Picture slideshow from video addon? - xbmc007 - 2013-07-16
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but could not find the answer on the forum or in the code for the picture plugins
In Eden, I was able to run the below code (from a video plugin) to start an image slideshow of images from the web:
Code:
xbmc.executebuiltin("ClearSlideshow")
itemCount=0
for item in items:
itemCount=itemCount+1
label, url = getItemFields(item)
if url is not None and url != '':
print ("adding to slideshow: " + url)
xbmc.executebuiltin("AddToSlideshow(%s)" % url)
print "# of pictures added to sideshow " + str(itemCount)
xbmc.executebuiltin( "SlideShow(,,notrandom)" )In Frodo it doesn't:
Code:
ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting plugin:// blah blah
ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(plugin:// blah blahWhat would the equivalents command of "ClearSlideshow", "AddToSlideshow" and "SlideShow" be for Frodo?

Thanks I had seen the first one but it seems to be about a slideshow of images in a local dir not a slideshow of http links. I guess one option is to download them locally and play from there.
From the second link it looks like this functionality won't be there until Gotham.
If anyone was able to get this to work in Frodo, any pointers would be appreciated.
