"Play next song automatically" in plugin - doable?
#1
I made a music plugin, is there any way to get the next song in the directory to play automatically when a song ends?

XBMC will do that automatically assuming you have the option enabled.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.

It doesn't seem to be working for me. I can queue the entire directory, but for some reason I can't get album art to show up when I do it that way.

I add my directories with:

Code:
def addDir(name,object_id,token,mode,iconimage):
        xbmc.log(name,xbmc.LOGNOTICE)
        u=sys.argv[0]+"?object_id="+str(object_id)+"&mode="+str(mode)+"&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)+"&token="+token
        ok=True
        liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage="DefaultFolder.png", thumbnailImage=iconimage)
        liz.setInfo( type="Music", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )
        ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=u,listitem=liz,isFolder=True)
        return ok

and my links with:

Code:
def addLink(name,url,iconimage,node):
        ok=True
        liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage=iconimage, thumbnailImage=iconimage)
        liz.setInfo( type="Music", infoLabels={ "Title": node.findtext("title"), "Artist": node.findtext("artist"), "Album": node.findtext("album"), "TrackNumber": str(node.findtext("track")) } )
        ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),url=url,listitem=liz)
        return ok

Where url is of the type: http: //ampache-server.com/a/play.php?song=1000...

I think I'm missing something here.

Hello,

Maybe you have to set the Music.AlbumArt since you're using InfoLabels?

Just an Idea not tested.

I can't find any reference to this in the documentation, can you clarify?

actually jmarshall it doesn't auto-advance for plugins. the viewstate does not return autoplay...

Thanks, spiff, I feel like slightly less of an idiot now Smile

While you're around, any clue about my thumbnail issue, i.e. thumbnails showing up when i open a (plugin) directory and play a link by itself but not when I queue the whole directory?

In what cases would we not want autoplay? I can't think of any (for a music plugin).

Hi Spiff, i just installed r35744 and xbmc still doesn't play the next song automatically when the current one i selected ends. i made sure the option to play next song automatically is also selected in options.
could you pleaselook into this thanks.

I've also had no luck with this. During play, I'll see "Next:" pop up over the currently playing song title with nothing next to it.

Is there something specific I have to do to set the next song?

Code:
def addLinks(elem):
        ok=True
        li=[]
        for node in elem:
            liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(node.findtext("title").encode("utf-8"), iconImage=node.findtext("art"), thumbnailImage=node.findtext("art"))
            liz.setInfo( type="Music", infoLabels={ "Title": node.findtext("title").encode("utf-8"), "Artist": node.findtext("artist"), "Album": node.findtext("album"), "ReleaseDate": str(node.findtext("year")) } )
            tu= (node.findtext("url"),liz)
            li.append(tu)
        ok=xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems(handle=int(sys.argv[1]),items=li,totalItems=len(elem))
        return ok

I got it working by using SetResolvedURL.

I would like to know if it's possible to do it without SetResolvedURL as my current plugin doesn't really need it (AFAIK) and it introduces a redundant plugin call in between songs.
