Just checked again and even if I have Movie Theater Intro clips, then the streamed trailers won't start up.

Using an autodownloder for trailers and you never have to worry about trailers not being available. It is painless and should address the problem you are experiencing
Can you recommend an auto downloader for Apple Movie trailers?

I use HD-Trailer.Net Downloader (for complete disclosure, I am one of the developers).You can specify the resultion of the trailer you want to download. Most of the trailers come from Yahoo though.

Once you have it setup and scheduled. Everything happens in the background and trailers are available for HCE when it need them. No buffering required.

Thanks for that. I'll go check it out now Smile


Virus in video files - och29 - 2011-08-16

Not sure if this has been posted before but "ljourneaux's HTE Mega Pack Torrent" contains a trojan. I have uploaded the files sans virus to usenet: http://nzbmatrix.com/nzb-details.php?id=1016320&hit=1

I hope this hasn't broken any rules but since the videos are so great I though that it would be better for the community to remove the trojan and upload it to a place people can download it quickly!

I was wondering if there has been any update/progress on expanding the number of videos before the featured presentation? I realize that it is not high on the priority list but was interested if there are plans in the future as I would like to show more videos before the movie than what the program allows. I attempted to correct this issue by placing several videos in the same folder; however, Cinema Experience only allows the videos to be played in random order when there are two or more videos in the same folder. I would like my video promises to be played in a particular order to match the movie theaters. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I am no longer hosting it on my computer so the torrent is in the wild.

Giftie, any idea time frame on when the bug preventing videos before streaming trailers will be fixed?

Trying to get this up and running on a fresh install of dahrma, I had this running previously on the same build, but for some reason now if I enable trivia (slideshow) it will not pull any slides from any subfolders of the set trivia folder, and when the slideshow is over there is about a 7-10 seconds where you can hear the next video clip playing, however you cannot see it (just a black screen) - it seems to me that the after the slide show there is a delay in the focus back from the slideshow. I do not have any trivia intro or outro videos set... and this was working previously...any suggestions guys?

I see you are using version 1.0.47 which was never fully tested on Dharma, this might be the problem. You will need to uninstall thru the Addons window(Settings -> Addons -> Enabled Addons) then delete the file XBMC\addons\packages\script.cinema.experience1.0.47.zip. Then install through the repo(Nuka's).

Then enter the script's settings and turn off the Using Pre-Eden option.

ok guys im new to this i really would love make this crypt work...ok i got Cinema Experience from this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=87563, i then
Search around I found that with opening the DialogVideoInfo.xml in the skin.confluence/720p folder and adding this
Code:
<control type="button" id="13">
<description>Home Cinema Experience</description>
<include>ButtonInfoDialogsCommonValues</include>
<label>Cinema</label>
<onclick>Dialog.Close(MovieInformation)</onclick>
<onclick>Playlist.Clear</onclick>
<onclick>RunScript(special://home/addons/script.cinema.experience/addon.py)</onclick>
</control>
I now had a Cinema button on my info screen of movies that would launch the Cinema Experience script.

Ok THEN WHAT? how does it work i press the cinema button and nothing happen!! do i have to download the movies trailer or edit some other lines? can someone please guide me in the right direction...please

Having a lot of trouble with the script as well. I have the Dharma build using the Confluence skin. I've added the Cinema button to the DialogVideo.XML file and do see the button. When I try to install Cinema Experience, through the unofficial repo nothing happens. I just can't seem to get Cinema Experience to install at all. Is there a place where I can download the ZIP file and try that way? Although, I believe I've tried that already, I'd certainly give it a shot again.

I should also add that I tried to download it using the repo from Nuka but couldn't get it to enable any add ons from that repo.

With out a debug log, I can not see what is going on inside XBMC. Though looking at the code again(for the button) something seems off, it is different than the code provide on this message http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=664172&postcount=6
