Hi,
this addon is the All-In-One solution for the most important music video sources. You can create your own channels from various sources.
Supported sources:
Spotify playback is done via Youtube. This works really well, because of that I also wrote a small separate addon for Spotify playlists: SpotiTube.
Youtube search queries are cached for 24 hours.
You can create the channels with a text/xml editor of your choice. Configuration via XBMC is not possible - and not planned...
Simply create one .xml per channel in the channel directory (../XBMC/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.my_music_tv/channels). The filename conforms the title in XBMC.
A simple example:
There are also 3 optional attributes per channel: 'thumb', 'shuffled' and 'unwatched'.
Per default, all videos per channel are played in random order (shuffled="yes"). If you want the channel to be played in original order, you can force this via shuffled="no".
Also, all videos are played per default. It's possible to play only unwatched videos by using unwatched="yes". The watched state is saved separately for each channel.
2 attributes are required for each entry: 'type' and 'value'. The following 3 attributes are optional: 'title', 'limit' and 'cache'.
'title' is for your own organisation - you should use it. The maximum amount of videos per entry can be set via 'limit'. Useful for charts.
You can use 'cache' to force the caching duration in days. Default caching duration: see below
Example with all possible attributes:
A channel could contain as much sources as you want, but you should not use too much (1 entry = 1 request).
If a video occurs in multiple sources, it only gets added once: Priority: Directories->SmartPlaylists->xspf->VEVO->Muzu->Youtube->Dailymotion->Reddit->Spotify
Example for a channel with multiple sources:
Information about the supported sources:
Per default, a notification appears 5 seconds after video playback has begun. Could be changed/deactivated via the addon settings.
It's also possible to add the currently playing video to playlists. These xspf playlists could then also be used as sources for channels.
You can map the following command to a key, use Commands, or do whatever you want with it:
You can also add the currently playing video to a blacklist, so that it will never be played again:
All this maybe sounds a bit complicated - but the configuration time is worth it
Of course, you can also post and share your channel configurations here.
All feedback is welcome...
Available via my Testing-Repo
Have fun
