Full Version: [Release] VideoAddon_QueueThemAll
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Originally written for the Youtube Video Addon, this 'AddOn' lets you queue videos from video add-ons to your heart's content***.

Video here.

The Ugly:
  • Windows only.

  • It's an AutoIt3 script. You have to download and install AutoIt3.

  • The only way to call this script from XBMC is via VoxCommando. If someone wants to provide an easy way of updating the Confluence Context menu or other menu locations with "Queue Them All", I'll happily update this first post.

The bad:
  • Not for complete newbies - you have to do some tweaking.
  • Only YouTube and Yahoo Music Video are supported out of the box - and you have to choose which one you use. On the other hand, it's ready to accept command line arguments that could immediately decide which one you're using it for. Personally, I'm going to call it like this "Queue All VideoAddOn" VideoAddOn being a variable possibly equal to Youtube/ Yahoo/ Fox/ Funny or Die/ etc.

The good:
  • Easily extendable into any other video add-on - you just have to tweak a few settings in the script.
  • The code is heavily commented for ease of tweaking.
  • Easily tweakable for whatever kind of Windows HTPC you're running - no matter how fast or slow your HTPC is, you should be able to get this running since it can be slowed or speeded up indefinitely.

The Downloads:
  • VideoAddOn_QueueThemAll AutoIt3 script - save to C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\VideoAddOn_Queue_All.au3 if that's where you installed AutoIt3.

    The source code is heavily commented and should contain all instructions - let me know if not.


  • VoxCommando- just copy and paste this into your tree editor:

    Code:
    <command id="306" name="queue all" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
                <action>
                    <cmdType>Launch.RawParam</cmdType>
                    <cmdString>C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\VideoAddOn_Queue_All.au3</cmdString>
                    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
                </action>
                <phrase>queue all</phrase>
            </command>

Upcoming features: Further VoxCommando sub-script improvements to handle Funny Or Die, Fox News, Yahoo Music Videos, etc. Along with build-out of Select-Case statements to handle the various variables that will be introduced with those different Video-AddOns.

***Assuming that you don't mind doing your own script tweaking for whatever rascally Video Addons you might want to be queuing....
