I have it all configured (using Aeon MQ4) and whether I start the script through the opening screen context menu (which prompts me to queue movies with 'q') or starting it through movie information it doesn't work, it just starts the movie. Earlier I started the script through the movie information screen and it did sort of work, the movie began playing and about 13 minutes in my intro movie and slideshow played, although it did not respect my settings (i have a set number of slides, like 10-15, and it played at least 50). I exited and restarted the movie and it played several trailers, i exited again and it finally let me go back to where i was in the movie. I haven't been able to recreate the starting after the movie thing but I did make 2 logs; one of starting from the main screen context menu and one starting from movie info.

from context on main screen

from movie info screen, i had to erase when it called my music because it kept getting censored and i couldnt figure out why and was also too long for pastebin. i made notes where i erased.

thanks for any help!!

First, try using a smaller group of music files(you entire iTunes Library is not a good start) The script will get a full directory listing of what is inside your music folder(and it is recursive)

that solved it. thanks so much!!

First time user here. I am getting a script failed error when I try to launch CE from the movie info screen. Error says: Script failed!: addon.py

Any help would be great

Please read through the first page of this thread, especially the part about reporting problems

Thanks for the quick response.

Just to explain what I have done so far.

1) Installed XBMC
2) Installed this program from the interface
3) d/l Frodo Version 3.0.3 and placed that in: C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\addons
4) Added button in the skin per Harro's post

edit: I also added some slides from a post I found into my documents folder and linked that folder in the CE settings.

That log doesn't show you trying to run the script. I was going to say that you need to update the script, but I see XBMC already did, Cinema Experience is available from the Official Repo now.

Can you run XBMC in debug mode and try starting the script from the info window again? Thanks...

That is the issue I'm running into, it doesn't start at all. When I click on "Cinema" button it gives me that addon.py error and a Search box comes up with the movie I am trying to use for the Cinema test.

Here is the 2nd log but I don't expect it to have anything else then the last. I may be missing a step in this process...do my steps I mentioned above look to be all I need to do?

Edit:

Do I need to do this step? If so this directory doesn't exist, not on my install. What is event ghost?

Quote:home_automation.py for triggering EventGhost(for version 3.0.1 and newer of the script) -> http://www.mediafire.com/file/j84f35o85d...tion(2).py - be sure to place this in the userdata/addon_data/script.cinema.experience/ha_scripts folder and named home_automation.py
