Nuka1195 Wrote:no the script doesn't decide. the script starts an AlarmClock()

you still need to run the script "once". if you pass alarm=30, then the script will run every 30 minutes. so then there is no need to run it everytime you enter the home menu. (which i don't like). you enter movies back out and the script runs again.

as i said in the first post you can set always="false" for you're control so it only runs once. right?

yup, i got that one.

Nuka1195 Wrote:was the example not clear?

it's the 'plus if your in home it will update automatically' bit that got me confused.
i was unsure if the alarmclock kept running once you navigate away from home.

thanx for the explanation Nuka1195, and for all the neat scripts you've been releasing lately.

cheers.

upon re-reading. the first post wasn't very clear.

I already made the update, and not works!

Pytho Script Failed:
skin/extras/recentlyadded.py

I just made the update von SVN and Aeon Hitcher...

Just to clarify things a bit, some people are getting an error using my mod and the latest added script. Everything works great for me (Windows) so I'm wondering if it's a Linux problem.

All I've done is add the Hide Unwatched and Totals conditions -

Code:

<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(special://skin/extras/RecentlyAdded.py,limit=6&amp;albums=True&amp;unplayed=True&amp;totals=True)</onfocus>

Running on ubuntu 9.04.
I got Aeon Hitched at 1.30pm via git.
I should have latest RecentlyAdded.py.

With the Hitcher mod xbmc will become unresponsive and I have to forcably kill the process with the following in the log

20:39:28 T:1308 M:1122537472 ERROR: CThread::staticThread : Access violation at 0x1e0ac802: Writing location 0x00000000

Happens within 10 seconds of running up the skin and in that time it looks like the RecentlyAdded part works as I can see added movies and the totals.

However if I rename the 'extras' folder to something else then I don't get the crash, the only file inside the folder is the RecentlyAdded.py file.

XBMC is todays SVN and Hitchers mod is fresh from git today, OS is Windows 7 RC

Nuka1195 · 2009-08-13 15:27

avigrace, that's a bug in xbmc.

for the tv shows error. it is now fixed in svn.

you can show the last played video for movies. if skinners want to use this, i can add it to tv shows also.

Hitcher · 2009-08-13 16:25

Thanks for the TV Shows fix.

hey Nuke
I have added 1 more option to the script i am useing for my aeon mod "random", i use it as i do not add movies/episodes all the time so i get to see a list random unplayed movies/episodes which is nicer then seeing the same movies/episodes all the time. i was just thinking you may like to add it to your script to as a option Smile

PHP Code:

sql_movies = "select * from movieview %sorder by RANDOM() limit %d" % ( unplayed, self.LIMIT, ) 

PHP Code:

sql_episodes = "select * from episodeview %sorder by RANDOM() limit %d" % ( unplayed, self.LIMIT, ) 

CF2009 · 2009-08-14 14:45

one more thing i have just added to my script is the ability to play full albums from the Recently Added script (extras.py).

i'm not using unplayed or songs like yours but you can see how it works...

PHP Code:

# Current Working Directory
CWD = os.getcwd() 

PHP Code:

def _fetch_music_info( self ):
        # sql statement
        if ( self.RANDOM_ORDER ):
            sql_music = "select * from albumview order by RANDOM() limit %d" % ( self.LIMIT, )
        else:
            sql_music = "select * from albumview order by idAlbum desc limit %d" % ( self.LIMIT, )
        # query the database for recently added albums
        music_xml = xbmc.executehttpapi( "QueryMusicDatabase(%s)" % quote_plus( sql_music ), )
        # separate the records
        items = re.findall( "<record>(.+?)</record>", music_xml, re.DOTALL )
        # enumerate thru our records and set our properties
        for count, item in enumerate( items ):
            # separate individual fields
            fields = re.findall( "<field>(.*?)</field>", item, re.DOTALL )
            # set properties
            self.WINDOW.setProperty( "LatestSong.%d.Genre" % ( count + 1, ), fields[ 7 ] )

            self.WINDOW.setProperty( "LatestSong.%d.Plot" % ( count + 1, ), fields[ 14 ] )
            # Album Path  (ID)
            path = 'XBMC.RunScript(' + CWD + 'extras.py,albumid=' + fields[ 0 ] + ')'
            self.WINDOW.setProperty( "LatestSong.%d.Path" % ( count + 1, ), path )
            # get cache name of path to use for fanart
            cache_name = xbmc.getCacheThumbName( fields[ 6 ] )
            self.WINDOW.setProperty( "LatestSong.%d.Fanart" % ( count + 1, ), "special://profile/Thumbnails/Music/%s/%s" % ( "Fanart", cache_name, ) )
            self.WINDOW.setProperty( "LatestSong.%d.Thumb" % ( count + 1, ), fields[ 9 ] )

    def _Play_Album( self, ID ):
        playlist=xbmc.PlayList(0)
        playlist.clear()
        # sql statements
        sql_song = "select * from songview where idAlbum='%s' order by iTrack " % ( ID )
        # query the databases
        songs_xml = xbmc.executehttpapi( "QueryMusicDatabase(%s)" % quote_plus( sql_song ), )
        # separate the records
        songs = re.findall( "<record>(.+?)</record>", songs_xml, re.DOTALL )
        # enumerate thru our records and set our properties

            # separate individual fields
            fields = re.findall( "<field>(.*?)</field>", movie, re.DOTALL )
            # set album name
            path = fields[ 22 ] + fields[ 8 ]
            listitem = ListItem( fields[ 7 ] )
            xbmc.PlayList(0).add (path, listitem )
        xbmc.Player().play(playlist)
        xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.ActivateWindow(10500)')

@nuka1195,

i have managed to get the fanart working for recent episodes. but it relies on the fanart being cached. i remember the the thumbs used to be the same (sometimes thumb not showing up, when no cached thumb exists) is there a anything you can you do with your script so it does the same for fanart.

Andy.
