Hello,
I apologize if similar question was asked before. Anyway, I am trying to write a simple video addon.
I found CCTV5 replay can be viewed with this kind of URL:
http://8.37.234.13/v.cctv.com/live_back/...host=local
the stream is five minutes long. It will be continued by
http://8.37.234.13/v.cctv.com/live_back/...host=local.
I figured out how to calculate the next url in general, (after the 19-23-012, the next one would be 20-00-001, etc),
So I simply create a dead loop to have the video keep going with something like "while TRUE: play url; time.sleep(300); generate the next url ...
However, from Kodi even if I quit this addon by press "menu" buttom on aTV's remote control, it seems the dead loop is still running because after within 5 minutes, a video come up playing again, and again, forever ...
Any way I can catch the event that user is leaving this addon so I can end the dead loop?
Instead of a dead loop, any better way to playing next segment until you click away this addon?
Sample codes will be greatly appreciated, or if someone could write an addon.
Thanks!

You could monitor the player events and exit the loop when the video is stopped.

Thank you for the quick response.
I am able to catch onPlayBackStopped() and onPlayBackEnded(), which let me tell if I should quit the player or load the next segment.
Thanks!
