Have you made any changes to your movie button in the skin?

When you had the script installed and selected your movies, did you have the CE notification on the screen?
SVN V3.11.5 Transparency!
Nope No changes... nada. At this point it's total stock.

Just entering the 'Movies' button (CE "MUST' be installed or I don't get past this point) activates the CE script and I get the notification at the top of the screen to pick Q or 0. Once an occurrence of CE has run it's course.... I can browse my library normally. But if I exit and return the script is re-activated... and two features are now in settings instead of 1.

At this point, I'm just trying to exit the CE script, and re-enable XBMC normality. http://pastebin.com/kVpVtSKu CE disabled, with attempts to access movie button.

I see the problem(I didn't have the latest SVN version of Transparency!) ronie added back the icon in the info.

He uses the same setting to turn on Cinema Experience at the Home Window and in the Info screen. So the Movies button on the home window does run the script. The Notification disappears after 5 minutes on the screen, the script is still running. So when you go to the info and run click on the projector, it starts the script again.

I'll talk to him about that.. To get normal skin function, you have to turn off the Setting in Skin Settings for the menu to return.

Trust you have this issue in hand then, I didn't want to revert back to V3.11.4 of the skin because he added Weather video button. Like most using Transparency... the CE icon in the info is a good way to launch. 'Just Tested' resolved, but no CE for the moment.

If you check out the Transparency! SVN thread you will see the changes the need to be made to the DialogVideoInfo.xml file. Then turn off the Enable Cinema Experience Script in Settings>Skin Settings>Scripts

Also I fixed the bug that was changing the Feature Presentation setting to 2 movies.

Thanks... I'll try not to change the strings any more... Smile

Better if you do, that means more options are added, the script gets better and more functions are available Big Grin

I have added some integration instructions to the first page.

Integration...(these instructions still need some work)

The script has been modified to allow the script to be integrated better into XBMC. Using the following the script can be started at a specific window of the Movie Library. The movie needs to be queue into a play list for the script to start. This also allows the ability to queue up multiple movies(see Feature Presentation settings)

RunScript(script.cinema.experience,WINDOW)
[INDENT]WINDOW can be:
[INDENT]movietitles
moviegenres
movieyears
movieactors
moviedirectors
moviestudios
moviesets
moviecountries
recentlyaddedmovies
[/INDENT][/INDENT]

The script still has the ability to be run from the DialogVideoInfo.xml file using RunScript(script.cinema.experience), though this button should be hidden if the script is started using the command above. I think ronie has the best layout by adding an option to the Skin Settings that allows the user to Enable/Disable the Home Window integration.

I have also added the ability for web remotes to start specific movies using the following:

Special way to start the script from HTTP API:
Using the argument 'command<li>movie_title=' a specific movie can selected.
[INDENT]For example:
ExecBuiltIn(RunScript(script.cinema.experience,command<li>movie_title=Avatar)
will start the movie Avatar. Important note: movie name must match how movie is found in the Database

Queuing of multiple movies, separate the movies by <li>:
ExecBuiltIn(RunScript(script.cinema.experience,command<li>movie_title=Avatar<li>Titanic<li>The%20Terminator)
will queue up the movies Avatar, Titanic and The Terminator
[/INDENT]

I'm running CE 1.0.29 and everytime I try to run the script from the cimena button on my info page xbmc crashes. I will try to post a log later but wanted to see if anyone is experiencing same.

To be honest I did... I had to use the uninstall option and re download the script. But you log would help out..
1.0.30 is up(minor changes)

May this site work for german trailers?

http://www.moviemaze.de/rss/trailer.phtml
(http://www.moviemaze.de/specials/rss.phtml )

Would be great ^^

It also would be FANTASTIC to look for recomended films - if family is watching Astro Boy the trailer of Fast n Furios and Thor isn't that good Wink Wink


- jitterjames - 2011-02-27

I think it's possible to filter trailers by mpaa rating, so if you are watching something that is rated General, I don't think you'll get Fast and Furious... although it depends on how that film is rated.


- Limx - 2011-02-27

Hmmm... Mpaa rating for Astro Boy: PG
Don't know the rating for the Fast n Furious trailer, but I think higher Wink

Maybe some of my settings are not correct...

---

Other idea for german trailer is youtube Wink (like http://www.youtube.com/user/KinotrailerDE ) - but there isn't a mpaa rating.


- jitterjames - 2011-02-27

according to imdb fast n furious is rated PG-13

is that different from just PG ?

I guess sexy cars are OK as long as there are no sexy people...
