Is there any way to return the library names of the playlist items through the http api? Something similar to what GetCurrentlyplaying does. This is the command we are using:

Code:

http://10.0.0.80:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=GetPlaylistContents(0)

It returns the the complete filename and path which can be ridiculously long. We are just trying to clean up the view and make it easier to pick a song with just a quick glance.

Am I missing something? Perhaps something like:

Code:

http://10.0.0.80:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=GetPlaylistContents(0;libraryname)

I know we could query the db which would be fine for a short playlist but for a long playlist, that would be too much load for the Iphone.

Cheers,

I wrote a patch to add this functionality to the webserver. You can find it here. Right now the duration returned is in seconds. Is there any way to return the duration in a standard "mms" format?

Cheers,

I was also looking for something like this.

Thanks !

The patch is now in SVN. I fixed the duration so it returns time properly. Since then I have added the same functionality for video playlists as well. I updated the diff on trac but since the ticket has been closed (since it made it into svn) I don't know if anyone has seen it.

I'll try it out when the new T3CH build gets there.
What is in the Title info ? Author - Song ?

Nope. If you use the command:

Code:

http://10.0.0.80:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=GetPlaylistContents(0;ShowTitle;ShowDuration)

It will return filenameandpath;songtitle;songduration. You can also mix and match the options to your liking. Currently there are 3 options, ShowTitle, ShowDuration, ShowIndex.
