OK I’ll check

One other thing I noticed tonight (on the most recent beta), the global Home Screen hotkey is not working from library view. Go one step deeper into the movie info and it works fine. It also doesn’t work while in media playback. If you are on the Home Screen, in say the movie hub a few rows down, it also does nothing.
Personally I’d prefer if it worked everywhere. I like having it as part of my shutdown script.

Yes, exactly, I noticed that the hotkey doesn’t work everywhere. Likewise, unfortunately not with the HDMI-CEC Sony Bluetooth remote control on the Shield. Presumably because the remote control is not connected to the Bluetooth of the Shield, but to the Bluetooth of the TV. So I can program the hotkey in the PM4K of the TV, but not on the Shield.
Or I would then have to use the Shield remote control.

Im using PM4K on my XSX. Maybe a stupid question but how can I get beta updates?
Download the latest script.plexmod.zip beta file from panni, than go in Kodi and install the zip.

Do what @City-Cobra wrote, then in PM4Ks settings set the update source to Beta and you’ll get updates in the future without manual installation.
Weird. I’ve just tried this and the returned image is almost the same for movie posters and collections, but the endpoint we query is different. I can’t make out any quality differences on collection posters.
Have you tried deleting Textures13.db as well as the content of userdata/Thumbnails?
Edit: The returned images differ slightly in height; maybe that’s the source of the issue (and results in bad vertical scaling). I’ll need your confirmations that this still happens after clearing the above
I did delete that db file and the entire cache several times when I was trying to work out if it was an error on my part. Thanks for looking into it.
A vertical scaling issue would make sense. The results do look like that.
Likewise, I had deleted both of those several times as well. I just did again, and rebooted. No change. Note that some are better than others. It just looks like some are higher Rez files and the low Rez get really Janky.
Hi everyone!
Am I the only one experiencing severe audio sync issues on webos after pausing or seeking?
I’m on an LG C3 (no sound system, using the built in speakers), Kodi 21.2 built by me (things were the same with 21.0 built by the dev team) using PM4K 0.8.0-beta8.1 but it was the same with 0.7.9-rev4.
Tried everything I could find/think of both on TV/Kodi/addon level but nothing worked.
I’m asking here because this issue is not present if I play the file directly in Kodi through DLNA, nor in the Plex webos client, nor in Kodi through PKC addon, only if I play it through PM4K.
If it’s a new issue I can elaborate the symptoms and make further testing, otherwise I would really appreciate some idea on how to solve this.
I know I’m missing something obvious, but I cannot find where to set the update source to beta. I also can’t figure out how to customize the home screen or how to find Collections. Maybe I just need stronger coffee this morning.
A few pointers @orrkis, in case the coffee hasn’t worked. Open the add-on and click on your username. Go to settings then system. The third box down is Update source. Set it to beta.
Long press on one of your libraries or Home to reveal their respective customisation options.
I don’t do collections so you’re at the mercy of others.

I believe you have to first install the beta version linked in this thread, if you haven’t already, in order to get the setting to set your update preference.
As far as customizing the Home Screen, there isn’t a lot you can do right now outside of hiding sections by long clicking on them. I believe it’s on the roadmap for the future.

This sounds like the issue we had with CoreELEC. Can you DM me your debug logs (set PM4K to DEBUG-logging in its settings, then reproduce)?
Yes, if it’s the same issue as with CoreELEC, the Kodi implementation on your system doesn’t properly handle Python-side seeking. We have a workaround for that, which itself is questionable as well. It doesn’t apply to your system yet (it’s specifically only enabled when CoreELEC is detected).
Once I have your logs, I can get you a build with the CE fix enabled in general, so we can debug this.
Edit: The CE fix isn’t specifically for audio sync issues, but for audio dropouts after seeking. It might be the same root cause, though (badly implemented player handling in the Kodi build of that OS)
Thanks! This option was not present in the beta version I installed, but it IS there now that I installed the latest beta.
It’s been present in all betas since November

Hi, CPM build A13 (based on CE 21.2) is out, and I noticed that the in the PlayerProcessInfo screen at the Player / Audio encoding, there is [COLOR lightgr…] shown. In A12 version (based on CE 21.1.1) it shows properly with (I think in green color) the “ATMOS” text.
Would it be possible please to update Plextuary CPM skin to A13?
Thank you.
ps.
Attached a picture what I mean:

Don’t mean to be pedantic but it’s only a pre-release version of A13 which is out. It’s been released for testing and debugging.
Yeah, but I don’t think this skin related change will be different in a non-prerelease version. I am not even sure if the bug I reported is CPM specific issue or was introduced by CE 21.2 (which is not a prerelease).
In any case, it was more like a heads up that something is wrong, and there is no expectation that it will be fixed with priority.
Something like that happens too sometimes, not sure if it’s exactly the same phenomenon.
I will make those debug logs and send it to you soon.
0.8.0-beta9: script.plexmod.zip (3.1 MB)
- NowPlayingManager/SeekDialog: Fully reset NowPlayingManager when sending the final timeline for our current item, before queueing next
- Player/VideoPlayer/Cache: Correctly clear cache when watching multiple episodes in a row
- CoreELEC/Player: onAVStarted: Try querying the Kodi API for the current Player multiple times (up to 5 seconds) instead of failing immediately
- SeekDialog/Player: Further optimize selecting specific items from the active playlist during playback
- Dropdowns: Unify dropdown behaviour: always allow round-robin on any dropdown; default close behaviour is pressing left or BACK/PREVIOUS_MENU
- SeekHandler/CoreELEC: Don’t react to seek events when player is stopped (e.g. final credits skip)
- Core/Poster dimensions: Use 268x402 (0.66 ratio) for poster base resolution instead of 268x397 (0.675 ratio); unifies vertical scaling for posters and collection art
- Core/Posters/Collections: Unify API parameters to transcode endpoint with PlexWeb
- Core/Posters/Collections: Request composite collection image with twice the configured size, then pass it through the transcode endpoint with the requested size
- Player/SeekDialog: Optimize prev/next/playAt handling; fix playing items from in-player playlist dialog; don’t keep playlist dialog reference
- Seasons: Mark season Played now properly clears the caches as well
- Core/Caching: Move duplicated Show/Season.clearCache to CachableItemsMixin
- Player: Make sure the dialog exists when trying to store seekOnStart value (should be unnecessary but doesn’t hurt, either)
- Home: Fix rare last-selected reselect error
- Player/SeekDialog: Unify credits marker handling for auto marker skip and manual marker skip (final credits marker with sufficient endTime ends the video immediately instead of lingering for a couple of seconds before the end, when binge mode/auto skip isn’t active)
- Episodes: Make sure we use a copy of our video progress dict, as it might’ve been emptied once we access it
- Episodes: Make sure to use the selected episode’s progress for the main progress bar
- Player: Always trigger episode progress event (was partially broken with post-play enabled under certain circumstances)
There are a lot of under-the-hood stability changes and refactorings involved, so keep an eye out for bugs!
