Couple of things:
1. OpenElec is not 100% compatible with some scripts(or vice versa).
2. Streaming trailers with the script(and XBMC) is not 100%.
3. A standard log file is not much help, needs to be a debug log
4. I do see the script failing at getting the mpaa rating from the database, and since you have the 'Limit Trailers by MPAA' turn on the script can not match any trailers(its having a problem matching trailers to a non existing MPAA rating).

If you could put XBMC into debug mode and try the script once more, then post the debug log I should have a better understand to the cause of your problem.

lallhands Wrote:The failure is that it skips the trailers and trailer Outro videos and goes straight to the feature presentation intro and countdown videos. This happens whether or not I have the Movie Theater Intro movie playing. (I have tried it with no videos playing before the trailers and get the same results.

Sometimes it does work, but usually it fails (80-90% of the time). Here are screenshots of my config running on a new ION-64 build of Openelec on a Zotac 41 with Mediastream Redux skin. Logfiles follow.

Thanks in advance!

i must be really stupid cause I am using Aeon MQ 2 and cannot find the settings for Cinema Experience anywhere/...Sad

Thanks for the quick response giftie! Sorry about not being in debug - here is the degub log

When you asy that streaming is not 100%, do you mean that I may get better results downloading the trailers to my local machine and then playing from a designated folder? This is what I was thinking of trying next as I believe it is the "Apple Movie Trailers" plugin that is failing. I am new to the XBMC community, could you recommend a tool to automate this if it will help (preferably something in an existing XBMC repository since I am limited by the Openelec build at the moment)?

Great product - and thanks again in advance!

Love this add-on. However, Apple trailers don't seem to work for me. Everything else does. I've tried streaming/download/multiple quality levels and they never play. I don't get an error or anything, they just simply never happen. I go straight from theater intro to feature presentation to film.


- lallhands - 2011-09-24

Yeah, I have found that the Apple Movie Trailer plugin is the culprit on my build. Put the trailers in a local or network folder and it works perfectly.

Hi,

CE will have its own setting, would look in the addon area, that is providing you have installed it,
The only thing you will find in Aeon MQ 2 is perhaps the play button for CE,

I tried that too, I did not see anything. I have to be doing something wrong No

In My skin "Aeon mq3" If I go to add-ons / programs the icon for CE is there and if I click on it I get the settings

There are a few ways to get to the addon's settings...

1. Go to Settings -> Addons -> Enabled Addons -> Program Addons -> Cinema Experience -> Configure
2. (Aeon MQ2) - From Home -> Programs -> Cinema Experience -> Open Context Menu(Guide on most remotes, 'C' on Keyboard, Right Click with a mouse)
3. Easiest(Aeon MQ2) - From Home -> Programs -> Click on Cinema Experience <- I think CE is one of the only addons that gives access this way.


If you're missing the Programs Tab on the Home screen, it can be turned on in skin Settings. Though you might have a tab called Games that Program Addons show up..

If you're still having problems, please post the steps you have taken...


CE not working with Aeon MQ3 - markimark - 2011-09-28

Hi Giftie,

I wish I would not have to contact you but my struggle with that plugin does not come to an end. After we have completed our last conversation it was working quite good. At that time I was using Aeon MQ2 but now I have upgrated to Eden and MQ3 and again, the CE plugin is not working properly. Do you know if it is not working within that environment in general or if something else could be wrong?

The thing is, all is showing as lined up, 1 intro video, 2 locally stored trailer but then it always goes back to the movie list, not showing the movie at all. I have tried to start with that "Queue" thing and also from the button that is inside the info panel. It is all the same.

Here is the logfile:

Hopefully you can see something and give me some help to get this finally fixed. I love the plugin, I don´t want to miss it.

Thanks in advance

Forgive the error on my part if I've missed this in the thread...if I've got the slides running for say 15 minutes in the background and we are ready to go for the rest of the 'show' is there a way to skip to the end and so avoid siting through the time remaining?

I've been unable to find how to do this, assuming of course that you can.

Thanks v much Andrew


- dave2384 - 2011-09-29

If you are using the keyboard you can hit the escape key to end the slide


- giftie - 2011-09-29

Also pressing the 'Back' key on a remote should skip to the end.


- giftie - 2011-09-29

There has been some changes to XBMC(pre-Eden) that will break the script. I have not yet had the time to fix and test the script out.

Giftie,

What version of XBMC/CE (windows 7) should I use to avoid bugs and issues with trail streaming?
