./home/Cinema/Triva/Q&A
./home/Cinema/Triva/Slides
but cant get the slides to work I kept them in the folder I downloaded so in Slides folder theres Blockbusters folder and in Q&A I have Actor Scramble, Frame by Frame and Guess Who
in the Triva setup I pointed CE to ./home/Cinema/Triva/Q&A and ./home/Cinema/Triva/Slides nothing loaded just skipped it altogether so then tried ./home/Cinema/Triva/Q&A/Frame by Frame, which didn't work the slides.xml is there then tried ./home/Cinema/Triva/Slides/Blockbusters but nothing.
are all the files just meant to be in Q&A or Slides without the subfolders?
Not sure what you've tried so far but here are the steps I took that worked for me when I was having the same issue...
As
RagnaroktA already said, make sure CE points to the Trivia folder. It will scan your Q&A and Stills folders recursively so it's fine to have the slide folders within the Q&A folder. For example if you were using the actor scramble pack you would have:
Trivia ---> Q&A --> Actor Scramble --> individual slides w/ slides.xml file
The slides.xml file goes in each folder that contains your slides (one for Actor Scramble, one for Guess Who, etc.) and you have to make sure that your xml file is accurate to the slides you are using. Just to make sure its not an MPAA restriction issue, set the rating in the xml file to "G" to ensure it is used regardless. Then check the naming structure listed in the file and compare it to the slides you're using. Make sure the extension is correct ( .jpg .png .etc) and assuming you're using standard a/b slides you need to adjust the naming structure in slides.xml to match the files so if the files read something like
slide01_a /
slide01_b, the xml file should read
question format=".+_a.jpg" /
answer format=".+_b.jpg" ...if your xml file looks like this but your slides don't have the underscore, CE won't read them properly. Here is the correct slides.xml file for the actor scramble pack:
Code:
<slides>
<slide>
<slide rating="G">
<question format=".+_a.jpg" />
<clue format="N/A" />
<answer format=".+_b.jpg" />
</slide>
</slides>
Assuming that's correct, CE was crashing for me still but
giftie steered me in the right direction:

Cheers!
The folder path is...
Code:
~/.xbmc/addons/script.cinema.experience/resources/skins
Yeah I got my head out of my ass and figured out the answer to my stupid question, lol. Thanks for the help though!
Cheers!
So navigate to
~/.xbmc/addons/script.cinema.experience/resources/skins and change the folder
default to
Default:
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/script.cinema.experience/resources/skins
ls
make sure the the folder 'default' is there
mv default Default
ls
ensure folder is now name Default
Then do a proper reboot and see if that works (as it did for me).
Hope this helps!
