- xsintill - 2004-03-20 a variation on a script just released by alx5962 is to play a playlist Quote:import xbmc - Vortex - 2004-03-20 it works! excellent! thank you for that! i added a pls.shuffle() before the play line to have nice random songs on boot. i didn't know if that would work, or if the command existed, but it did lol. - gameloader - 2004-03-21 this is an awsome idea.... can you possibly post a link were i can download the script and how do i use it? - Nickman - 2004-03-21 (gameloader @ mar. 21 2004,09:15 Wrote:this is an awsome idea.... can you possibly post a link were i can download the script and how do i use it? alx5962 python scripts download copy to your xbmc/scripts folder and in the menu settings/scripts select the script. - xsintill - 2004-03-21 or you can create the files yourself.. they are normal textfiles but with a .py extension. they should be put in the scripts directory in xbmc's 'home' directory. one file should be named autoexec.py and have the following code in it: Quote:import xbmc and the other one should be named autoplay.py and have the following code in it: Quote: - Zeba - 2004-04-17 hi, can someone help me out. i'm new to these python scripts. i can't get the playlist to play.. i didn't quite understand " ## load non!? xbmc playlist into xbmc's playlist m3u and pls work " i made the playlist with xbmc? wrong? then i edited the script in autoplay.py to: Quote:pls.load("f://apps/xbmc/albums/playlists/pl.m3u") so is there something wrong with that? i have a xbmc from 2004-04-13 i have also extracted the python.rar into the /python dir. and i've put the .py files in the /scrpits dir. thanx! - xsintill - 2004-04-17 zeba you should change it to the following: Quote:pls.load("q:\\albums\\playlists\\pl.m3u")q: stands for the homedirectory of xbmc. if you have more than 1 xbmc locations on your drive and want to access a playlist created with a different xbmc than where you are executing this script from use the following: Quote:pls.load("f:\\apps\\xbmc\\albums\\playlists\\pl.m3u") when using filenames locally you should use this slash \ instead of / because slashes within strings are escape codes you have to put another one behind it - SpaceFrog - 2004-04-29 forkin sweet mayte!!!! this is what i've wanted for about 3 months!! i asked around on forums (can't remember if i posted here or not) but didnt get anything helpful at all. this works pretty damn good, it's for my car mp3 player and, most of the time i can't be stuffed fiddling with the xbox remote to load up a song, i just want to turn on my car and xbox and go. i'm not sure if i will need to do this but.... does any1 know how to go about making it play a random playlist? right now i've got mine set to shuffle the big playlist of all my songs on the xbox b4 playing. but it mixes genre's too much i reckon, was thinking of making a few playlists for different genre's - xsintill - 2004-04-29 @SpaceFrog if i understand you correctly you have a collection of playlists and you want xbmc to pick a random playlist. do the following: Quote:import xbmc ,xbmcgui,randomif you want more playlists just add another pair to dic but make sure you don't create gaps so the next new pair should be Quote: , 4:"playlistfilename"and not Quote:,5:"playlistfilename" - NizZ8 - 2004-05-05 sweeet!!!! i hear ya on this one spacefrog.. very happy to see this util!. do you have some pix of the setup in your car/truck? i'd be interested to see how your setup looks! - NizZ8 - 2004-05-14 q for you guys, what would be the best way to impliment the following: 1) play a startup intro song 2) when that file is done playing -> load playlist -- 3) shuffle playlist 4) play a song from the playlist so parts 3-4 are taken care of already using this script.. i wasn't sure how to impliment steps 1 and 2.. i tried the wait() function for the lenght of the startup file, but couldn't get it to work. any ideas? thanks! -n8 - NizZ8 - 2004-05-16 i figured it out.. i flipped around the code and now it works great! Quote:import xbmc so now my truck on startup: 1) plays the startup.mp3 file 2) loads the playlist 3) shuffles 4) plays a song cool beans! - Kudos - 2004-05-25 i was trying to mod the original script also, glad to see you pulled it off, saves me some time :d /kudos - kazor - 2004-06-03 make your xbox auto-powerup ! regarding the auto startup scripts i have put the same scripts in my xbox with the purpose to startup & start playing mp3's in my car. (stuff screwin with the menus everytime you start the car) thanks guys for the script tips, mine now works great too now i worked out the python code. i run my xbox on a 300w peak pure sine wave inverter (it draws about 6amps at 12v). its from jaycar in australia and has no fan so it's sealed , quiet and doesn't seem to get warm either although put it in a place that the heatsink can get some sort of convection. but to get to the main point regarding the auto-poweron, if you connect a 33uf electrolytic capacitor across the power button on the front of the xbox the characteristic of the capacitor simulates a power button push nicely. just make sure you check the polarity on the button with a multi meter even though it's unlikely to damage the capacitor at 3.3 odd volts, it'll save you having future problems scredded paper style...:p. if you then put a push button in parallel with the capacitor as well (assuming you run a wire to the an accessable location in the car) you can also re-power should the xbox crash. hope this helps, thanks guys for xbmc - awesome effort ! cheers kazor - NizZ8 - 2004-06-06 (kudos @ may 25 2004,16:06 Wrote:i was trying to mod the original script also, glad to see you pulled it off, saves me some time :dhappy to help out! kazor: cool stuff! i currently just power my xbox on using the xir kit (dvd remote) that greengiant sells. i pull my xbox out of my truck on a regular basis, and wanted to keep the connections between my xbox-> truck (video/power/controllers etc..) to a minimum. |
