Cinema Experience, Home Automation bug

For some reason the triggers of the home automation script seem to be
inaccurate when running on my Home Theater. For example, when the trailers
end, nothing should be triggered, according to my settings. However, even
before the audio logo movie and the countdown movie are played, the
trigger 'Movie' is already triggered. As you can see, it is triggered too
early. I found something in my log file that may be useful.

messy_exit: Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit


Since it seems to stop with 'messy_exit', I think the 'Script End' trigger
never gets triggered, because it cannot be found anywhere in my log file.
But of course you're the experts here, so I am not sure...

I'm using XBMC 12.2 Frodo, running on OpenELEC 3.2.2. The addon version is
3.0.6. I also tried a rollback to 3.0.4, with the same result.

Summary of my experiences:
- Inaccurate triggers
- Missing triggers (from trigger list?)

I hope I'm not wasting your time and this will help you out solving the
bug, if it is indeed one. Good luck to all of you, your work is much
appreciated! :)

Hello developers,

I did some research about the problem. In the cinema experience script I
added a few rows of code to log every item in the playlist when the
playlist is loaded and played. This is the result:

Here are the contents of the automatic generated triggers_list.txt:
['Movie Theater Intro', 'Coming Attractions Intro', 'Movie
Trailer', 'Movie Trailer', 'Movie Trailer', 'Coming Attractions
Outro', 'Countdown', 'Movie']

Actually, the trigger list is right, because there are only 8 items.
However, the first item is a .pls-playlist with three items for the Movie
Theater Intro part, which gets 'extracted' and replaces the first item,
resulting in 2 more items in the playlist (index 1 and 2). At the end it
tries to retrieve index 8 and 9 in trigger_list.txt, but results in
an 'list index out of range' error, because they simply don't exist. I
personally think that this is the problem of the missing triggers part.

When it reaches the Coming Attractions Outro (right before my Countdown
video: the THX logo, with playlist index 9), both the playlist and the
trigger list reach index 7. Again, I personally think that is why my
triggers are inaccurate: the trigger list is always 2 triggers (in my case)
ahead of my playlist.

So, back to the actual problem... It seems that either the Movie Theater
Intro playlist specific or a multiple item playlist in general
gets 'extracted' into seperated movie files and the trigger list does not
anticipate on this behavior.

Just some thoughts, I hope it will help a bit more to get to the problem. :)
