Setting info for a listItem?

Popeye · 2012-04-26 11:24

Background; The xbmc library has strm files with plugin:// url's to my addon. When selecting a strm file from the library view I want my addon to catch the selected list item and change the playcount of the item.

Using:

Code:

print xbmc.getInfoLabel( "ListItem.Title" )

In my code prints the list Items label.Meaning xbmc has in someway information on the just accessed listItem.
However when trying to change the info with this code:

Code:

win = xbmcgui.Window(xbmcgui.getCurrentWindowId())

                focus_id = win.getFocusId()

                # DEBUG just to get some feedback

                print focus_id

                print str(win.getControl( focus_id ).getSelectedPosition())

                print win.getFocus().getSelectedPosition()

                #

                win.getFocus().getSelectedItem().setInfo('video', { playcount: 1 })

Just results in:

Code:

00:16:20 T:4216  NOTICE: 50

00:16:20 T:4216  NOTICE: -1

00:16:20 T:4216  NOTICE: -1

00:16:20 T:4216   ERROR: Error Type: <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>

00:16:20 T:4216   ERROR: Error Contents: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setInfo'

00:16:20 T:4216   ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

                                              File "C:\Users\Popeye\XBMC\portable_data\addons\xbmc-pneumatic\default.py", line 804, in <module>

                                                win.getFocus().getSelectedItem().setInfo('video', { playcount: 1 })

                                            AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setInfo'

The -1 from getSelectedPosition() means I have no list and thus the NoneType error.

What am I doing wrong? What is the trick for manipulating listItems from xbmc (and not from my addon)?
