It wasn't planned, but it might be simple enough to integrate. I've added it to the development roadmap. We're nowhere near ready to start working on Home Automation, so don't expect an update on that for a little while.

Seriously though I'm just having ideas pop up and rather than remain silent I'm putting them out there for others to see. I don't expect everything all at once. But it's my nature to be a problem solver and systems analyzer. I see how things work, how they could work better and attempt to reach a point where everyone can enjoy them. Of course they build a bigger idiot everyday but that doesn't mean you just stop trying to be innovative.

In regard for the home automation question before, having it built into CV but separate from regular Kodi operation is optimal. You run CV and want lights dimming at certain moments but not every time you play any random video. That's one thing I encountered when trying to add home automation to XBMC a year ago. You play a 30 second video clip and end up with lights doing all sorts of things you don't really want. I have more thoughts on this but for now I'll let you guys sort some of it out and see what you come up with.

• You set an option in the add-on configuration to use Home Automation
  
• You can insert Actions Modules anywhere in your sequence, as many of them as you want
  
• In the Actions Module set your home automation solution
  
• All of the commands for that solution will then be available to you in that Actions module, so you just tell it what you want it to do there by adding events inside of it

that will let you disable script.cinema.experience.

Let me explain a bit further. I have a bunch of playlists of Looney Tunes cartoon shorts. Each playlist represents an episode of "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show" or one of the other anthology shows that have been shown over the years, complete with the show opening and closing.

It would be nice to have a feature that would pick one of those random playlists. And then, again if possible, flag it so as not to be played until all the other playlists have been played (or the flag has been reset)

Like I said, I have no idea if it is possible. But hey, a guy can dream, yes?

And I do realize this may not fall in the realm of the idea of this script, but thought I'd throw the idea out there.

As more gets discussed and revealed I'm thinking CV will work more-or-less as I'd design it myself to so for my applications. Now it's just the patiently wait with tempered expectations game......

Turns out Aeon MQ5 Helix mod forces CE to remain active once installed. A friendly skin developer pointed me towards the following solution:

This worked perfectly and let me uninstall CE. Now I will wait for CV to be released.
