Can someone explain how to use this script? Is there anywhere a new option?
The readme contains just a bunch of variables

Only for skinners who know how to code.

[mikebzh44]

Yes, this script did not provide any front end screen.

It have to be called within the skin to set up properties used by the skin to display informations.

New release 2.1.7

Because people were waiting for this feature for soooooooooo long :

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1143109

now this script can handle MusicVideo smartplaylists.

See GITHUB and READM.txt for new properties.

For now, the only issue is that when you want to play the music video ID #, it's the movie ID # that is actually played :S

I'm waiting for answers in JSON thread :

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1478311

But, skinners, you can start to play with and make dedicated screens or widgets.

[mikebzh44]

Everything is OK with the script, no JSON-RPC issue.

It's only a Aeon Nox 4.1.9 issue because widgets seems to not use Play property from the script but DBID and widget did not make the difference between movies custom menu and music videos custom menu.

I am trying to debug an error I am having with the randomandlastitems.py script. V2.1.6
I am still learning python coming from Java background.
It seems to fail at the line 127 at _playcount = _movie['playcount']
I am trying to trace back the calls but unable to understand the JSON-RPC call. because the directory is passed as PLAYLIST = "videodb://1/2/" in the Files.GetDirectory method. but is that a directory?

[mikebzh44]

videodb://1/2 = Movies title

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Opening_Windows_and_Dialogs

Try _movie.get('playcount', 0)

But it means that JSON query did not return playcount for this movie :S

videodb://1/2 = Movies title

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Opening_Windows_and_Dialogs

Try _movie.get('playcount', 0)

But it means that JSON query did not return playcount for this movie :S

Can you explain how "videodb://1/2" is considered as a directory? I would have expected somthing like c:\...\...\ in windows or /home/.../.../ on linux
For the signature for Files.GetDirectory in the JSON-RPC API states:

5.4.2 Files.GetDirectory
Get the directories and files in the given directory
Permissions:
ReadData
Parameters:
string directory
[ Files.Media media = "files" ]
[ List.Fields.Files properties ]
[ List.Sort sort ]
Returns:
Type: object
Properties:
List.LimitsReturned limits
List.Item.File[] files
[show] JSON Schema Description

I don't know oh it's work but it's work

This kind of path is a XBMC alias.

Ask in JSON-RPC or XBMC development thread.

[anibeasts]

Anyway to force the script to run for testing purposes?
I have been exiting XBMC then starting it again repeatedly.

Ok I have this smartplay list
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
<name>Series</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="path" operator="startswith">
<value>smb://NAS1/Videos/Series/</value>
</rule>
<order direction="ascending">sorttitle</order>
</smartplaylist>

Everytime this script fails its called with TYPE=Movie
and for some reason it looks at my episodes directory
Why is that?
Here is log from one of the threads:

[mikebzh44]

I'm on holidays so I will have a look this evening or tomorrow morning.

[mikebzh44]

I don't know.

I'm using this smart playlist :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>Game of Thrones</name>
    <name>Series</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">
        <value>D:\Utilisateurs\Mikael\Vidéos\Series\Game of Thrones</value>
    </rule>
    <order direction="ascending">sorttitle</order>
</smartplaylist>

In Aeon Nox, the script is called this way :

Code:

RunScript(script.randomandlastitems, playlist=special://profile/playlists/video/Game of Thrones.xsp, method=Last, limit=10, unwatched=False, resume=False, property=SmartPlaylist1)

I have remove type= parameter to let the script find it.

And smart playlist is detected as tvshows and type=Episode is returned.

Could you send me your myvideos75.db database (use rapidshare or some other file hosting server) ?

Thanks.

check your inbox.

[mikebzh44]

I don't understand your problem. I'm using your playlist and your database and everything is OK.

I have put some debug in log and type is OK :

Code:

16:36:55 T:2808  NOTICE: ('##### TYPE=', 'Episode')

And properties are OK :

Code:

16:36:58 T:2808  NOTICE: ('##### SmartPlaylist1.1.Title', u'Brazil')
