.

I have continued to work on this and have added a new setting for Kodi's listed aspect ratio. My issue with this setting, and the reason that I didn't go this route originally, is that I don't know if it is correct. Unless you use TMM as @hslansky suggested or have your videos cropped and recompressed like @Epitaph's list, they will all be 1.78 : 1 as that's what a full frame blu-ray with black bars is. I have made the assumption that if you use nfo files, Kodi will have already scraped the data from them and we can just use that. So there is now a sub-setting for this in PreShow to select how you want it handles. I'm not sure if that's the right wording, but Kodi has a character limit on the settings, and to explain it properly requires scrolling. And then I've modified the IMDB selection option to give the user some more control. Originally I tried to make it so that it would pick the most likely option for movies that list multiple options. That worked for the majority of cases, but not all. There are some that aren't labelled correctly, and then there's always the multi-aspect movies. Now you'll get a pop-up so that you can select which one you want.

Thanks for the suggestion @hslansky & @Epitaph. My goal is to always make a solution that works without the need for other applications. I'll explore other options in the future and already have plans to do some work with nfo files, which may offer better options for a few processes.

@FlexMake sure you restart kodi after installing PreShow. The context menu doesn't load until after a restart. Or install a skin that supports PreShow. Here's a link to the skins that I've worked on to make PreShow compatible: https://preshowexperience.com/files/category/7-skins/ The skin in the images is Aeon Nox: Silvo

I think that the file you want to edit is DialogNotification.xml.

Are you trying to show an image for the intermission with GUI.ShowNotification? If so, I think that the only image in the notification is the icon.

I haven't tested youtube links, but will look into it.

The kodi trailer issue was reported in the discord ane has been fixed. I am testing a couple other things that have been reported and will post an update for it as soon as I can.

The code that you want is something along the lines of: sleep://3600000 http://username:password@ip#:8080/jsonrpc {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0} sleep://600000 http://username:password@ip#:8080/jsonrpc {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.ExecuteAction","params":{"action":"playpause"},"id":0} Add other functions a you want. Make sure you have your system set up to allow this in settings > services > control.
