Well tonight I ran across a problem that has also plagued the ESPN3 addon. It's when a video stream is encountered that it can't play, and KODI will popup a message saying something like SMIL URL blank. I ran into it during the trailers segment. I couldn't gracefully dismiss the error, and so got backed out of the whole sequence, and had to start over watching the movie. If possible, I think CV needs to be able to detect these types of video streams and skip them. Also, I'm not really sure what these errors mean; is it protected content, a different format that what KODI can, or what?

Thx

Can you post the log from when you had that issue?

In other words, I'm not talking about seeing unwatched trailers, I'm talking about seeing trailers only for unwatched movies. Ideally this would apply to any trailer source/scraper -- I'd like to be able to see old and new trailers from itunes or the Kodi db, as long as the movie the trailer is for is not a watched movie in my collection.

It was fine with previous kodi.

I have success issuing my hyperion-remote commands via Putty but when I try to issue them via a .cvaction file I get a blank screen when executing the script. The script will exit normally if i press x on the keyboard.
when I issue the command via putty i get the following response

What do your action files for Hyperion look like? It might be a syntax issue, but it also might be something we aren't taking into account that we need to add to the way action files are handled.

I would have hoped it would take any trailer/slide/whatever that is not in a 2.40 aspect resolution and scale/zoom it to fit in that ratio so it doesn't overflow our scope screens? And another ideal suggestion would be to allow multiple context menu buttons for the launcher, for example Cinemavision 2.40, Cinemavision 1.85, Cinemavision Default, etc -- this way we could start the sequence appropriately for any Feature, for those of us with constant image height screens.

I put "<visible>IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(script.cinemavision.running))</visible>" in the DialogBusy.xml of my skin (Eminence) inside the <Window> tags, and then the OSD just sticks on a "Please Wait" loop that I can't get out of:

(2015-10-17, 19:14)jubilex Wrote: Also of note is that this same Kodi install has Cinema Experience installed, which does not get interrupted by glimpses of the OSD at all. I searched through all the skin files and didn't find any mentions of Cinema Experience to account for why that one works seamlessly and CInema Vision doesn't.

Happy to donate but what I'm really interested in is video bumpers. Not really into any of the trivia but those bumpers are sexy so I'd love to see more.

Well in your paste I do notice one character that could be causing a problem. Take a look at this line of your code:

Code:

PUT: {"color":[255,255,255],"command":"color","duration":3000,"priority”:100}

You have one quotation character that isnt like the others, and it's of a type that python has trouble reading. Look in your string for this character ” and replace it with this normal quotation " and see if that fixes the issue. If not, send us your action files as well as a log from when you try to run the sequence.
