Hey James,

Sorry it took a few days but been very busy at work ... so here goes :

Most of the stuff I gathered so far (rougly 6GB of intermission, commercials, THX, Dolby, IMAX, etc ... movies/cutscenes/intro's/outro's, .... etc) I found on this page on the XBMC forums : http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=664141&postcount=2

Basicly it's the 2nd post in the main RELEASE thread of Cinema Experience and can be found under
XBMC Community Forum > Help and Support > Plugin/Script (Python) Addons Help and Support -> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=87563

Be sure to also check :

http://www.demo-world.eu/logos/
http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/
http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php

Basicly check the entire http://www.demo-world.eu site just amazing stuff there, also good info about setting up your own home cinema etc ...

Then you got Gigabytes on cool stuff in here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=69270 (your simpson video is in here somewhere )

basicly it all comes from the very first URL I linked in this post, all comes from the RELEASE thread of cinema experience on the xbmc forums.

Hope this gets you started. I'm still busy looking at all of it, and I'll try and throw away the stuff I don't want, reorganise it abit and search for even more stuff once I've settled abit with this content :p

PS : Any news yet from Giftie ? on the xbmc forums ?
PPS : Using Chrome now, works like a charm

Auri,

VC 0.872 running on windows7 ultimate x64

I Created this file cinema.xml, and put in
C:\Users\Wanilton\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\keymaps
with
<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <key id="0x30">XBMC.RunScript(special://home/addons/script.cinema.experience/addon.py)</key>
      <key id="0x31">Info</key>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

However, I can not run the addon using ^D by sendkeys

Even using the keyboard with Ctrl D work, so I think it could be something related to the location where you installed the addon, or something.

Looks OK to me, though try with "^d" instead of capital D :

Code: [Select]

            <action>
                <cmdType>SendKeys</cmdType>
                <cmdString>^d</cmdString>
                <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
            </action>
Let me know if it works!

Hey Wanilton,

Forget about that keymapping there.
What I told you, when I answered your PM is in fact wrong and was something I tried before I got mine working, so forget the keymappings as I explained you.

I will tell you exactly what todo now to make it work.

1. The VC part you have correct except make it "^d" instead of "^D" dunno if XBMC is case-sensative in that aspect.
2. Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\keymaps" and open the default XML for your controller, in my case keyboard.xml
3. Search for "<MovieInformation>"
4. replace this line "      <d mod="ctrl">XBMC.RunScript(special://home/addons/script.cinema.experience/addon.py)</d>" (originally it will also say "info" or "close" but just replace it with what I posted here)
5. It should now look like this :

Code: [Select]

  <MovieInformation>
    <keyboard>
      <backspace>Close</backspace>
      <i>Close</i>
      <d mod="ctrl">XBMC.RunScript(special://home/addons/script.cinema.experience/addon.py)</d>
      <key id='65446'>Close</key>
    </keyboard>
Now I would advice you to restart XBMC (perhaps not needed, but do it anyways)
VC will now send a CTRL+d on your command and while you have XBMC focused and you are in the Movie Information Screen it should now execute the script "XBMC.RunScript(special://home/addons/script.cinema.experience/addon.py" which will in fact start your Cinema Experience

I hope it works, and sorry for the confusing in my PM reply to you, I was at work and was thinking about something else.

best of luck

BTW if you are intrested in manipulating default keybindings or making your own and overwrite the defaults, this is a very good source to find all the codes and modifiers needed :

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Keymap.xml

It will explain keynames, keyids and keyname mods

Good luck.

[Wanilton]

it´s ok now

[Auri]

Ok forget VC for a second, if you are in the movie information windows of a certain movie, and you press CTRL+d what happends then ?
Does Cinema Experience launch ?

[Wanilton]

the problem was the configuration of the plugin, it´s ok now.

Wanilton,
Concerning the keybinding one last time, James told me a few posts ago here that he might be able to go directly to the cinema script without going to the Movie Info screen.
I don't know if he will do it or not, but it'll be nice if he could find a way.

Regards
Auri

I think it's possible, but only with a change in the addon that should happen soon, now it only works on screen info. The limitation is the addon, because the skin aeonMQ is easy to create a shortcut to this addon, both in the main menu as a submenu for movies. Not to mention that calling addon on the vox, it is also easy.
 

[jitterjames]

the only way to go directly to the CE from the Movie Browsing window would be with a macro that first opens the info window and then starts the addon.  You might also need to put a pause in to give xbmc enough time to open the info window.

For the record, I don't think I ever said anything about being able to do this.  Wanilton said that it would be possible in the new version of the addon which was coming out soon.  Note that it is also possible to open CE from the info window without having to remap keys, by using xbmc.execbuiltint command from VC to call the addon script.
