The reason would be related to the use of the action files. Without PSE running that actions, such as end credits, would not take effect. I will post a feature request as you requested. Thanks

Hi, first and foremost thank you for the work are you doing to support with project. I was wondering if there is a way to have a movie resume from the Kodi resume point with PSE? Whenever I use PSE it always starts the movie from the beginning. Am I missing something? Thanks

With regards to having the proper aspect ratio in Kodi: Tiny Media Manager has a tool which will detect the actual aspect ratio of a movie and store it in the NFO file. Kodi then displays this correctly, at least with the skin I use which is Estuary Mod V2. I realize this may not work for everyone but may be a better option than having to try and scrape from IMDB. Thoughts?

A very popular skin, Estuary Mod V2, now has support for PSE enabled thanks to the skin owner _BJ1.

I believe most, if not all, trivia slides are basically jpg files. I’m not sure how you could change the language on those on the fly.

I know for sure that the YouTube add on was installed as part of the PSE install. Kodi also require the YouTube add on but only if you tell it to scrape trailers from YouTube.

I am not sure if this belong as a feature request or in PSE support. I would like to see the installation of the Youtube addon as optional. Not everyone will want to see Youtube trailers and therefore would not require this addon. PSE could be coded so that if the addon is not installed it would not look for Youtube trailers. If Youtube trailers are requested PSE could prompt for permission to install the addon.

Any thought to using Tags, PSE should be able to access these and we don't have crazy file names. Just a thought

There are other possible rating values as well that may fall into the same situation such as Approved, Not Rated, Passed. In addition, there are all of the TV ratings: TV-G, TV-PG, TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-14, TV-MA. I am sure there are probably others that I personally have not seen.

Sequence Editor looks much better and the arrows are working properly. Also, on the launch memo only the selected field is now highlighted. Makes usage much easier.

HI All, Ratings appears to be working properly. Or at least the same as in CV. There is an issue with movies which have a certification/rating of "Approved" as showing a ratings card of "Rated R". The same thing happens with CV. This seems to be for older movies. Would it make sense, be possible, to show them as "Not Rated"?

@DexDeadlyTypo, it is Ratimgs

@MattThat's what I thought. I basically copied over my entire CV directory structure on the Pre-Show Experience Files directory. All of the MPAA ratings files are mp4 and the ratings screen comes up when you do PLAY from the sequence editor menu, just not for a real movie. My Ratings settings are: Default Rating System: MPAA Rating Bumper: Video Rating style selection: Random If I try setting Rating style selection to Stye; when I try to select a style I get the error: No content found for current rating system I would have expected to see four options: MPAA Classic; MPAA Colors; MPAA Retro; MPAA Vintage.

@MattI do have ratings folders set up in the PSE content path. I use the same structure as used by Cinemavision. The directory structure is as follows: Pre-Show Experience Files Actions Audio Format Bumpers audio format bumper directories Rating Bumpers MPAA MPAA Classic MPAA Vintage There are other folders in there; this is just a few. Does PSE use the same folder names as CV?

@DexDeadly, So I tried what you suggested and had the same result, no Rating Screen. I Reset the Contest Database and Updated it. I am attaching the log from kodi. Hopefully you can find it useful preshow-kodi-log.txt

So I'm not sure if this might help or not. There is a Kodi add-on called Stinger Scene Notification. This add-on notifies you of stinger scenes in the current movie, popping up a notification when the credits roll. It uses tags to identify movies that have a stinger scene. The important part of this is that somehow it knows when the credits are starting to roll. Perhaps this can be modified/incorporated into PSE to handle turning on the lights and perhaps other functions as well.

I was going to post here originally but the description for this forum sounded like it was for general questions and not issues. Please let me know if there is anything else you need to try and resolve the issue. I’m ready to try any fix you may come up with. Thanks for bringing this back to life!

Hi All, I'm not sure if we are supposed to be discussing issues here or on the discord channel. For now I'll proceed here. I have installed PreShow and it seems to be working well, however, it is not displaying the rating screen prior to the move. This does work fine in Cinemavision. I have tried both importing a sequence from CV and creating a new sequence in PSE. I have included some log exerts below. Please let me know what else you might need to help resolve this problem.
