How to play an Album or Artist? - eumel - 2010-01-10
Hi
I had an Idea, that the User of a skin can set quicklinks on the Homepage, to play Music or Video.
But i want that he can choose different types of content, so he can play his Favourites direct per quicklink from the Homepage.
I know how i can play a single Song or Video, but how can i play an Album, complete Artist, or TvShow, or Season.
Something like:
PlayMedia(musicdb://3/949/) for an Album
PlayMedia(Skin.String(Favourite_One))
or: (with two or three onclick commands)
AddtoPlaylist(musicdb://3/949/)
PlayerControl(RandomOn)
PlayerControl(Play)
is something like that possible, or exist?
ps.: sorry that i ask too many questions

If the above is not possible.
Maybe it is possible to add a function, to open an Album direct per link?
like that:
Quote:ActivateWindow(musiclibrary,musicdb://3/949/3/)the same for Folder on the Harddisk (Picture Folder)
so that the Album is opening in the set viewtype container?

But now i can't get the info (example: "musicdb://3/949/") about an album in a list container. (i believe it was available in ealier builds of xbmc)
Is it possible to get an Infolabel for that info, something like "listitem.path" for albums and artists?
Then i can add a feature to set Favourite Artists and Albums to the Homepage, as quicklink.
thanks eumel
