If I highlight a movie and select the movie information screen form the pop-up menu and from that screen press PLAY, Cinema Experience does NOT play.

Is there something I'm missing?

Shouldn't you press "Cinema" not play?

If you're only seeing PLAY then you're not using Alaska Revisited or the Add-on isn't installed properly.

I'm definitely using Alaska Revisited and I installed it from the add-ons menu. I only see the PLAY button.

I did some digging on the boards and got it working another way. I added some code so that if I go to MOVIES and scroll to the movie I want to watch I can press the "1" button on my remote and it will launch CE and then play the movie. If I just want to watch the movie without CE I can hit the SELECT button instead.

Alaska is such a GREAT skin so I'm more than happy with this solution.

Thanks.

I believe you are using the mod from the official Repo. That one is a little behind i think in terms of updates.

It came with update 1.9.9 while the official skin is only on version 1.8.9 or something

That must be the problem I was having with the skin, too.

Just a quick post to say thanks for adding this out-of-the-box. It's great to see the MTE script being actively developed after a bit of a hiatus and native support in Alaska is working great over here. Big thumbs up to everyone involved!

I'm also getting the now playing widget appear when music is playing for the trivia. I've railed this on the Theatre Experience thread but they suggested it is a skin problem.
Can the now playing widget be disable only when using this awesome addon?

Still waiting for a condition I can use -
