I'm having some weirdness trying to run Cinema Experience for the first time (on my ATV2, using the Oct 11 nightly). I installed the addon from repo, went to my movies, and clicked the Cinema button. But instead of CE starting, some sort of cast member lookup/movie lookup screen popped up, as if it was searching for a cast name in the movie I was trying to watch.

I then tried loading the 1.0.51 CE script that was posted a couple of days ago. Same thing happened. I'm using Night skin, but also it happened on cirrus extended.

Here's my XBMC log:

Strangely, after a couple of minutes, my Trivia slides did show. But then, I couldn't exit out of them! I had to -killall AppleTV to exit. So all in all, not quite what was supposed to happen

Not sure if there's anything else needed to troubleshoot this? If there is, I'll gladly provide it if it'll help.

I haven't noticed this 'problem' in the skins I mostly test with(Transparency!, Aeon Nox, Aeon MQ3) So I tested Night(from the SVN) and Cirrus Extended(v2) and both of these do exactly as you say. I think there has been a change in XBMC that now uses the ID that those skins use for the Cinema Button(both happen to be 13) I tested also by changing the ID to another number and the weird problem disappeared..(I tried changing the 13 to 41)

I posted a question in the Skin Development thread about this, hoe to have an answer for you.

The time it takes CE to set up the slideshow depends on the number of slides available and the amount of music being used. To stop the slideshow all you need to do is press the 'back' button. CE will then build the video playlist containing the requested videos(this takes about 15-20 secs, so the slideshow will continue until this is complete)

giftie Wrote:It's not Cinema Experience that needs to be updated, but the skins. I have notified both skin developers of the issue.

giftie Wrote:Thank for the bug report... I found the fault. The script does find the separate genres but it fails to turn it into the form the script uses.

For instance:
If the .nfo file follows the multiple genre tag format, the script adds them together. So, something with the following tags:

Code:

<genre>Comedy</genre>
<genre>Romance</genre>

becomes-> ComedyRomance which the script does not recognize, it needs to be -> Comedy / Romance. I have fixed this and I am testing it(should work with out any problems)

The problem is that the version that the script is sitting at now(it will be 1.0.52 after this fix) might not work on your pre-Dharma version of XBMC, I don't think any one has tested it out on a Dharma system yet.

canadave Wrote:Sorry, I'm still confused--with this August change to the Info dialog in XBMC, are the other skins (other than reFocus and Night) supposed to work well with CE?

• Aeon MQ 3 version 0.1.4
  
• Aeon Nox version 131883941(SVN version through Passion XBMC)
  
• Transparency! version 4.0.3
  
• XeeBo version 2.4.4
  
• Convergence version 3.0.7
  

• Night - due to built-in function - Show all movies by the director of the selected movie (added after dharma) (uses ID 13 for the button)
  
• Cirrius Extended V2 - due to built-in function - Show all movies by the director of the selected movie (added after dharma) (uses ID 13 for the button)
  
• reFocus - due to built-in function - Play video (it uses ID 8 for the button)
