RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - perkins.jt - 2012-07-18

My mistake. The 2nd one should have been http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=5164. What can I do if the logs are unhelpful? This only happens when I select Cinema, otherwise the system runs flawlessly. Could it be an issue with Aeon Nox?

edit: the version I was using from Nuka1195's repo apparently was much older? updated to the one in the 1st post, but still having the same issue

Two things, first install gdb in linux, this will allow the debugger that XBMC uses for it's code to function(it's not installed on you system) Install method: sudo apt-get install gdb

Second, please post an up to date debug log of when you are using version 2.0.57

I'm having a similar issue to the chap above with XBMC 'freezing' when I try to start up Cinema Experience. I've tried it in Neon, Transparency! and Metropolis so far. They all do the same thing - I click on the 'cinema experience' button, it returns me to the menu, and then it just hangs there, and I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to end task as XBMC is 'not responding.'

The movies play fine if I don't use cinema experience.

I've attached a debug log - hope you can help me! Smile

Try disabling TV Tunes and Next Air TV(or what ever it's called Smile ) Cinema Experience and these scripts have been known not to get along some times. Smile It's more or less a problem inside XBMC.




Suggestion - patino - 2012-07-24

Hi, everybody, first of all congratulations for this well-done job.

I'd like to make a suggestion, I know it's so easy to think about new imposible functions but sometimes we are lucky, so here i go...

When it finishes the apple trailer (newest), it would be nice to have the possibility to add the movie in the Trakt wishlist or IMDB wishlist if you want or like, so if we use couchpotato (for example), it will be your next movie.

When my wife watchs trailers, always says: "I want to watch it, right now". But I always forget the titles, actors...etc and I can't search the movie. Sorry for my personal explanation but it's important for my marriage Big GrinBlushNod

Thank you

Hy stig,
I have the same issue but I not use tv tunes etc?
As soon as I click on the "cinema" button in refocus the entire xbmc box comes to a halt? My only course of action is to ctl-alt-del it down... Which is a nightmare.

Unfortunately as I have over 150 plugins installed, I have no way of pin pointing what isn't playing well with this script, which is a same as we really like it.

My logging from xbmc just crashes and leaves no trace other than cinema experience...

Is there a list of known plugins that don't play well with this script somewhere?
I'm on xbmc 11
Windows 7
Refocus
Cinema ex Latest version (from font page git link)

Cheers,
Pat


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - canadave - 2012-07-25

Hi,

I'm just using Cinema Experience for the first time in a while, and I just noticed that although the movie eventually plays as normal, there's a couple of problems getting there:

1. There are several random points during the Trivia Slides section where the screen goes entirely black, as though I had uploaded a bunch of trivia slides that were completely black. So obviously CE doesn't like a few slides. Seeing as how I have several hundred slides going, is there any way to tell which slide is "corrupt" or whatever?

2. For some reason, the ComingAttractionsIntro movie doesn't play, and neither do the local trailer movies I have on the Apple TV. It just goes straight from Trivia Slides, to the Movie Theater Intro, to the Feature Presentation Intro, to the actual movie. This is very strange, since the ComingAttractionsIntro movie and trailers worked fine the last time I used CE! :0 I don't think I've made any changes since I last used CE...and I can see the movie there if I look at the file structure. The settings point to the right folder.

here's the log:
http://pastebin.com/srkWHwAJ

Both of these problems occur whether I use Metropolis skin or reFocus skin.

Any help would be much appreciated, as I need to get this working by Friday afternoon or my wife will kill me Wink

I need a debug log, a standard log misses a lot of information.

Sometime XBMC has problems with multiple addons running at the same time.. Many skins have addons running even if you do not use them(Usually TV Tunes and Next Aired) I have even had the GUI in XBMC cause hangs with addons as well.. I would need to see a debug log to possibly pinpoint the hang.

Ack, of course--sorry about that. I just ran a debug log. It's too big to fit into pastebin in one piece, so I've split it into (hopefully) two logical parts.

Part 2: http://pastebin.com/ZbPYJqEE

Hope that helps!


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - giftie - 2012-07-25

There is a issue with your trailer path -> /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/addon_data/script.cinema.experience/DOWNLOADS/ XBMC is reporting that there is no videos in this folder(at least thats what I think it does) If the script does not find trailers it will not add the Coming Attraction Intros/Outros. Also XBMC is reporting your TriviaOutro folder -> /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/addon_data/script.cinema.experience/TriviaOutro/ also has no videos.

The problem with the blank slides... Running in debug mode, XBMC will log any picture file it loads, since it saves it as a cached file for the next time around. It also logs if it has problems with the image.


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - cnewton2k - 2012-07-25

Hi,

i have just discovered this addon and have a few questions, does it work with the froyo alpha? as i need HD audio and this is the only way to do it.

Also what format do the trailer have to be in?

Also i am using the skin Aeon Nox will this work?

It should work fine with Git, though since it is ongoing developement, there is always a chance that they will make a change that will break add-ons. I run Git, and compile almost every day, and so far no problems.
Quote:Also what format do the trailer have to be in?
The first few messages in this thread should contain most of the answers to your questions.
Quote:Also i am using the skin Aeon Nox will this work?
I believe Aeon Nox has provisions to use the script, Check skin settings and any issues(skin side) please post them on Aeon Nox's thread

Thanks very much giftie, I'll have a look at those items.


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - canadave - 2012-07-26

Hmmmm. Well I'm damned if I know what it is. I changed the setting to be the "Trailers" folder and put the trailers in there. I even created a "DOWNLOADS" folder and copied the trailers in there, just in case. I also verified that the owner/group on everything (recursively) is mobile:mobile. Still same result after exiting and going back in--trailers don't play, and neither does the coming attractions video.

I'll grab the log here in a moment.

EDIT: Here's the log (in two parts again, sorry):

Part 1: http://pastebin.com/ytKWr6fy
Part 2: http://pastebin.com/vA4Lkemb


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - giftie - 2012-07-26

Now it finds the folder correctly but your trailers are not named properly.. They need to have '-trailer' before the extention.
