Incorporated the json vs. simplejson speed tests.
please try the updated github version to see if there are any regressions

Hi Martijn, thanx for the update ! Don't know if the updated version was intended to solve the problem i've posted with the path special://skin/playlists ...
Tested with latest nightly 22.09.2013 but my problem still persists.

Just something else: if i click on that playlist it opens as it should, so the path special://skin/playlists ...is working, but the widgets are not appearing on home.

Cheers

Martijn.

I've just try this new release with database and guisettings from this topic :

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=173878

Comparing with this results :

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1510864

This release is a little bit faster (with 2 smart playlists, this release a 1 second faster) :

1 - With 5 smart playlists for movies :


2 - With only smart playlist #1 for movies :


3 - With smart playlists #1 and #2 for movies :


PS : I'm running XBMC 12.2 / Windows 7 on my professionnal PC, it's not a HTPC dedicated to XBMC running OpenELEC with an SSD.

nothing i can help with. JSON-queries are internal XBMC.
i only used the selection to find the best method available.
if you could test with a nightly version if there's any progress done there. I know there will be some more improvement

OK, I will test this with a Gotham nightly.

i do plan to bump to python 2.7.5 which will increase the JSON decoding by 15x or so but that has no effect on the query time

Any chance of "premiered" property for episodes?

I have try with Gotham (13.0-ALPHA7 Git:20130831-2da9c97) and the big library from Legion455 but it's not faster than Fordo (12.2) :


@Martijn, did you think running the last nightly could speed up script ?

@SpaceMonkey : Try the latest release from GITHUB, %s.%d.Premiered property for episodes just added

There could have been some database query improvements since Frodo.

Results with latest available nightly (13.0-ALPHA8 Git:20130922-5aef1c5) :


Times are worse but I'm testing on my professional laptop,

It seems that the current XBMC repo version does not like spaces in the playlist name?

For example:

Playlist file name: Horror Movies.xsp
Smart playlist name: <name>Horror Movies</name>
Result: http://pastebin.com/Qf7RD9Hz

If i rename the playlist to <name>Horror</name> it works without errors, and what's weird, i can rename it back to <name>Horror Movies</name> and it still works.

This is how i run the script:

Script Seems not to work with Gotham!

Hello

I try jesterday evening to get this Script to work with Gotham. Sadly no Sucsess!
Does i do someting wrong, or do i have to do someting diffrent for Gotham? (it works with Frodo the way i try it for Gotham.)
i Try it with the old V.2.0.5 and a newer V.2.1.5 in the addon.xml

In "Home.xml":

In the "IncludeReaconlyAdded.xml"

The Playlists are located in the Skinfolder in a selfgenerated Folder "Playlists"


If i thake a Look in the Log it shows me:

Seems as the Skript couldn't finde the Smartplaylist, but no Idea Why!!?
Try diffrent Folder Names, a Subfolder called "Video" in the "Playlists" folder and so on, no Sucsess.

So no Idea whats wrong, in Frodo it works.

Couldnt figuere it out.


(Help is much appreciated!!)

Please, don't post log snippet and user xbmclogs.com to share all your log file.

As you rare running Gotham in portable mode, your xsp files must be stored in :

D:\Zwischenspeichern\XBMC Gotham _Portable_ installation\XBMC\portable_data\userdata\playlists\video

I've just make a quick test with :
XBMC 13.0-ALPHA9
Aeon Nox 4.1.9 (which is not 100% compliant with Gotham)
4 playlists

And everything is OK :

Sadly isn't a Option cause the Smartplylists have to be included in the Skin.

Already mentioned about pre defined skin smartplaylists, no solution so far ...read my posts a few pages back.

Example for calling the script with custom playlist works as exepted, in frodo as in gotham:

PHP Code:

XBMC.RunScript(script.randomandlastitems,type=Movie,unwatched=True,limit=10,resume=False,method=Last,playlist=$INFO[Skin.String(Menu_Custom4_Path)],menu=Menu1) 


Example for calling the script with predefined playlist, works in frodo but not in gotham:

PHP Code:

XBMC.RunScript(script.randomandlastitems,type=Movie,unwatched=True,limit=10,resume=False,method=Last,playlist=special://skin/playlists/HDMovies.xsp,menu=Menu7) 


Any ideas ? Does gotham handles different special://skin stuff ?


Thanx
