Play next item in List

captainloc · 2012-02-20 03:02

Hi,

I'm a begginner in Python and XBMC and i would like to make some improvements to my first plugin. For now, i'm getting a list of files from a XML file. I'm adding each elements with this function :

Code:

def addLink(name,url,iconimage):

        ok=True

        liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage="DefaultVideo.png", thumbnailImage=iconimage)

        liz.setInfo( type="Video", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )

        liz.setProperty('IsPlayable', 'true')

        ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=url,listitem=liz)

        return ok

I would like to be able to jump to the next file in the list automatically at the end of the playback or pressing the next button. Is there a way to do it ?
Thanks a lot

Loc

XBMC will do that automatically for you assuming you are writing an audio plugin? You could try setting provides to audio to see if that will do it.

Hey,

Thanks for your answer.
It's not an audio plugin but a video plugin Sad

and it's not doing it automatically. When i press next, XBMC told me that it's not a playlist

If you change it to an audio plugin (it can still serve up videos) see if that will do it automatically.

Actually no, it didn't work on all plateform. On my Mac it's ok, but on my AppleTV which is the final destination of my plugin, it's not working.

Do you have any idea how to do it properly ?

I am having the same issue - no matter what I try the next item in the list will not be queued. I verified my XBMC settings. I even tried pulling the final URL destination using urllib2 (since the URL i'm scraping involves a re-direct) and giving that to the item. The scraping of the redirection added a long delay, and ended up not solving it.

I've also added in xbmcplugin.setContent(content="audio") tags throughout items, and folder structures. The addon.xml is advertising it provides audio. Not sure what else to do. I did read one forum post that indicated they were able to get around the bug by using setresolvedURL commands, but I couldn't make that work at all.

I pull in a json file, parse it, clean it up, and then decode it. I'm sure there are better ways, but I've (just now) taught myself some python basics.

Relevant snippits of code:

Code:

def INDEX(url):

    req = urllib2.Request(url)

    req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3')

    response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

    raw_json=response.read()

    response.close()

    parsed_json=json.loads(raw_json)

    del parsed_json['version']

    print 'Parsed_Json_output'

    decoded_json =_decode_dict(parsed_json)

    print 'decoded_json_output'

    playlist = sortedDictValues1(decoded_json)

    print 'Sorted_playlist_output'

    xbmcplugin.setContent(handle=int(sys.argv[1]), content="audio" )

    for x in playlist:

        artist = x['artist']

        title = x['title']

        url = x['stream_pub']

        thumb = x['thumb_url_large']

        name = artist + ' - ' + title

        addLink(name,url,thumb)

Code:

def addLink(name,url,iconimage):

    xbmcplugin.setContent(handle=int(sys.argv[1]), content="audio" )

    ok=True

    liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(label=name,thumbnailImage=iconimage, path=url)

    liz.setProperty("mimetype", 'audio/mpeg')

    liz.setInfo("music", {"title": name,})

    liz.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')

    ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=url,listitem=liz,isFolder=False)

    return ok

def addDir(name,url,mode,iconimage):

    xbmcplugin.setContent(handle=int(sys.argv[1]), content="audio" )

    u=sys.argv[0]+"?url="+urllib.quote_plus(url)+"&mode="+str(mode)+"&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)

    ok=True

    liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name,iconImage="DefaultFolder.png",thumbnailImage=iconimage)

    liz.setInfo( type="music", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )

    liz.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')

    ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=u,listitem=liz,isFolder=True)

    return ok

If it didn't work on your ATV, then that suggests your ATV has an older version of XBMC. IIRC it was fixed in one of the beta's (b2 maybe?)
