RE: [RELEASE] Random and last items of video smartplaylist script for Skins / Skinners - mikebzh44 - 2012-03-21 15:33
Version 1.1.6 released
As Big_Noid asked, script can get playlist type by reading playlist file.
So you can call the script this way :
Code:
XBMC.RunScript(script.RandomAndLastItems,limit=10,method=Random,playlist=special://masterprofile/playlists/video/children.xsp,menu=Menu1)As my playlist children.xsp is a movie playlist, script will set properties PlaylistRandomMovieMenu1
With a tvshows or episodes playlist, properties are PlaylistRandomEpisodeMenu1.
Caution : If you don't set up playlist= parameter to work on library, you HAVE TO set up type= parameter

Great, thx mikebzh44

Removing type= from the script variable does not work for me. If i adjust the script with this and fill type=Auto in the script parameters all works fine:
Code:
if TYPE == 'Auto' and PLAYLIST != '':
_getPlaylistType ();RE: [RELEASE] Random and last items of video smartplaylist script for Skins / Skinners - mikebzh44 - 2012-03-23 12:38
It"s very strange as in Glass, I can call the script this way :
Quote:XBMC.RunScript(script.randomandlastitems, playlist=$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Men1_Recently_play)], method=$INFO[Skin.String(Widget1_Men1)], limit=10, unwatched=False, resume=False, propertie=PlaylistLastMovieMen1)So with providing playlist= and omitting type= everything work fine

Find for me that it still works better including the variable "type" also easier to find the list for display in widget. Below is TV Episodes working in Convergence with "Ali Later" playlist totals.

Adding propertie= makes it work. Didn't see that was mandatory.

me I use
Code:
<onload condition ="Skin.HasSetting(homepageHideRecentlyMen1Added)">XBMC.RunScript(script.randomandlastitems,playlist=$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Men1_Recently_play)],method=$INFO[Skin.String(Widget1_Men1)],limit=10,unwatched=False,resume=False,type=$INFO[Skin.String(Widget1_Type_Men1)],propertie=PlaylistLastMovieMen1)</onload>with property you can call your list like you want
Code:
<onload condition ="Skin.HasSetting(homepageHideRecentlyMen1Added)">XBMC.RunScript(script.randomandlastitems,playlist=$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Men1_Recently_play)],method=$INFO[Skin.String(Widget1_Men1)],limit=10,unwatched=False,resume=False,type=$INFO[Skin.String(Widget1_Type_Men1)],propertie=MyFirstPlaylist)</onload>Code:
<item id="1">
<label>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.Title)]</label>
<label2>-</label2>
<onclick>PlayMedia($INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.Path)])</onclick>
<icon>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.Thumb)]</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.Fanart)]</thumb>
<property name="MoviePlot">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.Plot)]</property>
<property name="MovieYear">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.Year)]</property>
<property name="MovieRating">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.Rating)]</property>
<property name="RunningTime">$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MyFirstPlaylist.1.RunningTime)]</property>

<property name="Case">$VAR[VideoMovieMovieCase1,ClearCase/,.png]</property>

Yeah it should save some code
RE: [RELEASE] Random and last items of video smartplaylist script for Skins / Skinners - mikebzh44 - 2012-03-23 13:53
Properties name was the problem.
In the script, if propertie= is not set (awfull mistake : 1 property, 2 properties
) properties name is make off PlaylistMethodTypeMenu but Type is unknown at this moment.Glass have no problem because propertie is set to get always the same name even if Method or Type change.
I will fix it on next version.

That propertie= is real nice. And with the automatic playlist detection there only are a few lines to run the script. Very nice
Now when can we expect a push to official repo
I want to add it as a dependency in my skin before I submit it to the repo.
