So I effectively shut down the Progress Dialog by delaying it excessively in advancedsettings.xml but the script still crashes xbmc before the progressdialog.xml is launched. I caught this screen shot right before the crash. Not sure how helpful it is.

You shouldn't be able to affect the Progress Dialog of the script by adjusting the settings in the advanced settings anyways, I think that is the Buffering/Busy dialog. The script opens the dialog on it's own.

To disable the progress Dialog in the script you will need to edit a few lines in the script(any text editor should do)
Lines 267-269 look like this:
Code:
pDialog = xbmcgui.DialogProgress()
    pDialog.create( __script__, _L_( 32520 )  )
    pDialog.update( 0 )
if you put the '#' symbol in front of them so they look like this:
Code:
#pDialog = xbmcgui.DialogProgress()
    #pDialog.create( __script__, _L_( 32520 )  )
    #pDialog.update( 0 )
they will be not be activated by the script.
Also line 293
Code:
pDialog.close()
to
Code:
#pDialog.close()
and line 320:
Code:
pDialog.update( -1, _L_( 32510 ) )
to
Code:
#pDialog.update( -1, _L_( 32510 ) )
and line 323:
Code:
pDialog.update( -1, _L_( 32511 )  )
to
Code:
pDialog.update( -1, _L_( 32511 )  )
and line 329:
Code:
pDialog.update( 50 )
to
Code:
#pDialog.update( 50 )
and line 331:
Code:
pDialog.close()
to
Code:
#pDialog.close()
and finally line 353:
Code:
pDialog.close()
to
Code:
#pDialog.close()

You can delete these lines if you want, though it makes it harder for me to trouble shoot as line numbers change between your code and mine.

"Lallhands" are you able to confirm if Gifties wisdom has paid off. If so would you mind sharing how you changed the script and how you go to it. I'd be forever in your debt.

I will try today. Thanks for the insight Gifite. I will post my results this evening.


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - lallhands - 2012-10-12

Giftie, I commented out those lines and triple checked to make sure I had them right. Now it seems to progress a bit further before crashing (i.e. the selected movie shifts one to the right on the acreen now) but xbmc crashes in the same manner. Posting logs again and a video this time.

Thanks for your help with this. All of the Openelec users that use your script will be very happy to have it back. I will post our findings in the user forums there once we crack this nut.

Cheers,

Openelec 1.99.2 released yesterday, still having same issue after the KERNEL and SYSTEM update from 1.99.1 to 1.99.2...


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - Burke - 2012-10-13

Just a quick question...

I am using HD-Trailers.Net Downloader to download trailers to use with cinema experience.

Right now it is setup to make folder for each trailer.

If all my trailers were in one folder (not separate ones for each trailer) would that be
a problem for Cinema experience?

Thanks

If its any help I have all of my trailers download from HD- Trailers.net to one folder and set it to auto delete items older than 30 days. I have CE run two random trailers from the one folder full of trailers and have never had any issues.

Nearly the same thing is happening in Windows, except that the PC doesn't reboot, XMBC crashes hard and has to be killed. But the crash occurs in exactly the same spot. In my case though (Windows XP SP3), if I turn off trailer downloading and use streaming mode, the crash does not occur.

I haven't made this to be compatible with Frodo yet.. So the problems are probably due to that fact.

Not Frodo compatible yet...

Cinema Experience only stopped working for me when I upgraded past the Alpha 4 release of Frodo. Skipped Alpha 5 so not sure if it works in that release but it works flawlessly for me when I roll back to Alpha 4 so CE will work in Frodo to a certain point. I don't stream trailers, I download them through the Trailers addon and playback through CE via local folder.

No, all my trailers are downloaded and saved to a single folder and CE works fine.

Thank you guys for your replays Smile






RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - felixxx999 - 2012-10-16

can someone point me in the right direction??

I have Cinema experience working... I get past the trailers, Feature presentation video, audio video, then the movie doesn't actually play. Skips right to the Movie Theater outro video... what setting am I setting wrong?

Also, I'd like to use the MPAA ratings... should I actually use videos or jpgs... can someone point me toward whre I might find the ratings videos....

Using the latest stable XBMC for windows (11, I believe) and I"m using CE downloaded from here: http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/wiki/CinemaExperienceIntro


RE: [RELEASE] Cinema Experience - the new Home Theater Experience Script - sarakha63 - 2012-10-16

had the same issue, just copy the latest version from github and it will solve the issue




REQUEST FEATURE : could it be possible, to have an option to not use trailers for movies in a specific folder ? (to avoid having trailers of my anime for example, but i d'ont want to filter trailers by the genre of the movie i watch)


BUG FEATURE : the don't show trailers for watched movies does'nt work


Thanks
