However, after searching I can't seem to find anything that spells out whether or not I can CE to trigger when I play DVD/Bluray. Searching through the settings I didn't see anything jump out at me, but I'm fairly new to it on PC. I was an actual Xbox XBMC user for years. I see where ripping iso's works, but I have a collection of over 500 movies and Tv series and there's no way to store than many digitally in HD that's cost effective for me. Anyways if anyone has an answer or a direction I should look let me know.

Would it be possible to integrate Cinema Experience as well? I always end up adding new movies when I watch trailers and it would be fantastic if I could do that with this script as well.

First, I'm trying to determine if there's a method of increasing items in the CE script. I'm looking for a play-back sequence as follows;

1. Trivia Intro Video(s)
2. Slides w/ music playlist
3. Trivia Outro Video(s)
4. Movie Theater Intro Video(s)
5. Coming Attractions Intro Video(s)
6. Trailer(s)
7. Coming Attractions Outro Video(s)

A. Theater Promo Video (Let's all go to the Lobby, etc)
B. Cartoon Short Intro Video
C. Cartoon Short

8. Feature Presentation Intro Video(s)
9. Rating

D. Theater Specific Audio Video (playlist, randoms etc for THX, Equipment Promos and such)

10. Audio (DD/DTS/THX etc) Only Dolby or dts formats videos here
11. Countdown Video
12. Movie Starts
13. Intermission Video(s) - If selected
14. Rating Video - if selected
15. Audio Format Video - if selected
16. Next Movie Starts
.
. The last three can repeat up to 3 more times
.
17. Feature Presentation Outro Video(s)
18. Movie Theatre Outro Video(s)

Of course the Theater Promo videos can be put into the Coming Attractions Outro slot but still curious if there's possibility for both.


Also, is it possible to have 2 separate CE scripts? The reason being 1 for regular 2D movies and 1 for 3D movies where the trailers and cartoon short can be different folders containing 3D videos. Also a "Put your 3D Glasses on Now" intro video.

I have been thinking about adding the 3D intro to the script. The only problem is how to determine if the Video is 3D. The script uses XBMC Database information for various things, but I don't think XBMC stores 3D movie data. I guess I would have to rely on file naming to determine if the movie is 3D. I could always put a user adjustable setting that the script would use to determine if the file name represents a 3D movie.

For example: Future settings:

Code:

Enable 3D Video Intro                                                                      True/False
     3D file name tags:(separate different tags by semi-colon ";" )          H-SBS;HSBS;SBS;3D

So if the file name contains any of the following tags, H-SBS, HSBS, SBS or 3D, the script knows to play the 3D intro.(the file name tag setting would only be visible if Enable 3D Video Intro is set to True).

This would not be hard to add to the script and it can be placed right before the Movie Playback starts.

If you(or RagnaroktA) can think of any default tags, or maybe another way to detect the 3D movie please feel free to tell me.

Regarding TMT and PowerDVD check out Another External Player Code, but Very Simple to Setup

I hope you weren't thinking I was being facetious or anything. I was honestly thanking you for pointing that thread out to me. It's just a ton of information to go through. Kinda like when Homer joined the Stonecutters and was forced to pull the boulder, only to be discovered he was the chosen one and then given a BIGGER boulder.
