Hi Spiff, i just installed r35744 and xbmc still doesn't play the next song automatically when the current one i selected ends. i made sure the option to play next song automatically is also selected in options.
could you pleaselook into this thanks.

works fine for me in all add-ons. must be your end.

I've also had no luck with this. During play, I'll see "Next:" pop up over the currently playing song title with nothing next to it.

Is there something specific I have to do to set the next song?

Code:

def addLinks(elem):

        ok=True

        li=[]

        for node in elem:

            liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(node.findtext("title").encode("utf-8"), iconImage=node.findtext("art"), thumbnailImage=node.findtext("art"))

            liz.setInfo( type="Music", infoLabels={ "Title": node.findtext("title").encode("utf-8"), "Artist": node.findtext("artist"), "Album": node.findtext("album"), "ReleaseDate": str(node.findtext("year")) } )

            tu= (node.findtext("url"),liz)

            li.append(tu)

        ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),items=li,totalItems=len(elem))

        return ok

I got it working by using SetResolvedURL.

I would like to know if it's possible to do it without SetResolvedURL as my current plugin doesn't really need it (AFAIK) and it introduces a redundant plugin call in between songs.

Can I bump this? SetResolvedURL adds like five seconds to the gap between songs and it's really starting to bother me.

Do a debug log - you should not require SetResolvedUrl at all.

Cheers,

Hi, I'm working on the internet archive add-on and I can't seem to get this to work either.

Here is the current code I'm working with ->http://code.google.com/p/audio-archive-x...default.py

Here is a log ->http://pastebin.com/W3vMnnDN

Any help is much appreciated.

I'm also having trouble auto-playing the next track in a plugin I'm developing.

The URL gets redirected to the media file - perhaps that is the error we are getting, and the reason setresolvedurl is a workaround.

I'm using the following to add the links:

Code:

def addLink(name,url,iconimage):

    ok=True

    liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(label=name,thumbnailImage=iconimage)

    liz.setProperty("mimetype", 'audio/mpeg')

    liz.setInfo("music", {"title": name,})

    liz.setProperty("IsPlayable", "true")

    xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(handle=int(sys.argv[1]), succeeded=True, listitem=liz)

    return ok

It works only for audio plugins. That is, plugins that set their provides attribute to include "audio".
