very awesome

I'm trying to use script.favourites to populate widgets in Mimic. After looking at the readme, I added the following onclick to my Favorites widget button:

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(script.favourites,property=CustomFavourite.1)</onclick>

I tried to use the following content path for the widget (I call the script from a custom window with id 1124):

Code:

$INFO[Window(1124).Property(CustomFavourite.1.List)]

CustomFavourite.1.List stays empty, though, it never gets populated when selecting a favourite. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Update: Got it figured out after looking in my guisettings. Used the following to get the content path:

Code:

$INFO[Skin.String(CustomFavourite.1.List)]

Is it possible to call the script like this?

Code:

RunScript(script.favourites,property=FavWidget1,playlists=window,changetitle=true)

I'm using it to setup widgets so I don't want playlists to automatically play and I want the user to be able to change the label. Neither of those arguments do anything though, it always prompts whether playlists should play and it doesn't allow the user to set the label.

Thanks!

Separate the params with & instead of a comma

[braz]

Doh! Thanks Ronie. Though it appears I still have an issue, can't get changetitle to work. Is this how "true" should show up in the log?

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(script.favourites,property=FavWidget1&amp;changetitle=tru​e)</onclick>

Code:

14:58:46 T:6628   DEBUG: script.favourites: script version 6.0.1 started
14:58:46 T:6628   DEBUG: script.favourites: ### params: {'changetitle': 'tru\xe2\x80\x8be', 'property': 'FavWidget1'}

Hi all,

I'm having an issue when using the Amber skin and path substitution for favourites (I have a lots of Kodi instances so use path substitution for many settings!).

Unfortunately it seems the substitution isn't being correctly honored somewhere.. the favorites are fine using confluence, but when using Amber (which uses script.favourites) I get an error (see below) which stops the favouites being loaded into the skin.

Anyone seen this problem before or got any ideas how to fix?

Many Thanks,
Nick

[ronie]

path substitution simply does not work with addons.
there's no fix for it.

[X3773]

I'm running into the same problem with path substitution for favourites. Even though this addon can't fix that, this is something we need.

[Johnoo]

Is it possible to edit the script, to add more than one favorites, example favorites2 / favorites3.

I`m familiar with superfavorites, but much prefer regular favorites script, runs much smoother,.

Any info would be appreciated.
thanks

I have a skin user who reported an exception in script.favourites 7.1.1 on Kodi Beta 5 running on an ATV4. From the log it appears the xml.dom is failing in expatbuilder to open favouites.xml, though it seems like Kodi thinks the file does exist. Maybe a permission issue? I've asked user to verify favourites.xml exists.

User's log is here: http://pastebin.com/vMrqQxGJ

TIA

i'm afraid your guess is as good as mine :-)
no idea, other then the file doesn't exist.

...re @ all,

possible that anyone can help me out pls?

thx in advance

[scott967]

You might try first to use a file browser to look for and find the file favourites.xml in your Kodi userdata. Back it up (if desired) and delete it. That should stop the exception. Then try adding something as a "favourite" via the UI and see if Kodi has created the favourites.xml file again and if the script is throwing an exception still. If it is I don't know what to tell you as I don't know how Kodi does file access compared to the the python module used in script.favourites for your platform.

As far as what the skin Aeon MQ5 does with the script, it runs each time you open the home (main) window on Kodi. Its purpose is to find data needed to display so-called "widgets" when you have the main menu focused on the "Favourites" entry. If the script can't run you won't get the widgets. In the settings / skin settings for Aeon MQ5 you can turn off the widgets (via radiobutton) for "favourites" , in that case the script won't run and you will never see the exception.
