giftie Wrote:I don't think there is a way for XBMC to tag the trailers. There used to be a program called ATD(Apple Trailers Downloader) that would provide an .nfo file that stored scrap-able info. It would be nice to have an addon that automatically downloads Apple Trailers when XBMC is not in use...

I was at the ATD website and it indicated that there were two flags used to crate nfo files for trailers for use in HTE.

--htenfo Writes an nfo file for use with the Home Theater
Experience XBMC script.
--imdb Fetches missing information like MPAA rating from
IMDB. (Slows down parsing)

What is the format of the nfo file that is created? If you are using trailers that are downloaded, where does the MPAA rating come from? I would guess, if there is no NFO file HCE won't know anything about the MPAA rating?

Hi

This add-on is awesome. I have one problem though. I have a song playing while trivia is active however the now playing widget is visible and blocking many of my trivia stills.
How can I disable it while trivia is active?

I'm using the Alaska Revisted skin..

You may want to bring this up in the Alaska thread. I dont think there is much to do on the script side.

Nothing I can do until there a condition that it's running I can use to hide the MusicOverlay.

This is exactly how TvTunes works so skins can hide that info when entering a TV Show using -

PHP Code:
!SubString(Window(videolibrary).Property(TvTunesIsAlive),True)

Thanks.

Has anyone successfully gotten this working on the AppleTV 2? I have it installed, I've added content, but I cannot get it to start - from the add-ons menu or from the movie info screen. I'm using the Alaska Revisited skin.

I have it running on ATV2. The only thing that doesn't work for me on ATV2 is Trivia. But that's cause it wont let me connect to SMB for Trivia. The rest of it its fine. It is probably skin related that you can't get it to start. I use Night (SVN) on all my XBMC's.

I guess I had missed this conversion.. Thanks for the catch as well on the <allowoverlay></allowoverlay> as well.

Is there anyway for this script to trigger actions with eventghost? i.e. Dim lights, etc?

I believe the original version had an option to run a script before the movie, but it isn't currently implemented.

I'm not sure how eventghost works, can you use it to send codes to an IR emitter? I've been considering adding a USB IR emitter like this one. I assumed you'd then just need a python script triggered by Cinema Experience to send the necessary codes.

It can send ir and x10 and a variety of protocols. I think there may be another plugin somewhere that can broadcast events based on playing media, so for example merely playing a movie could trigger the event, so that this script would not need to.

However, it would be much better if it could Smile

Hi giftie,

no problem...

what about joining this google code project in order to commit updated strings in english?
This makes it easier for us to translate...

cheers,

Hello, how are you'll doing this with trailers. When I set it up with the apple trailer script it works fine, but it keeps buffering. I've set my trailers to 720p, I have a very speedy broadband connection (60 Mbit) but I cant watch this. I can offcourse go for lower quality, but I dont like that much.

Or should I mannually download lots of trailers every once in a while?
