Does the movie you're watching have chapters? The last chapter is what triggers the credit lights.

Deprecation of HTTP support

With the RED compliance being effective per 1st August, all firmware releases being released will no longer support HTTP. The Hue API should be accessed exclusively over TLS (HTTPS) to protect personal and sensitive information even better. Guidance on implementation can be found in our application design guidance.

Have you checked out Yatse remote fir kodi has extra functionality and you can program your own functions

I use all the Bumpers sometimes depending on the Bumpers it can seem it doesn't flow well , Thats why i use a video clip of old film reel spliceing in between the Bumpers makes it feel more natural like the Theater..

I think a really good idea for Bumpers if it would be possible 🤔 if there was a way to alternate from a static image to a Bumper So you could stack them . Example Trivia Outro bumper ,Courtesy Still image, Comeing Soon Bumper ....Then next time it plays Trivia Outro Still image ,Courtesy Bumper, Comeing Soon Still .... That way we still get to enjoy all the different kinds of Bumpers but it would break up the routine and it wouldn't be so predictable..

< possibly making the still image fade out like the Trivia slides >

First off - thanks for this great contribution to the kodi eco-sphere.

I only have one issue. I notice that for some of the modules in my sequence (e.g. a folder of theatrical prevues) - they play at 60% volume. In every area I can change the volume--in the setup, but also in the sequence editor setting for the associated module--it is set to 100%. But upon playback I can see it's at 60%. Another module (trailers) plays as expected. And then when the film itself plays, the volume returns to where Kodi was previously set at.

I tried digging right into the .seq file I exported, and also the files in addon_data but don't see where it's pulling these volume changes.

Any ideas ?

Are you useing different

Are you useing different audio formats for your files ?? I have some bumpers that Kodi cant use pass-through audio and plays at full volume

Here’s how it looks after bit of tweaking. I’d like to be able to either hide or center the bottom audio / AR / resolution icons to make it looks more symmetrical but haven’t found a way to do that yet. Custom posters (eg. RoboCop) are missing all bottom icons entirely. Looks more complete when everything is populated (eg. Doctor Strange). Unfortunately development on the MoviePosterApp seems to have halted for over a year and not sure if any updates will be coming any time soon.

Just a note they don't auto populate any of the audio, aspect until you watch that movie .. If i can explain it there's not default aspect or audio stream for say Indiana Jones, it be 5.1 dolby 7.1 atmos ect. Same for aspectratio but when you watch that movie threw watching it threw your media player while the poster is running it will populate that info from the movie in your library. If its populating info from online its going to use the defaults in the menus . If your using the custom posters menu instead of adding a custom poster threw the poster cache you would have to add an info file . The custom poster section is more for art files or videos game posters . If you want say a custom RoboCop poster add a poster from scratch on the poster cache section. And if you want some of the work done for you manually add from web and just overwrite the poster . That way all the rating and info is done for you

Got it working, though in my Plugins folder it was KodiMediaInterface and not XBMCmediaInterface. I noticed the issue after realizing I suddenly had two Kodi tabs in the Settings Plugin menu.

Quick question in case you know the answer. When the MoviePosterApp first loads up the original “Coming Soon” banner appears at the top of the screen briefly (and five white stars at the bottom right). I've created my own theme and am using custom banners but for the life of me I can't figure out where that original “Coming Soon” banner and the five stars are being pulled from. I’d like to get rid of it if possible. Any ideas?

Im looking into it like i said its been awhile . I thought it loaded the default theme when it first loads ( the one in the program folder not your themes in your documents folder ) that just how the program starts on defaults then loads custom thems ect. and i do remember you have to delete the temporary cache images you basically looking at a webpage and images are stored for fast loading but can seem to find were its pulling the coming soon from im going to have to look at the code and get back to you ..

I believe so, but isn't it only required to view trailers?

Yes just the trailers , it has a new update it needs to work but if your not using it dont worry about that one ..

You need to copy over the XBMCmediaInterface folder

Its in Great Dane Cinema/MoviePoster/Plugins/

Your settings should be fine since they are saved in your temporary cache

Its been almost a year since i changed everything im pretty sure there were 4 dll files that i had changed from CinemaVision to Preshow im double checking now but i think everything was in the plugin folder .

I will use Dreamweaver to search to see if there's any more files that need transfered over

Just a side note i didn't change the cs files where it calls for the filename “moviecinemavision” so if you want to change the artwork you will have to use that filename .. I figured the creator would be updating it anyway so why change it , all i just changed the dll files that would see CinemaVision playing to Preshow so it would be functional till hopefully it gets updated

If the MoviePosterApp is already installed, what files(s) from this one should I copy and overwrite specifically in my current installation?

Its been a hot min since i worked on it Ill get you a list .. i assuming you got the updated youtube dll already?

You could do it with an action file and a Amazon echo

Can you take a screen shot of your settings?

Response from the author:
Updated the description to give you credit!

I was exploring trying to figure out how to create my own playlists but I haven't gotten very far. Any pointers so I can curate my own?

What i always did was find old streaming sites like live360 or streaming soundtracks found the station i wanted and right click inspect the html for the address. Websites with external web players are much easier. Or did you want to actually make your own stream to broadcast to others? this video might help you find the stream url ...

Halloweenized Actor Scramble (Classic Legacy)-HD

Halloweenized Actor Scramble (Classic Legacy)-HD

This is one of my HALLOWEENIZED sets I'm currently working on. Since there is not a lot of Halloween Triva content i thought i would add some Halloween decorations to the original content itself while trying not to interfere with the look or the style of the original or blocking any of the elements in the slides. This set is just an addition of some cobwebs and spider with shadowing. I am not the original creator of this content details of original files are below.      

**** Special Note ****

**** This Is now complete ****

This is not the full set only half of the set. For some unknow reason my Photoshop and InDesign both with not automate the tasks When it does it blurs the original slide. So, I'm stuck adding the content manually to each slide. And that is why I'm only halfway done with the set. As soon as i finish i will update the version hopefully later next week. 

**** Special Note ****

About Original File

This is not an original set, but a remake of the Actor Scramble set originally made by mcorcoran on the Kodi Forum. This set features a question slide with the name of an actor and the letters scrambled randomly, and an answer slide with the unscrambled name, a picture, and a brief biography of the actor. We added a few actors here and there, but this is a direct replacement for the most part. We will be doing expansion packs for this set eventually.

About the Classic Slide Pack
The Classic slide pack was designed to be dark and elegant. It was created for those of us who want a dark theme in their trivia slides, and fits well with the Kodi Aeon Nox 4 skin. The currently released look is a bit of a departure from the look of the slides that were released originally. Enhancements have been made to improve the edges, and the overall colors used.
