A simple plugin like this works:

PHP Code:

ADDON_HANDLE = int(sys.argv[1])
PATH = sys.argv[0][33:-1]
QUERY = sys.argv[2][1:]  
  
if PATH=='playvideo':
    xbmc.Player().play(QUERY)    
else:    
    listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem('My video title')        
    xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=ADDON_HANDLE, url='plugin://plugin.video.myplugin/playvideo/?http://vo.fod4.com/v/8712fdfb54/v640-q2.mp4', listitem=listItem)
    xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(ADDON_HANDLE) 


Now we try doing the same thing only using playlists:

PHP Code:

ADDON_HANDLE = int(sys.argv[1])
PATH = sys.argv[0][29:-1]
QUERY = sys.argv[2][1:]  
  
if PATH=='playvideo':
    xbmc.Player().play(QUERY)    
else:    
    listItem = xbmcgui.ListItem('My video title')  
    playlist = xbmc.PlayList(xbmc.PLAYLIST_VIDEO)    
    playlist.clear()       
    playlist.add(url = 'plugin://plugin.video.myplugin/playvideo/?http://vo.fod4.com/v/8712fdfb54/v640-q2.mp4', listitem=listItem)
    xbmc.Player().play(playlist) 


The video starts playing and Kodi freezes/crashes.
Any way to make this work?

Debug Log and crashlogs wanted on pastebin.com. Also what version?

I have made a few more tests with this. My script was also using pydevd(pydev remote debugger), when I disable it Kodi doesn't freeze.

What happens now is this:
The first time I run my plugin I see a short "busy" notice, but nothing happens.
Then the 2nd time I run it, the video starts playing, but I get an error message saying: "One or more items failed to play. Check the log file for details". The moment I click "OK" the video stops playing, and Kodi goes back to video addons menu.

log after first run (nothing happens) : http://pastebin.com/6juuBgL3
log after 2nd run (video plays): http://pastebin.com/XAswpPcR
log after I click "OK": http://pastebin.com/tcLcNEiC

I am using Helix.
