thank you for the fast reply!
Im using mediastream and I edited the file. I hope there was so specific place to paste in the text you provided. I saved the file but I cant seem to find where it added that button. Even in the context menu I dont see a "theater" button.
also.... When I download the plugin, It installs it to my local folder rather then the xbmc folder under program files.
it puts it in C:\users\HTPC\AppData\Roaming\XBMC

I love this plugin. I got it working exactly how I want it to, except for one thing. I set it to pull trailers based on the MPAA rating and genre, but it doesn't do it. I am using this mostly for my kids so I would like it to only show kid friendly trailers but it doesn't seem to be doing this. Saw VI is definitely not a kids movie! lol. Does anyone else have the same issue or know a tweak to get it working correctly?

Code:
<control type="button" id="11">
<description>Play Trailer</description>
<include>ButtonInfoDialogsCommonValues</include>
<label>20410</label>
<visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Trailer)</visible>
</control>
[b] <control type="button" id="13">
<description>Home Theater Experience</description>
<include>ButtonInfoDialogsCommonValues</include>
<label>Theater</label>
<onclick>Dialog.Close(MovieInformation)</onclick>
<onclick>Playlist.Clear</onclick>
<onclick>Action(Queue,25)</onclick>
<onclick>RunScript(special://home/scripts/Home Theater Experience/default.py)</onclick>
</control>[/b]
</control>

</control>
<control type="image">
<posx>26r</posx>

<texture flipx="true">HomeBlade.png</texture>
</control>
<include>Clock</include>
</controls>
</window>Are you sure you're looking at the video info screen (by pressing "i" over a movie)? The button won't appear in the context menu.

I noticed this as well, could it be that the script considers the rating of the trailer itself, and not the movie being previewed? I ended up just downloading a dozen or so family / kid appropriate trailers and pointed the script to the local copies, since I was also seeing loading / buffering screens with the online trailers.

I still dont get the button when ever I click "i"
I get...
play, cast, refresh, thumb, and fanart.
also when i pasted in the text... I noticed I dont have a "play trailer" section. could this be the problem? if my skin not letting me use this feature? I spent the $7 for the slides.

I think you are right. It must be using the rating of the preview itself. I'll have to work at configuring it to play local trailers. Maybe I can link a folder to apple trailers and HTE so that I can screen them in apple trailers but have them download the ones I feel are appropriate to HTE.

so mccorkled you want a refund?
about the rating, post what your ratings are exactly in your xbmc db. it may not be calculating them correctly.

I fired up MediaStream and I see the control but it's not an active button...

Unfortunately I don't know enough about skinning to figure out how to add it properly, but as you can see below the same code added in Confluence adds the button nicely...

However, there's something going on with the Trailer button in Confluence - I think if you don't have any trailers for the movie, the button doesn't show up (<visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Trailer)</visible>). If you *do* have a trailer, it will probably screw up how the Theater button is presented (I think the trailer button goes there.) I don't use trailers for my library so this works for me.
Maybe give Confluence a shot and see if you like it?
edit: and on the topic of refunds, big thanks to Nuka1195 for this script. I'm constantly amazed at the functionality XBMC provides for no cost whatsoever, thanks to so many talented contributors giving their time. It's pretty astounding, really.

Lovely!

A refund? no. I didnt mean to sound ungrateful for anything if thats how it seemed. Im excited to get this working! XBMC is my favorite hobby
always something fun to install and set up. Im going to go ahead and try that skin that you are using. Is there a list of all other skins its currently working for?
- mccorkled - 2009-12-02 21:39
I got it working! thanks!!!
I didnt get my trivia slides yet but....
does the trivia play BEFORE the trailers start?
