you can specify plugin url's in the listitem, load them up in a playlist and then kodi will call your plugin to play a video.

i was going to suggest you roll out your own "play from here" context menu entry but kodi's "play from here" worked fine.

I have to be doing something wrong then, but I don't see anything wrong. Here's the snippet of my code that creates the specific directory and the definition that resolves the links.

Code:
...

    Sources = scraper.Scraper()

    links = Sources.getLinks()

    playlist = xbmc.PlayList(xbmc.PLAYLIST_VIDEO)

    playlist.clear()

    for i, (title, image, link) in enumerate(links):

        list_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(label=title)

        is_folder = False

        list_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','false')

        list_item.setArt({'poster': image, 'banner': image})

        url = get_url(resolve=link)

        playlist.add(url, list_item)

        xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(_handle, url, list_item, is_folder)

    # Add a sort method for the virtual folder items (alphabetically, ignore articles)

    xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(_handle, xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_LABEL_IGNORE_THE)

    # Finish creating a virtual folder.

    xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(_handle)

def play_video(link):

    """

    Play a video by the provided path.

    :param path: str

    :return: None

    """

    print 'link is :' + link

    vid = YDStreamExtractor.getVideoInfo(link,quality=1) #quality is 0=SD, 1=720p, 2=1080p and is a maximum

    if vid is not None: 

        stream_url = vid.streamURL() #This is what Kodi (XBMC) will play

        print 'stream_url is :' + stream_url

        if stream_url is not None:

            if 'youtube.com' in stream_url:

                #?v=YI9h__3MwhM|

                print stream_url.split('|')[0].split('=')[1]

                stream_url = 'plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=' + stream_url.split('|')[0].split('=')[1]

                xbmc.executebuiltin('PlayMedia(' + stream_url + ')')

            elif any(ext in stream_url for ext in ['.avi|','.mp4|','.m4a|','.mpeg|','.wmv|','.flv|','.aac|','.3gp|','.flc|','.ogg|']):

                stream_url = stream_url.split('|')[0]

                print "stripped stream_url is : " + stream_url

                xbmc.executebuiltin('PlayMedia(' + stream_url + ')')

            else:

                # Create a playable item with a path to play.

                play_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=stream_url)

                play_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')

                xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(_handle, True, listitem=play_item)

    else:

        xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(_handle, False, listitem=xbmcgui.ListItem())

Can you spot anything that might be the culprit?

this is the first time i've seen:
xbmc.executebuiltin('PlayMedia(' + stream_url + ')')
used to play video.

can you get rid of the
if 'youtube...
elif any(...
and only use the entire "else" part to play the video?

gedisony · 2017-06-12, 02:47

I don't think you need to use playlist/playlist.add() when you're listing the directory.

CaffeinatedMike · (This post was last modified: 2017-06-12, 02:52 by CaffeinatedMike.)

Unfortunately I can't since the youtube-dl stream url is given with headers appended (www.youtube.com/videoid=xyz|headersheadersheaders) and when I try to supply that to setresolvedurl it fails to play if it's a YouTube link. That's why I test if youtube is in the string and if so extract the id and just pass it to the YouTube plugin. Have you had this issue? Should that happen?

And about the playlist lines, it acts the same with and without it.

gedisony · 2017-06-12, 04:28

You must be doing something wrong. iirc, the extra stuff after the | is the useragent string. it is used to trick the server that the request is coming from a web browser.
in any case, the stream_url returned by youtube_dl is playable via setResolvedUrl

about the playlist lines;
unless you have a specific reason for it being there, just remove it.
the playlist is some sort of a global variable in the kodi system.
that problem i mentioned earlier about autoplay not working in my plugin?
it was because i have left a "playlist.clear()" when playing the video. thereby causing the autoplay/play from here to just play one item.

I tried as you suggested by only using the following

Code:
...

    Sources = scraper.Scraper()

    links = Sources.getLinks()

    for i, (title, image, link) in enumerate(links):

        list_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(label=title)

        is_folder = False

        list_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','false')

        list_item.setArt({'poster': image, 'banner': image})

        url = get_url(resolve=link)

        xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(_handle, url, list_item, is_folder)

    # Add a sort method for the virtual folder items (alphabetically, ignore articles)

    xbmcplugin.addSortMethod(_handle, xbmcplugin.SORT_METHOD_LABEL_IGNORE_THE)

    # Finish creating a virtual folder.

    xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(_handle)

def play_video(link):

    """

    Play a video by the provided path.

    :param path: str

    :return: None

    """

    print 'link is :' + link

    vid = YDStreamExtractor.getVideoInfo(link,quality=1) #quality is 0=SD, 1=720p, 2=1080p and is a maximum

    if vid is not None: 

        stream_url = vid.streamURL() #This is what Kodi (XBMC) will play

        print 'stream_url is :' + stream_url

        # Create a playable item with a path to play.

        play_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=stream_url)

        play_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')

        xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(_handle, True, listitem=play_item)

    else:

        xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(_handle, False, listitem=xbmcgui.ListItem())

But, the link refuses to resolve/play. Here's the log data for the action.

When copy/pasting the stream_url directly into a browser it brings up the video. So, I'm completely lost. Any ideas?

Edit: And just for completeness, I have _handle defined in the beginning of the file

Code:
_handle = int(sys.argv[1])

@CaffeinatedMike

Why are you using both isFolder=False and 'isPlayable': 'false'? It is a special case when a plugin call is not invoking xbmcplugin API and does anything else.

As per your comment here

Quote:For plugin rules are the following:
- If a ListItem opens a lower lever list, it must have isFolder=True.
- If a ListItem calls a playback function that ends with setResolvedUrl, it must have setProperty('isPlayable', 'true') and IsFolder=False.
- If a ListItem does any other task except for mentioned above, is must have isFolder=False (and only this).

This way you won't have problems with invalid handles.

Aren't I supposed to set those two options as setProperty('isPlayable', 'true') and IsFolder=False since they end up calling the "play_video(link)" definition to resolve the link? What is the correct way in my situation if not?

**Roman_V_M** · 2017-06-12, 15:36

@CaffeinatedMike

Read my previous post carefully once again. And then read carefully your code.

Wow, I feel like an idiot for misreading that, especially with how many times I've referenced that post. However, changing it to leads to videos not playing. Changed to the following

Code:
for i, (title, image, link) in enumerate(links):

        list_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(label=title)

        is_folder = False

        list_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')

        list_item.setArt({'poster': image, 'banner': image})

        url = get_url(resolve=link)

        #playlist.add(url, list_item)

        xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(_handle, url, list_item, is_folder)

I was able to get the first video to play when selecting Play From Here, but after it was finished and tried going to the next video it failed. And when trying to simply click on a single video to play it fails to play. See log

Code:
CFileCache::Process - Source read didn't return any data! Hit eof(?)

Read my previous post carefully once again. And then read carefully your code.

It appears to be related with youtube.com links specifically (atleast when returned from the youtube-dl function, with headers appended to the link). Here's a log with playback working for non-youtube links (single-play, plus Play From Here working) and youtube links failing with

Code:
is_folder = False

list_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')

Any idea what's going on?

This goes directly to the listitem and it plays fine. (won't play on the browser though)

btw, you can just parse the youtube video id fro the link and feed it to the youtube plugin. It will save the user some wait time.
also, some youtube links take a long time for youtube-dl to resolve.
you can shorten that wait time a bit by parsing for the video id and providing a simpler url like http://youtube.com/v/(video id here) or that other link with the ...watch?v=

I give up. If I try it the way Roman says it should be (isFolder = False, isPlayable = True) no videos play. Well, the first video starts to play, but immediately stops. Log says

Code:

if I use my original setup (isFolder = False, isPlayable = False) single links play fine, but Play From Here fails immediately when starting to play the first video. Log says

If I just use the code after my else statement youtube links returned from the youtube-dl resolver fail unless I pick them apart and send them to the youtube plugin. I really just have no idea what else to do, try, whatever. I'm just getting so fed up with it. I'm probably just a noob who's doing something idiotic. But, whatever I'm doing I just can't seem to get it right. Looks like I'm going to need someone to literally spell it out for me.
