Can you run XBMC in Debug mode, try the script out again, then post the xbmc.log to Pastebin..


Thanks

I have no black slides in my collection, so the Cinema Experience script must be generating them.

Never did this before.
:confused2:

The script does not generate any sildes. The only way a black screen would show up is if there is a problem with a file. Your xbmc.log file(run XBMC in Debug mode) would go a long way in sorting out the problem.

revned Wrote:Hi Giftie,

After the last update I get te same "script error addon.py"error. Unfortunately the whole script won't run. Is there a way to revert to an older version of the script?

To revert, check to see if you have a Packages folder in your addons folder. There should be an old copy of Cinema Experience in there..

But before, could you post a copy of your xbmc.log file(to pastebin)

Thanks..

Just want to say thanks to Giftie; and let it be known I got the script working without having to hit the tab key for the main movie. We tried and tried and never could get it to work, and I appreciate the effort giftie... After upgrading to the newest tvn transparency skin and the newest nightly build of xbmc, the problem went away. Don't know why, but hey, it works... Smile

I also uploaded the start up video on my own home theater set-up here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9Z2F1R4V. I have it set to play as the "trivia intro" video prior to (of course) the trivia. If anyone wants to check it out or try it, you are welcome to (it is a mashup some will recognize of other custom site's video intros). I should also warn anyone trying it that all my videos have about a 6 second delay simply because from video to video my TV refreshes the resolution and the screen is blank for those 6 seconds. The video goes through camera lights flashing, a red carpet trip up to a curtain which opens, and in Star Wars fashion, the audience is made aware of the cinema experience they are about to .... well.... experience. Smile Then it closes exclaiming it is now time for movie trivia, and away it goes.

I know that there is something going on with your Trivia Intro. Not sure what's wrong with the videos, but if you disable the video(set it to none) you should be able to have the script function..

Not sure what happened, but CE won't play my trailers anymore. Here is what the log says:

This is my trailers folder

These are my settings


Any ideas? It was working fine until a couple weeks ago.

If you can post a copy of your xbmc.log it would help me narrow down the problem.. I think it has something to do with an error that pops up at the end of the videos which is fixed for the next release, but I would like to be sure...

Here is the Log, I hope it helps. I too get the script error at the end:

I am having problems too with the latest version. Basically it look like any options set on the Movie Trailers tab are being ignored.

Here is a screen of the Movie Trailers tab:

Image

Nothing plays except the main movie.

However, if I add the outro folder to the Special Videos tab, the the outro will work

Image

I am also seeing odd saving behavior. Changes made do not seem to stick. The appear to save at first, but ultimately do not.

For example, if I remove the Coming Attractions Outro (set to none) and click okay and then immediately go back into configure options, I see that Coming Attractions Outro is still set to none.

However, as soon as I go and play a movie using cinema experience and then go back into the plugin options, I see Coming Attractions Outro is set to what it used to be (as per screen shot above).

To add to the weirdness, I was able to add the Feature Presentation Intro on the Special Videos tab and it did stick. However, when I try set it back to none, I see the same behavior noted above - the change won't stick.

Here is a copy of my log file (was too big for pastebin non-pro account)

Same problem here, the script starts but skips the trailers.

My problem is that the movie starts without the resolution change activated...so the script seems to fail in avtivating the res. change at the start of the movie, it does disable the res. change at the beginning of the script for trailers and all intros etc.

After that of course it is also deactivated in system prefs /video.....
