Playing root directory files only (slideshow) - Thof - 2015-07-21
Hi all,
I'm working with a small python background program and am trying to play a slideshow from a directory. This works great when using the Player.Open with directory parameter, but the player takes all files and subdirectories. This is unfortunately not the required behaviour.
There is a possibility to add "recursive":false but this does not seem to do anything.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I tried to create a playlist with only the files in the root folder, but unfortunately calling Player.Open with a playlistid that only contains pictures does not work...
I'm using Kodi with the OSMC distribution on a Raspberry Pi B2.
Thanks!

on windows recursive false works for me:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.Open","params":{"item":{"path":"C:\\Users\\vehicles\\savage","random":false,"recursive":false}},"id":1}

Cool, thanks, that works.... I was using "directory" and not "path", with the "path option it works!

i could see how that could be mistaken...
