My CV folder is on the cache drive in a cache only share.

I also have unraid added as a source with a username and password in kodi just because some of the shares are set to private (not the CV one, though)


RE: CinemaVision Add-on: Create a Movie Theater Experience at Home - KrispyKreme - 2015-11-28

is there a way for trailers to be played in the sequence like in CE where u download them to a folder and it plays based off of your metadata you put in the folder with the file? Ex. movie-trailer.mp4; movie-trailer.nfo I get all my trailers from movie-list.com


RE: CinemaVision Add-on: Create a Movie Theater Experience at Home - DrPepper - 2015-11-29

Hey

i have 2 questions.

1. I have Aeon MQ6. When trying to play a movie from the Home screen , i click Cinemavision , and it gives me an error : No Movies are in the Queue Please quue some features and try again. How can i solve that ?
2. I would like to disable the refreshrate during the trailer , trivia etc.. playback and reenable it just before beginning the movie. I added 2 actions (off and on) , and added the 2 scripts :

Code:
# Turn off refresh rate sync

        {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting": "videoplayer.adjustrefreshrate", "value": 0}, "id": 1}

        {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting": "videoplayer.adjustrefreshrate", "value": 2}, "id": 1}

i also enabled the allow http access for kodi in the settings . But it still doesn't work. Where could be the mistake ?

Thanks in advance for the help

I haven't tried Aeon MQ6, but it works perfectly with Rapier. Install that skin, reboot and give it a try and see if you have the same problem.

Did you replace 127.0.0.1 with your KODI IP address? It'll be in the Info screen.

I noticed similar issues with CV and MQ6 as well.

This week, for some reason, whenever i launched CV either through the widget or the movies menu, it would show the last watched movie in the queue instead of the movie selected. A reboot fixed it both times. And then another time, it kept giving me the error of no movies queued.

I can't troubleshoot because it's not consistent. I can't reproduce it (or at least haven't figured it how to yet)

We won't begin to develop for Kodi 16 Jarvis until a release candidate comes out. There's too much code changing and instability in Alpha and Beta releases. Once a release candidate comes out, we'll start to develop and test revisions of CinemaVision that are built to work with Jarvis.

It looks like you have a similar error to Carl. Make sure permissions are configured correctly on your share. We suspect that CinemaVision can create the file, but isn't allowed to write to it.

i looked at the share and its public, so all have rread/write permissions
any other idea?

One rule of thumb I've come to learn is to always reboot KODI prior to running a CV sequence during movie night. This ensures nothing is left in the queue and minimizes any issues during playback. Alternatively, when the movie's credits start to roll or I'm ready to end the movie hit "next" on the remote instead of "stop", otherwise the feature movie remains in the queue and could be problematic the next time you run a CV sequence.

I am also after the solution to number 1. Thanks!


RE: CinemaVision Add-on: Create a Movie Theater Experience at Home - keisuji - 2015-11-30

@thekow @DrPepper you need to go in the cinemavision addon settings and under playback and set "hide queue editor" to on. now you can start the movies without the popup of the queue editor


RE: CinemaVision Add-on: Create a Movie Theater Experience at Home - DrPepper - 2015-11-30

Hey , i already did that / tried that , but that does not solve the problem.

So I did not expect this much activity over the break. Insanity!

(2015-11-25, 23:23)Carl314 Wrote: No - the CVSEQ file was not empty. Where would I check the NFS share permissions - somewhere in Kodi, or in an unRAID setting? I just checked unRAID, and don't have any security settings on the share. At any rate, I'm just glad it's working now.

Question - is it possible to add an option to repurpose an existing button (or long-press a button) to launch CV? It would be great if hitting Enter simply launched the video file, but hitting play, or long-hitting play, would launch the file through CV.

Thanks, Carl.

You and me both. I suspect it might be something squirrely with unRAID, but I'm not sure. As for your question, that's something we plan to explore when we build the CinemaVision service. We're not quite sure what we are allowed to do, but the service will facilitate new ways of launching CinemaVision and a few other things. I'm not sure what you want is currently possible, but there's talk about extending long press to more buttons.

We do have the ability to play trailers from your local Kodi library (scraped from the directory that the movies are in), but you cant select specific trailers to play, yet. That's something we'd talked about adding in a future release.

I didn't know skins forced install - sorry about that. There are instructions for removing CinemaVision here. You can also disable the add-on via the Add-on Manager.

(2015-11-27, 00:10)leejk Wrote: Hi,

Still having trouble with the busy dialog showing up in CV. So in the public release of the mq6 skin, in DialogBusy.xml it reads: <visible>![System.HasAddon(script.cinemavision) + !IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(script.cinemavision.running))]</visible>

This is a bit different than what the CinemaVision first post of this thread states, specifically the second part. I'm thinking the mq6 code will not evaluate to false, to make it not visible. Which is correct?

UPDATE: I also checked out another skin that has CV support, and the same thing happens. For about 1 second the buffering dialog appears, so maybe this is not a skin issue?

And periodically I experience Kodi crashing when playing streaming trailers. Here is a crash log from today if that is helpful: http://goo.gl/OBx3rm

thx

The dialog you're likely seeing is for buffering, and not busy. The buffering dialog is an element on the fullscreen video window, and not a separate dialog. I don't think we can suppress it, but we can delay it - that would be up to the skinners to include and would affect everything, not just CinemaVision.

Looking at your logs, it appears to be related to a LazyTV service, and not a CinemaVision issue. If memory serves, we've seen this before.

I have local trailer content as well. How do I configure it to randomly pull trailers from all of these sources?

thx

Here is the debug log for this problem: http://goo.gl/y4FYjg
Here I have the order set to the default, yet it played trailers only for my KODI library out of 6, which is in the middle of the order. Every trailer played was for movies in my library. I would like to see trailers for upcoming movies also. I also have local trailers, yet it played none of those either. It's definitely not random.

If you have all of the scrapers active, and random selected, it will randomly pull trailers from all sources. Can I get you to post a debug log with you updating content in CinemaVision? I'm wondering if CinemaVision hasn't added the other trailers in the Trailers content directory (Content) and the Kodi Database (KodiDB) to the database.

I am currently having one consistent issue with Cinema Vision which I cannot narrow down. Log posted here. Has 3 repeats of issue I believe.

Trailers are failing to play. Trivia and other videos play without issue..... but trailers are simply skipped altogether. I am using downloaded trailers stored in the default content path where everything else is stored. The rest of the trivia and video bumpers work great..... only issue is trailers. I have the same issue if I set source= directory and navigate to the path manually.

Let me know if anymore details are needed here. Thanks for everything so far.

Hey, you're welcome! We're pretty glad all of you are behind us, too. Big Grin Can I get you to post a log where you've updated content in CinemaVision? If you've added files to the directories and haven't updated the content, CinemaVision doesn't know they exist yet. We'll add a scheduled content update to the CinemaVision service when we finish that.

We haven't added the option to automatically download trailers in the background, yet, but that's coming. We also plan to add a scraper for movie-list.com at some point. It's one of the first items we'll address in our next round of development. It sounds like what you're wanting to do is download high definition trailers and store them locally, and that we can do. You can either store them in the %CVROOT%\Trailers directory, or store them with local movies and scrape them into your Kodi database as trailers. Don't forget to update content in CinemaVision after you add files.

I'm not sure what that could be, but it might be a good idea to post the question here and in the Aeon MQ forum with a log the next time it happens. We have an argument that skinners should be using, RunScript(script.cinemavision,selection), when executing CinemaVision from things like widgets that ignores the queue entirely.

We'll be adding in a setting that will allow you to force CinemaVision to ignore the queue if there's only one item in it. That should solve the issue of leftover items in queue.
