The lazytv plugin does auto play the next episode although it's not its main functionality. However it may be a great starting place

I'm guessing the way it works is that window pops up in the last 10 seconds or so and you click on and it launches the next episode?

Assuming your progressbar is id="23" why dont you use the following for the vis condition?

That way it will popup in the last 1% of the movie (when its on 99%). I'm not sure how you get focus to it though --
I have a feeling it wont work but maybe have it as a Custom Window with that as its visibility condition. i.e.

I'd like to see an image of the wall view if one is available. The rest of the slideshow in post #1 looks great.

I don't think the firetv has a wall view? It wouldn't really work with the whole concept of having the "more info" buttons etc. being visible and accessible directly from the content. I think the point is to be able to do everything with a six button remote (Directions + OK + Back).

    <controls>
         <control type="button" id="9500">

    </controls>
</window>

Pretty sure (although not proven) we can't get focus when playing a video.

All I've done is add this button to the video OSD -

No wall view just what you see.

Just tried it this way and although the dialog pops up and the button seems to have focus as soon as you hit enter the video OSD opens.

EDIT: Thanks jurialmunkey, I got it working using a combination of both methods.



So the custom dialog appears at the T-minus 30secs mark saying 'Next Episode', then when you hit enter the video OSD opens, plays the next episode and closes without you even seeing it.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Had a feeling that kodi wouldn't allow stealing focus in the video player. Completely forgot there was a Player.TimeRemaining label, that makes things much easier!

Glad I could help

I see. Are there any views that support larger collections?

Very cool. May have to borrow this for Immersive.

No, but this is built around the idea of having lots of smart playlists on the home screen.

I'm not sure I can get this stuff working

As wrote on IRC.. I'll dive into the guilib/infomanager danger zone on the weekend if time permits. I am pretty sure we get this one in for Isengard.

Hitcher can I make one suggestion: to have when hovered over a movie, have the trailer button beside the watch now button. Also add a trailer button in the same spot when in the movie info screen . That would look better in my opinion

There's a trailer button in the movie view (as long as there's one available) but I haven't added it to the movie info screen yet.

Oh I see . Well I just like to specify that it makes most sense to have the trailer button right next to the play button, not like the refresh button next to it just makes for faster and better navigation
