How many trailers are there in you C:\trailers\ folder? XBMC is only reporting back 3 and you have the Genre option set for trailers and it is not matching any of those 3.

Thanks for checking it out.

The next version will have this fixed.
Quote:I thought that maybe if I put the slides on the share, that would help out. but it's telling me that:
Code:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'nfs://pangea.local/media/Osiris/Video/meeMovieTunes - Quiz Pack 2 0.1 Alpha/slides.xml

but it is there...Huh

the other interesting thing is that I don't have either:
Limit Trivia by Rating....
or
Rating Limit for Trivia, set. So, why is it looking for that file?

The trivia checks for the slides.xml file all the time, since you might have actual trivia(Q & A) type slides. Ok, another place I have to copy before using it... Sad lol...

I fixed my probem with the number of trailers I have on my computer. Unfortunately I am still having issues.

I have run it a few times. The first time, one trailer played before the movie (I have set the number of trailers to 5). The other times I tried, no trailers played.

Here is a debug log

You have both Genre and MPAA Rating limited on the trailers, though most of the trailers don't seem to match the genre, a couple did but did not match the MPAA Rating.

How is the MPAA Rating stored in the NFO file? Is is just 'Rated PG' ?


- ijourneaux - 2011-12-28

Sorry to be such a pain. Two more items I shouldn't have overlooked).

The MPAA ratings are PG, PG_13, R, NC_17, etc

I noticed in the configuration of HCE you have PG-13 and NC-17.

EDIT.
Working on the premise that PG_13 should be PG-13, I have noticed a couple of issues with HD-Trailer.Net Downloader. The default rating that is given to a trailer when there isn't an MPAA rating yet was configured as PG_13. This is a simple change to the config file. SEcond the IMDB scraper I am using returns PG_13 and NC_17. I have corrected that so that it returns PG-13 and NC-17. I should ahve an updated version uploaded shortly.

quick question, and i'm sure this has been covered, but i have no been able to find it in the op or on the wiki, sooo....

what i want to do is before a movie plays, i want to play a trailer or 2, random from either apple or you tube, based on the genre of the movie that was selected to play.

basically, i have my local movies setup like so:
/movies/action/movie.mp4

i browse by folder, not library, because i just like for few genre folders that i have setup. so when i select a movie, this is what i would like it to do
1. play coming attraction clip from one of the packs on op
2. play 2 random trailers from apple trailers based on the genre of the movie
3. play a quick old school "let's go out to the movies" video where the popcorn and drinks are dancing around, lol
4. play the feature presentation clip from one of the packs in the OP
5. play the selected movie

is this possible with cinema experience? if so, how would i go about setting this up? if there's a how to i am missing, i'm sorry.

but it's important that it plays the trailer based on the genre, don't want my kids to play Up and have a texas chainsaw massacre trailer play


- giftie - 2011-12-29

Cinema Experience requires the movies to be stored in the library, this is due to requirements the script, for instance how is the script suppose to know the genre and mpaa rating of a video file. Other than that trailers only come from Apple Trailers(may change just need someone to help out on scraping) the script will do what you want. Genre and MPAA rating matching can be set in the settings(under trailers)

check the Wiki -- http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/wiki/CinemaExperienceIntro

also, i found this page to be helpful (maybe often times overlooked) -- http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/wiki/CinemaExperienceVideoFolders

but to be honest... the configure screen of the add-on is pretty straight forward.

you might find dowloading this torrent helpful, too -- http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/wiki/CinemaExperienceVideoFolders

it's HUGE!! but i found a lot of clips / ratings / trivia slides, that are really good!

Thanks for such a GREAT add-in to XBMC, I know you have put a lot of work into this, I tip my hat to you ;-)

I have been playing with this for a few days now with Eden, and found that mostly it works well. I did find what may be a BUG, when I choose to download trailers.

It does download the trailers but then Eden locks up and the Trivia never starts. I have to force shut down the app (Mac OSX Lion). I watch (the local) folder and they are downloaded along with a couple nfo files, then it never starts the Trivia portion. If I switch to stream it works fine, but occasionally it has to pays to buffer (bandwidth issue I am sure).

Also while it is streaming or beginning to stream there is a thumbnail that shows up (with a film strip border) in the lower right corner, is there a way to turn that off?

Thanks again!!!!

Okay,

I just installed Eden Beta. How do I update to 1.0.51? I installed the latest repository form first page in this thread. No updates are showing as available. I am on 1.0.46 right now.

First page of forum. you should be using 2.0.53 -- not 1.0.xx

Since updating to Beta1 the Button to play the movie with CE no longer appears in the Movie Information with the AENMQ3 skin, has worked with latest SVN....Skin problem or CE issue?

Forget it, got the menu back by switching to "pro" mode in AEON MQ3.

Please keep up the tremendously good work on this plug-in!!! Once the trailer streaming will work it is nearly perfect!
