Hi,
is there a way to get the PlayCount for plugin:// URLs?

I tried it via the JSON RPC Api, but couldnt find a solution:

Code:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Files.GetFileDetails", "params": { "file": "plugin://plugin.video.bestofyoutube_com/?url=GOI4H9Kbxxs&mode=playVideo", "media": "video", "properties": ["playcount"] } , "id": 1 }

returns:

Code:

{"error":{"code":-32602,"message":"Invalid params."},"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Should it work this way? I also tried it with urlencoded file parameter.

It's all stored in MyVideos*.db / TABLE: "files". I could directly access it via python, but i think this is not allowed when i want the addon to be added to the official repo!?!

Code:

c.execute('SELECT playCount FROM files WHERE strFilename=?', [pluginUrl])

Or is this okay?

Any solution would be great...

Anyone?

I'm already using this in some of my new addons and also planned to integrate it in some existing ones.
Would be nice if i can still add my addons/updates to the official repo...

i'll move this to JSON-RPC. perhaps it's something missing in core code
anyway direct db access is not allowed.

At the risk of breaking etiquette and necroing an old thread, I ran into this problem too. The same issue seems to apply to http: URLs as well. Playcounts for both plugin: and http: URLs appear in the database if you look at it with an SQLite viewer, but the JSON-RPC API doesn't let you get them. I think I narrowed it down to this line, although there may be other spots that also need changed to fix this. If my guess is right, the issue is that the JSON-RPC API tries to get the parent directory for the file you queried, which fails for plugin: and http: URLs.
