We're still fixing things from the first round of development so once we're confident we're at a steady state, look for updates on TV functionality. We do plan to outline what we think we need to do and allow the community to get involved in development by submitting ideas, just like we did for creating the add-on initially.

(2015-12-05, 21:44)Dave the Minion Wrote: Not trying to put undo pressure on your dev or anything, but wouldn't initializing CV for TV shows not be more-or-less similar to making the 3D version? Kodi plays back something from the TV database rather than the Movie database and that tells CV it's a TV show and to run the TV sequence instead of the 2D one? Maybe it just seems easier in my mind than it is in reality for what ever the reasons.

(2015-12-05, 21:44)Dave the Minion Wrote: As for Z-Wave, my big issue is just not understanding it all. There's a BIG learning curve and if you don't have a good (simple) starting point you are lost before you even begin. At this point I can't even find information of what needs to be installed on the system and the Vera in order to get Kodi to work with the Vera like it used to. There's a new app, but getting the 2 to work together isn't easily laid out to understand. Coupled with the very limited support and it ends up way over my head before I even know what's going on. If I could find some decently written Kodi specific articles that would be great but so far it's like talking full on rocket science to pre-schoolers. And really, I only need CV to send 4 signals to the Vera and then want 5 buttons programmed into a Harmony. And again, my time to 'play' with all this is very limited right now so I need to know what I'm trying to do before I even get there.

• Turn off a light:

• Set a dimmable light to 30%:

• Run a scene:

• Install a plugin:

• Turn off all lights:

• Arm all sensors:

(2015-12-05, 21:44)Dave the Minion Wrote: Lastly, with the work towards a 2.0 release has anything been put into making customer modules to execute commands based on pre-set parameters. Example being playing a specific bumper in pace of a default one based on a file name tag or genre or something?

Still having trouble with the busy dialog showing up in CV.

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.

(2015-11-30, 20:05)CinemaVision-Scott Wrote: 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.

(2015-11-30, 20:05)CinemaVision-Scott Wrote: 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.

Yup. There is a script in the unraid gui that fixes permissions.

Or, one can telnet in and change the permissions manually to chown nobody:users and give the group rw access. That might fix it

Any chance I could talk you into doing a bit of a guide with screenshots for us? I'll put it in the guides section on the CinemaVision site when that's ready to go. Might be helpful for folks.

(2015-12-06, 16:13)CinemaVision-Scott Wrote: It's actually ridiculously more complicated than the 3D implementation. We plan to add functionality to allow you to run modules (commercials) during the feature every X videos (episodes), or at specific time markers for example. There are several other things that we'll add in support of TV that are also more complicated than just a new sequence. We want to make sure to do it right.

(2015-12-06, 16:13)CinemaVision-Scott Wrote: Dave, you gotta read the stuff I post, man. You'll be way less frustrated. This is from the Luup Requests Wiki article I posted earlier:

See if any of that stuff works for you and let me know. Once we know we're on the right track, we can start creating actions.

(2015-12-06, 16:13)CinemaVision-Scott Wrote: We havent started coding the new features, if that's what you're asking. We will be adding a ton of functionality to the command modules including if 2D feature, if 3D feature, if Television feature, if tag exists (filename tag), feature genre/rating (=, <>, <, >). If anyone can think of others that would be useful, let us know.

(2015-12-06, 20:45)leejk Wrote: Yes, I think you are right. It is the buffering dialog. However the annoying thing about it is that it appears between every segment, even if the video is being loaded from my network share. It's always shown for maybe a second. If there is a way to set a delay before it shows as you mention, that would be most helpful.

(2015-12-06, 20:45)leejk Wrote: Here is another debug log: http://goo.gl/IDdxqE
I did another content update before playing. I have it set to play 6 trailers and to ignore YouTube trailers, yet it still plays them. And every trailer it played was from my Kodi library. It didn't play any from iTunes or my locally stored ones. I hope we can figure this out.

With a filter, I can download the lousy trailers in case someone is really, really interested enough in a movie to watch the trailer, but CV will only "wow" the viewer with the HD trailer.

I'm really loving CV now that it works on my system!

Wishful thinking here.

What an awesome idea. Makes such perfect sense and even more dynamic like an actual movie theater experience. They start at a set time, not a random time.

My suggestion, when you click the CV button you get a pop-up menu with "Start Now" and Start at XX:XX" options. A setting in the config to enable or disable time specific sequence start would allow those who don't care to use the feature to turn it off. Add this to the white board near the top!!!

If we added that filter, it would only work for streaming sources that report the quality data. It wouldn't work for locally stored trailers because of the way Kodi currently catalogs local trailers (without storing any data except path or URL). Glad you love it, Carl. I appreciate your help in all of this!

OK. got that to work. It will run scenes that have been set-up in the Vera. Thing is I have no idea what numbers each of the scenes actually are.

And now, how do I get this info into CV?

**** Edit ****

Nevermind. I played with each scene number to figure out which was which. Then I played with CV and action files and viola, it's all working. Lights dim to certain levels when trivia starts. Dim more when trailers start. Go out completely when the feature starts. Come back up when the feature ends. Lights rise when you pause and return to the previous state when you resume. This is F-ING AWESOME!

Thanks for the help and support. CV is a masterpiece and only getting better. It's truly the movies at home now.


I do want to add, now that I've got the Z-wave working, that I'm even more anxious to have a simple TV Show integration until the full fledged version is worked out. For the simple reason I could now use CV to easily adjust the lights so much simpler. Please? With extra cherries

Does CV have visibility over trailer filenames? I'm admittedly a little rusty on Kodi naming conventions since my movies are all simple MKVs, but I believe that Kodi ignores whatever comes after the year. If so, then perhaps allow the user to insert a ".nocv" before the "-trailer", and CV would then ignore it?

I hope you reach your donation threshold on your web site. CV adds so much to the Kodi experience, and you certainly deserve that and more.
