i try to set the Focus to the currently playing item in MyPlaylist Window / View.

what i can tell is that it dont work the way i try it, just why?

i already try different variations, non of them did have the effect im after. Hard for me to tell why it doesnt work.

here is what i try so far:

PHP Code:

V1:
<onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + Container(55).OnNext + !Skin.String(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,Container(55).Position)">SetFocus(55,MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition)</onload>

V2:
<onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + Container(55).OnNext + !Skin.String(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,Container(55).Position)">SetFocus(55,$INFO[MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition])</onload>

V3:
<onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + System.IdleTime(5) + !Skin.String(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,Container(55).Position)">SetFocus(55,MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition)</onload> 


Where "55" is the ID of the View im using.


Could someone enlighten me where i did the mistake here, and if this is even possible with the current Skinningengin?

Regards



EDIT:
Did also try it this way, (even if it would be horrible codingwise for a Playlist with 1000+ items).

PHP Code:

    <onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + System.IdleTime(5) + String.IsEqual(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,1)">SetFocus(55,1)</onload>
    <onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + System.IdleTime(5) + String.IsEqual(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,2)">SetFocus(55,2)</onload>
    <onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + System.IdleTime(5) + String.IsEqual(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,3)">SetFocus(55,3)</onload>
    <onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + System.IdleTime(5) + String.IsEqual(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,4)">SetFocus(55,4)</onload>
    <onload condition="Window.IsActive(musicplaylist) + System.IdleTime(5) + String.IsEqual(MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition,5)">SetFocus(55,5)</onload>
    ...

SetFocus(id,id) requires two int's. you can't pass an infolabel to it.

as for the second method, system idle time will be 0 on window open, so those conditions will never return true.

o.k. thanks, so looks like its currently not possible

thanks for clarification.

SetFocus(id,id) requires two int's. you can't pass an infolabel to it.

The second parameter can be an infolabel, e.g. SetFocus(9000,$INFO[Window(Home).Property(Offset)]) works.

Thanks for the hint.

Guess will give it a try together with a Alarm

PHP Code:

<onload condition="Skin.HasSetting(PlaylistAutoFocus)">AlarmClock(AutoFocus,SetFocus(55,$INFO[MusicPlayer.PlaylistPosition]),00:20,silent,loop)</onload>
<onunload condition="Skin.HasSetting(PlaylistAutoFocus)">XBMC.CancelAlarm(AutoFocus,true)</onunload> 


maybe not a nice / the best Solution, as i would perefere something according "idle" or "on.next", but all i can think of right now, which may could work in some way.

i asked in marcels Tread about getting something according "idle" or "on.next", but guess hes bussy right now with bugfixing...



EDIT:
O.K. doesnt work, it just counts up one item if the alarm gets released..

Have you tried the container autoscroll option? I use it hidden for videoplaylist compares..

<autoscroll time="1" delay="1" repeat="50">!Control.HasFocus(509) + !String.IsEqual(MusicPlayer.Title,Container(509).ListItem.Title)</autoscroll>
with the container List focus ID (no idea if it works safety, it seems to work what i try), or with idle time and scrolltime 0..
