Issues with Feature Module

[roland 0]

Hello Ragnarok,

i am also a new user of kodi and cinema vision. I come from Berlin an my english is not the best but i try to explain my problem.

I installed CV. I  tried to test a simple Sequence :  1. an Video of an Courtain  (runs well)  2. Trailer (runs well) and 3. The Feature (does not start) but i get the Message  "This is a Placeholder for the Feature.

I started ist from the Information Screen of the Movie where Cinema Vison can be started. I am Using the skin Aeon Nox.

What ca be the Reason ?

Greetings from Berlin  from Roland

Think I may have identified our issue. I found this line in your log:

14:20:48 T:18446744071992941312  NOTICE: virtual void CExternalPlayer::Process(): Player : com.himedia.xbmcwrapper
14:20:48 T:18446744071992941312  NOTICE: virtual BOOL CExternalPlayer::ExecuteAppAndroid(const char*, const char*): com.himedia.xbmcwrapper

That tells me you're using a HiMedia device, and the HiMedia external player instead of the two players that currently work with CinemaVision. VideoPlayer, which is the Kodi default player, and DSPlayer, an enhanced player that was modified to work with CinemaVision. We've had a few folks that use HiMedia devices complain, and the only solution we found was to switch back to the default Kodi player. The other option is to engage HiMedia to modify their player in the same way that the developers of DSPlayer modified their player to work more like the default Kodi player instead of in a non-standard way.

In our experience, the majority of external or non-standard players don't work with CinemaVision because they fundamentally change the way that queueing and playback work, and are not something that we can manipulate in the same way that we can the default player. In an effort to simplify development and support, we chose to only support the default Kodi player, which as of Kodi 17 will be lightyears better than the HiMedia player anyway. I'd suggest changing the default player and seeing how that goes. Let me know!

Hey Roland! So that error could be a few things, but the most likely culprit is that the feature presentation you've chosen isn't being passed to the script, or if CV is still in Demo Mode. Try to run CV using the CinemaVision Launcher and let me know what the results of that are. Barring that telling us anything, use the post below to upload your log for us to review.

Hey there! We need a little more information from you. Please follow this guide to upload your debug log for us to review:

Hi Ragnarok,

thx for your fast response

I tried to start from the Launcher.  I hope i did it right. I go to the CV add on, i type c, and then play. the same happens. Single File is played, Trailer is beeing played. then this massage comes again and again:

Ah! I see what's happening here. Check out this guide:

The way you're launching will work as long as you have a movie queued first, otherwise it shows that placeholder. It's more a way to test your Sequence.  There are much more seamless ways to launch CinemaVision directly from your library. Hopefully, the guide translates to German well.

Hi ragnarok,

i deinstalled cv , and installed new. then i created a new sequence only with one video file as an intro and then the movie... and its running well :))))

great!  in second i tried to add a trailer, but somehow this went wrong. but i dont worrie. i think i will get this also. it is possible to get trailers from the internet right and not from a folder on the hdd right  ?

thx for your support  !!!

You might be running into the iTunes bug, but that will be fixed if you install the development release from the website.

hmmm this is strange to me.

it goes right only if i put in a sequence with 1 single video file an then the Movie.

if i put in a second single file or i try to put in a trailer it does not go. strange....

Do me a favor... install this:

Then follow this guide and use the CinemaVision Launcher (context menu) on a locally stored movie in your library to launch the experience:

If you're still running into problems with your Sequence, follow this guide:

I'm probably going to need a log from you to figure out what's going on, then.

You're very welcome. We're here to help.  So to be honest, I don't know much about their players and don't want to steer you in the wrong direction. I know how to change the player for Kodi, but that involves editing some files. Since I know HiMedia changes quite a bit about the platform, I'd suggest you reach out to them and ask about how to change the default player from HiMedia to Kodi's default.
