Wanna Play a Movie

Question

I'm hoping this is a forum to help complete novices. I need to play a film (movie). I have a custom built cinema at home and have just been introduced to CinemaVision and i am amazed how simple it is for a thicko like me to set up. I have an introduction to my cinema, followed by a Pearl & Dean intro, random choice of 3 cinema adverts (from a file containing 200), ice cream and soft drinks adds, then a coming soon to Screen 9 intro, 3 trailers, switch off your mobiles and then NOTHING when i play from the add on. When I play the movie (film) in the Back Row kodi skin CinemaVision doesn't work at all, simply goes straight to the film (does work in Cinema Experience). I have spent hours trying to get this to work - P:LEASE help!

Okay, I think CV should be compatible since Kodi 14.  So everything is playing fine with exception of your feature module using the default Kodi skin and launcher?  The reason I ask is because you mentioned CV doesn't work at all with the Back Row skin, which I'm not familiar with.  My suggestion would be try to get it working with the default skin first, then try and transition to another.  It may not be supported by a particular skin.

Thanks OTA. But I've tried various skins, including the Kodi default - nothing! Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Like I said, wen I click on "play" in CinemaVision, my whole sequence works and when the sequence gets to the Feature (F), the CinemaVision default page is displayed followed by the rest of my sequence (walk out video clip); it works perfect every time!

Sorry about the wait.  Had computer issues.  So I compared your log to mine after turning on debug mode.  My first suggestion would be to remove any add-ons that may be giving you a problem.  I noticed this, but is likely not what's causing the playback issue with CV.  You may want to consider uninstalling Kodi and installing it fresh just to make sure it runs clean natively.

I can't really tell what you were trying to watch from the logs, so I picked the last thing it looked like you were trying to watch.  At first I thought it may have been the file name giving CV an issue, but it looks like you've tried other movies without brackets, etc.  I can't honestly see where the issue is.  I've posed up an example of what mine looks like for comparison, but I'm running a newer version of Kodi on a different OS so I'm not sure how helpful it will be.
