Ahh this is what I suspected with .m3u files....
.m3u's have been around since the mid 1990's and where first used to create playlists for MP3 Files. Though now a days I've seen quite a few other formats being used. Anyway's it looks like XBMC reads the playlist but then it wants to play the files listed as an AUDIO file. See my log Sad

I created a my .m3u file in the same directory where I had some test downloaded video files that I could use. Told the HTE Script to use the .m3u file itself as the playlist.

.m3u file contents:
Code:
#EXTM3U
gijoetheriseofcobra-tlr1_h640w.mov
jennifersbody-tlrc_h640w.mov

You can see in the log that it tried to load the CDAudioDecoder to play the files listed in the .M3U playlist.

I'm not sure what a vaild Video Playlist that XBMC can handle looks like.
Anyone Else Know?

As a work around, you can always just use some kind of Video Editing software and just join the Videos in the order that you want and create it as 1 video file. Just a thought. I'll dig around and see what a valid video format playlist should look like see what I come up with.

Hope this helps
Cheers

hey guys why the script update tell me that the new version it's incompatible? I've installed this XBMC_PC_23149 isn't the last versione?


- BigBlack - 2009-09-29 12:24

no one know why?


how does it work? - oddity - 2009-10-28 22:34

so can i just confirm:
this script does not make trailers automatically run before any movie that is played - the script only runs from an extra button created in the movie info page? is that correct?

is there any script/plugin/mod which can cause trailers to play automaticaly prior to a movie that is played from the library without having to do anything extra?

pre1014 thanks but I been to that website it does not let you download them just view off the site. I want to have the file so I can add it to my home theater experience I found a site that has them all in individual files but the quality is not that great if anyone is interested here is the link

After installing Alpha2 HTE is no longer working, is this a known problem?


- stealth12 - 2009-11-16 02:37

I am really sorry if this is stupid but i am really confused. After finally figuring out how to install this script i get a message saying i need a newer build of xbmc and that i should update, I just built my media center last week and used the installer available on xbmc.org should this not be the newest on? if not does that means this script only works with the 9.11 alpha? (that wont run my system just crashes Sad ) is there a way to update it to a newer build? i am running 20671 if i remember right i am not at it right now


- chane2k1 - 2009-11-16 05:36

i too am looking for this to be automated. its cumbersome to have to queue the movie then go back and run the script. does anyone know if this is going to be integrated into xbmc or of a windows program that already has this feature.
