If you do this script will benefit from a speeds increase on processing.
PHP Code:
# Use json instead of simplejson when python v2.7 or greater
if sys.version_info < (2, 7):
import json as simplejson
else:
import simplejson
I also noticed that when you have several buttons with playlists next to each other it takes some time to update them. So if you switch to the next one you will get the list for a couple of seconds of the previous playlist.
Don't know if this is something you can solve?

Can you make the Count property count all the movies in the playlist regardless of unwatched option, just like in random movies script and recent added script?
Right now it counts the number of items returned by the script, instead of the playlist items.

For the second problem, I don't know if I could do something

Maybe, I could return a new propertie like TotalCount.

Im using a hidden button to run:
"<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.RandomAndLastItems,limit=10,method='Last',playlist='special://profile/playlists/video/1234.xsp','menu=Menu1')</onfocus>"
But I just get an error
Debug gives me:
"WARNING: CUtil::GetMatchingSource... no matching source found for ['special://profile/playlists/video/1234.xsp']"
"WARNING: XFILE::CFactoryDirectory::Create - Unsupported protocol('special) in 'special://profile/playlists/video/1234.xsp'"
Am i doing something stupidly wrong?
I have the same warning as you but script is OK and properties are displayed.
But I think you have made a mistake in your code :
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.RandomAndLastItems,limit=10,method='Last',playlist='special://profile/playlists/video/1234.xsp','menu=Menu1')</onfocus>
Right code should be :
<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.RandomAndLastItems,limit=10,method='Last',playlist='special://profile/playlists/video/1234.xsp',menu='Menu1')</onfocus>

For the warning, it's normal : http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=1017827&postcount=1703

New version 1.0.4 : http://passion-xbmc.org/addons/Download.php/script.randomandlastitems/script.randomandlastitems-1.0.4.zip
Fix a bug and now, propertie Count contains the number of movies in the playlist.
I have to think about Watched and Unwatched because I have to scan every movies of the playlist to see if playcount =0 or not.

@mikebzh44
could you make a counter for the playlist. For movie library there is a counter how many movies are in library howmay are watched and how many are unwatched ?
Is there a chance to make this for a playlist ?

For the first one, "How many movies in the library/playlist" is stored in propertie :
Playlist<method>Movie<menu>.Count
(See first post or README.txt in ZIP file for details).
For the 2 others counter, I can do that but script will be slower to return results because I will have to scan every movie of the library/playlist and test if it's watched or not.

Hi,

I hope you know the widget that i mean for movie library.

Don't you already fetch playcount to filter watched/unwatched and resumed items? The script wouldn't run slower then if the option unwatched=true is set?
