Question for @OTA and @NightWatcherTheater. After scraping all movies in my library to store the nfo and fanart in the movie's directory I then downloaded a custom movie poster for a few titles (didn't like any of the options available in TMM). Once completed, I went to Kodi and scraped all movies using local info only. Most titles displayed everything correctly -- posters, fanart, clearlogo -- but Kodi did not display some of the custom movie posters that I downloaded and told TMM to use. The filenames for the posters are perfectly fine in the movie folder's directory (movie_name-poster.jpg) and I can manually select the custom poster after browsing to the Item Folder. Have you come across this issue? (Note: This only seems to be affecting Kodi installed on my Firestick 4K, not my nVidia Shield Pro). Figured it out: The Firestick is accessing my media server via FTP (faster) whereas the ethernet-connected nVidia Shield Pro is using the SMB server. This is an odd bug, I'll notify the Kodi developers.

I think they should. I'll reach out to meyer64 to see if he can update his site/app to note that for Kodi 20 or later to use PSE.

Christmas and Halloween for sure.

Do either one of these also download a preferred poster and fanart for each title and save it to the movie's folder? I like to only use actual movie posters with titles, tag lines, actor names, etc.

Rapier is a popular skin and one I use for all my devices.

Ivipid also has a few. https://ivipid.com/

I use it to dim Philips Hue lights before trivia, dim further before trailers, turn off before the main feature and turn on once the movie ends.

Automatically Turn Lights On Once End Credits Begin View feature request Would there be a way to add an action file that turns the home theater lights on once the end credits begin to roll, perhaps either by running an action file once the final chapter begins? Or perhaps, if a specific text file exists in the title's source directory (eg. lights-on.pse) containing nothing but a user-defined timestamp, at which point an action file to turn the lights on is then run? This would be helpful for titles that have no chapter markers or the desired time to turn the lights on it to wait until after a mid-credit scene.

Select Specific Trivia Folders For Sequence View feature request It would be great if a future release had the ability to select a specific folder(s) for a sequence. For example, if using a sequence geared toward the horror genre we would select folder(s) that contain trivia about horror movies.

Here are two that I use for Halloween / Thriller / Horror genre titles in my KODI library for movie trailers and the feature presentation.

Let's use this thread to share examples of customized intros and outros you've had created for your home theaters. Please include details such as what service you used to have it created. Let the inspiration begin! Here are two that I use for most titles in my KODI library. The first is a movie trailers intro that plays immediately following the trivia, and the second is for the main feature once the trailers have completed.
