Random Movie script for skins

No it's not, seeing your screenshot you have a very old version 1.2.6

No need to download separately, just install cirrus extended v2 via my repository or xbmc passion repo.

OK - just to be clear, this script does not and should not appear in your Addons menu within the skin.

Looks like you're using the wrong skin - see Butchabay's post.

Cirrus Extended v2 includes a submenu in Movies called "Random Movie" which will only be visible if the script is installed.

Ok, I think now I got it.

I downloaded the random movie addon (pre-eden) and the "xbmc-repository-butchabay" to install the cirrus v2. Done.

Now I can see the random movie column, but when I click it, nothing is happening but the question for the unwatched movies. What could be the problem?

Thanks for help!

OK - I'm going to need some more info to help out here.

Did it give you an error message when you tried to run it? If so, can you take a look at your xbmc.log file, which I think should be in the xbmc folder (the level above the addons folder), and post the error message.

Have you got movies scanned to your library? The script will not work on movies that are only visible in File Mode.

I have a lot of movies scanned in my library, they are detected and I can play them without any problems, even in the cirrus skin.

But when I press the button "random movie" or "random genre", he just asks me to conclude the watched movies or not, and after pressing yes or no, nothing happens without any error message. No Crash to desktop or anything like this.

Do you still want the log? I can upload it for you!

Thanks again for all the help!

implemented your script in Nox so that both script calls (with/without genre filter) can easily be attached to any main/sub menu item or to any item in Navigation Sidebar. thx

It may not crash - but if it's not playing a film, then I'd expect an error notification to be displayed by XBMC.

So yes, please send me the log - I don't want the whole log! Do a search for "script.randommovie" and see what comes up!

I should really implement some debugging capability into my scripts...

Excellent, glad you got it working.

Sure you've downloaded the script for eden? There are 2 Versions of the script, dharma and eden!

For some reason the script works perfectly fine now. Thanks for all your help, I am glad that I have the chance to enjoy the script now!

Hey handsome

Paul has just added this Script to the wonderful Refocus mod he has created

And i remember (at least I think I do) a feature being discussed that included the ability to play 3 random trailers from the users library, then on completion of all 3 (or each) trailer, the user was thrn presented with the choice of which movie to watch.

Have I dreamt of such a feature, or we're your magical hands indeed working on such trickery
