Hi,

So I have my script running fine and all, but one problem that is annoying the heck out of me and honestly can't figure it out. When I activate the window for my addon, then each time I prev back, it will just refresh the page unless I press back quick enough 2 times. I can see in the args that pressing back has the exact same list as the initial list of arguments meaning that it's always going to filter through the same method. Here is my code:

python:


import os

import sys

import urlparse

import urllib 

import xbmcgui

import xbmcplugin

import xbmcaddon

import xbmc

import json



ADDON        = xbmcaddon.Addon()

CWD          = ADDON.getAddonInfo('path').decode('utf-8')



# Add our resources/lib to the python path

try:

    current_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

except:

    current_dir = os.getcwd()

    

sys.path.append(os.path.join(current_dir, "resources", "lib"))



import libraryitems, log, jsonquery



base_url = sys.argv[0]

addon_handle = int(sys.argv[1])

args = urlparse.parse_qs(sys.argv[2][1:])



if args.get('title', None):

    title = args.get('title')[0]

else:

    title = "Filter"



handler = os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])



xbmc.executebuiltin("Dialog.Close(busydialog)")



if __name__ == "__main__":

    

    if handler is None:

        xbmc.executebuiltin('ActivateWindow(Home)')

        

    elif handler == 'movies':

        filters = urllib.unquote( args.get('filter', None)[0] ).decode('utf8')

        

        

        filters = json.loads(filters)        

        movies = jsonquery.getMovies(filters)

        

        xbmcplugin.setContent(addon_handle, 'movies')

        

        listitems =

        for index, movie in enumerate(movies):

            listitem = libraryitems.movieItem(movie)

            xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItems(addon_handle, [(movie['file'], listitem, False,)])

                    

        xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.SetViewMode(53)')

        xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(addon_handle, succeeded=True, updateListing=False, cacheToDisc=False)           

        

I also call this addon from JSONRPC via the activate window command

an example of the args being passed in are:

json:


[

    "plugin://script.module.customlibrarywindow/movies",

    "65",

    "?handler=movies&filter=%257B%2522or%2522%253A%255B%257B%2522field%2522%253A%2522rating%2522%252C%2522value%2522%253A%25228%2522%252C%2522operator%2522%253A%2522greaterthan%2522%257D%255D%257D&title=Movies+greaterthan+8"

]

Can someone please help me rectify this?

Turns out it didn't like the parameter key name filter so I changed it to filters and it's working as should. Any elaborations on to why that is? Is kodi internally interpreting that specific key?
