Help Time based play list?
#1
Is it possible to make a time based playlist in xml?
eg:
if time is >= 17:00:00 & < 17:30:00 then play the oldest (air date) & unwatched episode of Home_Improvement
if time is >= 17:30:00 & < 18:30:00 then play the oldest (air date) & unwatched episode of 30_Rock
''

FYI: Not sure if it matters but I currently have mySQL configured...

How could I implement this feature?
Basically what I want it to make my own tv channel with xbmc...

Have you had a lock at the PseudoTV Script? You can recreate your cable TV setup with it and make many channels.

That looks like a solution but more then I want.


Here is what I got so far in a smart playlist but it does not address time.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
  <name>TV</name>
  <match>all</match>
  <rule field="tvshow" operator="is">Home_Improvement</rule>
  <rule field="playcount" operator="lessthan">1</rule>
  <limit>50</limit>
  <order direction="descending">season</order>
  <order direction="descending">episode</order>
</smartplaylist>

No, smartplaylists cannot use information external to the database (as in what time it is).
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.
