no clue Wrote:When my intros are playing before the movie, I am getting an audio lag on each one. It generally starts the audio after about 2-3 seconds of the video. Not very good considering many of the clips are only 10-20 seconds anyway. Anything I can change to fix this?

giftie Wrote:What type of audio system(HDMI, Digital or Analog) are you using? On my system, I'm using HDMI, and I have the same delay. It's XBMC changing audio methods and everything resyncing. Not much I can do to the script to fix the problem, sorry(I wish I could..)

... I notice while the script is starting and XBMC returns back to the movie selection screen, the selection jumps down one movie. Not that it's a big deal-just thought I'd mention it in case I'm the only one this happens to.

One suggestion:

When the "Trailer Play Mode" is set to Download, could the downloads happen at the very start of the script, before the trivia starts? Or even in the background while the trivia is playing (if trivia is enabled)? I know that means a delay before things get under way, but my Internet connection isn't the greatest, and I hate waiting for stuff to load at the start of each clip (my quality setting is 480p)... would rather it all load at the beginning. Maybe a dialog box with a percentage bar as each trailer loads could be displayed?

Hmmm... that's strange-in my playing around, I noticed that my system seems to now behave identical whether I've set the play mode to Download or Stream-it seems to always stream. Never used to do that, as before there would be a pause before each trailer started while it loaded.

Oh one other thing while I'm here... when I start the script using the icon in the Info screen (using Transparency!), I notice while the script is starting and XBMC returns back to the movie selection screen, the selection jumps down one movie. Not that it's a big deal-just thought I'd mention it in case I'm the only one this happens to.

jitterjames Wrote:I think it happens to everyone. It does to me with Aeon MQ2. I figured it was a by-product of queuing the movie.

I also noticed no difference between "download" and "stream" options for the trailers. Seems to stream always, last time I checked, which was a while ago.

azaze1 Wrote:I'm having an issue now where the 'Other' folder is not being used when the primary codec's folder is empty.

For example...

TrueHD movie played with cinema experience. LOGS show it is looking for something in the Audio/Dolby TrueHD folder which is empty. Based on earlier behavior and discussions, it should then turn to the Audio/Other folder to play something, but it is not.

giftie Wrote:Are your trailers local? Did you clear your watched trailer list(in settings)? Can you post your Xbmc.log after a run?

giftie Wrote:The action that you are seeing when the selection moves down one spot on the list is caused by XBMC Queuing the Movie(it's a built in movement - probably to stop the user from queuing the same file more than once) It's been there since the beginning of the script(before Dharma)

giftie; 737933 Wrote:I believe the 'Download' function is a left over 'work in progress' feature when Nuka was working on the script prior to Dharma. There were a couple of similar features that I had already caught and removed(or disabled) were left) Not always the easiest thing to find.

As for the trailers, I hope to have an addon to automatically download from Apple Trailers sometime soon(just started working on it) It would allow XBMC to download trailers while not in use(as per schedule) It will not be a direct part of this script, but accessible from it. I'll only be working on Apple Trailers, and maybe HD-Trailers. Any one else wanting to add code, don't hesitate to PM me.

barcoboy Wrote:One other suggestion with regards to playing multiple movies... rather than having a setting for "Number of Features", would it be better to just assign another keystroke to start the show after queuing n number of videos, where n>0 ? Or, have the second keystroke queue the currently highlighted movie and start the show, so that you would only have to press one key to start everything to watch one movie, and n number of keypresses to watch n movies (eg: to watch one movie, highlight it, and press <new key>; to watch multiple movies, scroll to first movie, push Q to to queue, scroll to second movie, Q to queue, scroll to last movie, push <new key> to queue and start).

giftie Wrote:This would need to be an option in Settings. The script will only go to the Other folder if it can not match the Audio Codec to a folder(same as it has since version 1.0.0), the only difference now is that it can match to more Audio Codecs(DTSHD-MA and Dolby TrueHD) which videos are available for - Check out Demo World
