I've mapped a button on my MCE remote to begin playing music in party mode.

<three>XBMC.PlayerControl(Partymode)</three>

This works great but is there a way to start this in full screen mode straight away? The shortcut takes me to a playlist window.

Not currently.

I would second this as a feature request.

Code:

import xbmc
xbmc.executeBuiltin('PlayerControl(PartyMode)')
xbmc.executeBuiltin('ActivateWindow(visualisation)')

save as /some/path/something.py

map button to
'RunScript(/some/path/something.py)'

Thanks champ! I'll give it a go tonight.

That might kill two birds with one stone because I wanted to get started with scripts too but wasn't quite sure how. This will be a good intro

[nugget21]

For future reference here's the script I made:

import xbmc
import time

xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.PlayerControl(PartyMode)')
time.sleep(3)
xbmc.executebuiltin( "XBMC.Action(Fullscreen)" )


I actually wanted Fullscreen to come up (not the visualisation screen) because I use the artistslideshow add-on. I had to put that pause in the middle to allow the party mode to start, then start full screen.

Thanks again for the help guys!
