[RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script

Valpohawk · 2012-04-18 02:37

I am having an issue with the audio levels during video playback. When running CE video audio is very faint, I have to turn up my volume to 100% and can still only barely hear the audio. During the slideshow, the music file plays at a normal level and once the movie starts audio returns to a normal level. I can also hear movies at a normal level when watching movies through XBMC without using CE. I am using an HDMI audio connection. Pastebin file is attached.

Any advice would be helpful. Looks like a great add-on and would love to get it running properly!

Hello. This add-on is awesome. Unfortunately I am having a spot of bother with the Home Automation functionality...

I'm running the latest stable version of Eden, with v2.0.53 of CinemaEX.
EventGhost is receiving XBMCs standard broadcast messages, A.O.K. Smile

I have set up Cinema EX to send home automation messages in the Add-on Settings.
I am using the following code in home_automation.py...

Code:

xbmc.executehttpapi( "Broadcast(<b>CinemaEx<li>Start</b>)" )

...but EventGhost isn't seeing anything. Frown

Has this method been depreciated in Eden?
Do I need to move/rename a file?
Have I missed a step?

Thanks,
Dan

Ha! Just fixed it. I needed to put the python file in the user data folder.

That always happens when I post on a forum...

Thanks anyways.

Anybody know if it's possible to create xbmc event for audio section, program section (when you go in the section)

It is possible. There would need to be a service addon created to monitor page access. The hard part is to separate the different Video sections(Files, Movies, TV Shows)

Hi - I hope someone can help me. I'm having trouble getting the CE script to work the way I want.
For Movie trailers I'm using the XBMC Library option as I want i to play trailers of movies I have in my collection, but it seems to crash the cript everytime after it plays a trailer.
I have placed log here:

Can you let me know if there is something I'm doing wrong? I'm on Eden RC2 on Windows.

Thanks a lot,

Dave

Amazing Add-on, Thankyou!
Looking into making some intros, but they seem very time consuming.
Anyone used ivipid.com to make any? Looks really simple but not exactly cheap. Just wondering on the finished quality before I forked the dough.

Oops, should've searched. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...Ivipid.com

Couple of problems. Eden has some fixes to bugs in RC2(this addon did make these bugs show up). Next problem(small issue) When the movies are scraped, the trailers are stored as the YouTube plugin links. This causes some issues with this test version of the script(as it does think that video has been stopped, since the YouTube plugin is slightly different then a locally stored trailer.) I will be releasing another test version that might have this fixed. Not sure exactly when I will release it.

Cheers for the info Giftie - I have been avoiding moving to Eden as I hear it may cause some problems with PsuedoTV compared to RC2.
I'll keep an eye out for the new test version that you may be releasing and if it doesn't sort the problem out I'll update to Eden.
Thanks for a great plugin and the info!!!
