basically whenever i try to start cinema experience in Eden.... it jumps to the next movie in the movie section.. but never plays anything..

any ideas?

thats weird, isn't my version Eden RC2?

either way, it worked.. thanks for the quick reply

The reason it wasn't working is that you had the version from the old Repo installed and that verison did not work with Eden. I haven't yet set up a new Repo for the Eden version.

ah.. thanks for the clarification...

i'm using the built in 720p trailers to stream. i keep getting buffering because my internet speed isn't the greatest upstairs. i was wondering if there was an easy way to have trailers downloaded to my PC and then delete ones older than 30 days or so. i see some tutorials online and i see they are all from 2010 so i'm not sure it still works.

There is a program called HD-Trailers.NET Downloader which works quite well(it is a Windows Program) The author has set up the program to provide the proper nfo file for Cinema Experience. There is a method to have this program to automatically download(and I think delete) trailers.

Yep, that's what I use. I have it scheduled to run whenever the htpc starts up and it grabs the latest trailers and deletes those that are a week old. Means that you also get Yahoo and other trailers, not just Apple (although you can set it to only download Apple trailers if you want).

Hi Giftie. Just wondering if you had a chance to check out my debug log regarding the XBMC freezing problem I'm having from post #2218. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1083994

I guess I could use HD-Trailers.NET Downloader as a workaround for now.

Thanks.

Does it freeze every time? It looks to be a bug in XBMC's threading, though I thought this one was fixed in Eden since I think it was caught before Eden was released. I know Eden is locking up, not the script, so there is not much more than reporting it to XBMC dev's and hope for a solution. I know they are working on another big change to the addon engine which may have higher priority, since it may fix these errors from happening. Though since it's not been pushed into master just yet, it might get looked at.

I'll see if I can reproduce and submit my findings to XBMC's Trac.

Just tried starting CE with five different movies, and XBMC crashed every time.

Great, thanks Giftie. In the meantime, I'll give HD-Trailers.NET Downloader a try.

@giftie. I should have the trailers script up for testing in a few weeks. We need to get together to make sure it ties in with CE.

It has a service script to background download trailers.

From my brief reading I like how much you've done with this.

nuka you're back :-)

great to see you again

As you might have notice(or not) I moved the development to GitHub, I think it works better for development.
