[RELEASE] Random and last items smartplaylist script for Skins

mikebzh44 · 2012-07-20 11:17

I wasn't talking about your request but about JSON query (bad translation for me) Tongue

TVShows is the most esay thing to do. I think that before 4:00 PM (French time) I can send you a beta release (send me your email by PM).

For seasons, I have to wait this week-end as on my test PC, I don't have multi-seasons TV Shows (only last season for each TV show) and there is no GetSeasonDetails JSON function so I will have to loop on GetSeasons JSON function result.

This script have to be include by the skinner so ask to Aeon MQ3 skinner to use this script and it's properties to display smart playlists informations.

Or use an other skin like Glass, Aeon Nox 3.5 (still in developpment) or some skin of Butchabay (see his signature above) or Mudislander : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=99839

Getting the following error when using Music > Songs smartplaylists and Frodo nightly. Looks to be an issue with the JSON call? Any ideas? Big Grin

Code:

Don't use Frodo for the moment.

I will install it on my laptop for testing.

Thanks.

Are you using a nightly "XBMCSetup-20120803-ef5fd1c-master" ?
Revert to an older one. Got some other problems as well using that

Need to use Frodo for some of the features added for the skin Im working on. Everything else works in regards to movies and episodes, its just with music that I'm getting the error.

Thanks for looking into it and for the nice script. it's exactly what i needed.

No, using the build from July 20th. Thanks for the heads up though about the new build. I was just about to update.

Having a problem since upgrading skin to Aeon Nox 3.5, with a script error for randomandlastitems.py every time XBMC starts. Debug log here:

Issue is not due to script but to filesystem :

As you can see, you have made a smart playlist for Video Camera and there is some rights problem.

Does your smart playlist can be browse within XBMC ?
