"Play next song automatically" in plugin - doable?

mbetter · 2010-11-19 01:57

I made a music plugin, is there any way to get the next song in the directory to play automatically when a song ends?

XBMC will do that automatically assuming you have the option enabled.

It doesn't seem to be working for me. I can queue the entire directory, but for some reason I can't get album art to show up when I do it that way.

I add my directories with:

Code:

def addDir(name,object_id,token,mode,iconimage):

        xbmc.log(name,xbmc.LOGNOTICE)

        u=sys.argv[0]+"?object_id="+str(object_id)+"&mode="+str(mode)+"&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)+"&token="+token

        ok=True

        liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage="DefaultFolder.png", thumbnailImage=iconimage)

        liz.setInfo( type="Music", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )

        ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=u,listitem=liz,isFolder=True)

        return ok

and my links with:

Code:

def addLink(name,url,iconimage,node):

        ok=True

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

        liz.setInfo( type="Music", infoLabels={ "Title": node.findtext("title"), "Artist": node.findtext("artist"), "Album": node.findtext("album"), "TrackNumber": str(node.findtext("track")) } )

        ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=url,listitem=liz)

        return ok

Where url is of the type: http: //ampache-server.com/a/play.php?song=1000...

I think I'm missing something here.

Hello,

Maybe you have to set the Music.AlbumArt since you're using InfoLabels?

Just an Idea not tested.

I can't find any reference to this in the documentation, can you clarify?

actually jmarshall it doesn't auto-advance for plugins. the viewstate does not return autoplay...

Thanks, spiff, I feel like slightly less of an idiot now Smile

While you're around, any clue about my thumbnail issue, i.e. thumbnails showing up when i open a (plugin) directory and play a link by itself but not when I queue the whole directory?

**jmarshall** · 2010-11-21 00:02

In what cases would we not want autoplay? I can't think of any (for a music plugin).

**spiff** · 2010-11-21 02:50

none what so ever. it's a bug in my view
