It's August 2nd and I haven't added the updated python file yet as I wanted to see if the action files would now cause an error or just fail to trigger the Philips Hue lights. It's still working at the moment, so perhaps the change is being rolled out somehow. I do see an update for the Philips Hue app in the Google Play Store but I've set it up to no longer auto update (both in the Play Store and within the app itself). Maybe the new app version implements the change / updates the bridge firmware? -
Thanks Matt. Will this be a temporary fix until we figure out how to update the action files or can this be applied as a permanent fix?

I use an external player with Kodi and it works well. Since all my movies in my library are in the mkv format I have the playercorefactory.xml set up to only use the external player for mkv files. All downloaded trailers and video bumpers are mp4 (or I rename them to mp4) so Kodi's internal player will take care of those.

Looks like Team-XBMC Developer tbiden20 is spearheading an upcoming Kodi release for Windows that will once again include DSPlayer (allows using madvr directly in Kodi) to be followed later with additional support for libplacebo. This is great news for those who don't want to contend with having to use external players for Kodi and the loss of resume functionality. Furthermore, one additional feature was just added that will benefit users of PreShow Experience directly, especially projector owners. See below for details. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=223175&pid=3231774#pid3231774

Overwrite. Sometimes those may be higher resolution versions of older logos. For example, this latest update includes new Atlas Film, Lucas Arts, Focus Features and Mandalay Pictures logos.

It's been awhile since I've used ratings. I believe the rating was a video, but thinking about it perhaps it was an image that faded in then out? 🤔

Yes that's good also, though I've moved mine out of the theater and one floor above.

I don't use any other add-ons. PSE is all I need. :)

Some NFO files in the movie poster cache could be missing the mpaa flag. Until the next movieposterapp dev release is available that allows us to select a default logo for missing mpaa and imdb flags, these posters will not show any ratings. The workaround is to manually edit the NFO file so that instead of the mpaa flag being empty it would say something like "<mpaa>R</mpaa>" or try refreshing the cached folders in the webremote. If you're on the same local network as the movieposterapp, I believe all you need to do is open a browser like Chrome on your phone / tablet / laptop and in the url enter: http://<movieposterapp IP address>:8082/remote.html Once connected, navigate to Menu > Poster Cache > Actions and choose Refresh Selected. If the mpaa flag is in the NFO but you're still not seeing the rating displayed, double check to make sure your folder is properly named "MPAA".- 3 comments

The PreShow Experience addon for Kodi. It's the #1 "wow factor" when someone sees it in action for the first time -- trivia, intros, trailers, Philips Hue lighting control. It creates a very unique home theater experience.

I picked ADX because they were the best price / performance at the time. Powered with a Dayton Audio SA230 amp. Best price / performance transducer now would have to be the Dayton Audio BST-300EX Extreme. Requires a beefier amp though like the SA1000.

Favorite unique piece of hardware would have to be the 4 x ADX Maximus tactile transducers installed to the seating. You dont just hear the movie. You feel it.

My JVC X790 projector is behind the first row and just above the second row. I set it about 12 feet back from lens to screen to allow a 10-foot screen at the shortest throw to maximize brightness. If I ever need to replace it I'll likely get a JVC NZ500 and set it about 16 feet back to accommodate a 10-foot screen at the longest throw to maximize contrast (it'll be plenty bright).

I've sometimes used an audio format bumper on occasion.

A growing collection with HUNDREDS of new and improved logos and banners for the MoviePosterApp to refresh your digital movie poster with a pop of color. Logos are now also double the original resolution to look their best on 4K displays. NOTE: Since MoviePosterApp version 2.3.0.7, all logos created for the MoviePosterApp Logos v1.80 release, including colorized audio logos, new resolution logos, new and alternative aspect ratio logos and updated higher-res MPAA ratings, are now included with the MPA. If you're using the preview release of MPA v2.3.0.7 or higher, please download the "MoviePosterApp Logos v2.20 for MPA 2307+" and if using MPA 2.3.0.6 please download "MoviePosterApp Logos v2.20 for MPA 2306" instead. Simply download, unzip the file and move the unzipped folders to your theme directory found in the MoviePoster App folder (eg. Images > Themes > Midnight). Be sure to overwrite any existing files. If you come across any posters with missing studio logos, please copy the studio name exactly as found in the NFO of the poster cache directory (eg. C:\Users\Your Name\Documents\MoviePoster\Cache\Movies) and share it here or send me a PM (eg., <studio>dreamworks animation</studio>).
