This is why im not sure how it works. I do see dolby digital flags on my files but for some reason the script only accesses the Other directory. This is why I though it was keying off the ac3 shown in the log file not the flags.

Could you post the relavent section of the log file? I'm not an expert but I'd be happy to take a look.

What I was talking about was included in post 448 of this thread (http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=489275&postcount=448) at line 3. You will see that it shows "Audio: ac-3". I just was assuming that this is how it was determining what folder to use because the line above states the rating "MPAA: R" and I'm guessing that is how it picks the R.avi file to play.

Ok. Gotcha. Those lines seem to be displaying what the script has picked up as the relevant values to be used for deciding on which rating and audio videos to play (and perhaps genre is being collected to be used for filtering trivia?)

I assume you'll need to troubleshoot a prior step to determine where it got the ac-3 from in the first place, because this log seems to just be displaying the value for troubleshooting purposes. I'm not sure what to suggest since you've indicated the entries appear correct from within the skin (as you're seeing the correct audio flags.)

Can you examine nfo files or the library itself to see if you have "ac-3" in there somewhere for this film?

Yeah, the AC-3 is definately comming from the NFO files. But AC-3 is dolby digital. I was wondering what Dolby should be? Dolby==Dolby? DTS==DTS??

For Unrated movies and this script

is the MPAA rating, "U" or "Unrated"

thanks Big Grin

Ok, bingo. I just checked mine and the format should be "ac3" (no hyphen.)

Im getting a delay in video when it switches from trivia to the first random concession stand video. When I hit esc+esc to exit the trivia, I can hear the audio but the video doesnt start for about 5-10 seconds.

Anyone else experience this?

I'm not seeing this - but I do have one observation: I previously had to hit esc twice as you describe, but I don't any more. Perhaps you're on an older version of the script?

Edit: I will say, this sounds more like a performance issue than a problem with the script. How does the video play if you kick it off directly without involving HTE?

My video playback is fine normally. I have a GTX285 1GB. Is the newest version of the script on the SVNRepo Installer? If so, it says Im up to date.
