No, propertie Count is the number of movie in the library/playlist and I don't make the difference between watched or unwatched.

When you set unwatched=True, I only return limit= movies that are unwatched (i.e. playcount > 0).

So I scan movie #1 to movie #Count and if playcount > 0 then I return the movie.

I stop the loop when I reach the end of movies or the number set by limit=

If you want to have the number of unwatched movies, I have to scan all the movies, even if I already have reach the limit= number, to set the unwatched propertie. So I guess the script will be slower.

But I can make a specific version and let you test it.

I will also ask in the JSONRPC thread if a simple way exists.

Version 1.0.5 released.

2 new properties added :

Unwatched to get unwatched number of movies in the library or playlist
Watched to get watched number of movies in the library or playlist

- BigNoid - 2012-02-15

Thx for adding those two properties. I do get an error with the latest version:

Yes bad copy/paste.

Passion repository have been updated. Redownload the ZIP and tell me if it's still KO Sad

- mikebzh44 - 2012-02-15

Small problem with parameter resume=True.

Resumed movies are not well trap so let the parameter to false Sad

- BigNoid - 2012-02-15

All good now Smile

Didn't say i fixed it. Just gave you on how to reproduce Cool
The exception should still be caught by the script Wink

Because when you have a certain smartplaylist with some rules you can get an empty list

we know, that's for tommorowRolleyes

Sure.

Bad news, filtering on partially watched movies will be disable on the next version because of a bug in the JSONRPC API :

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=1019599&postcount=1715

- mikebzh44 - 2012-02-16

Version 1.0.6 released

- [Fix] Handle exception when playlist is empty or fetching information failed
- resume= parameter is disable because of a bug in method GetDirectory of JSONRPC API

For resume= option, if method GetDirectory in JSONRPC API couldn't be fixed, I can work around this problem by making a single request for each movie in the playlist/library, but script will be slower :S

- BigNoid - 2012-02-16

We can use the watchlist script for resumed movies. Imo it's better to have a fast script.

- mikebzh44 - 2012-02-16

Yes but watchlist script will not work on playlist. So you won't be able to display a widget showing partially watched movie in playlist Kids as example.

I can make extra request for each movie only if resume is set to True. So script will run as fast as now when resume is set to False.

Because, I don't known if JSONRPC API will be modified : http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=1019634&postcount=1716
