Hi there,
I'm trying to create own addon with my local server movies different qualities. I have created all local server API endpoints. everything seems to be working fine. but I have an issue with ResumeTime when I use custom player (xbmc.player().play()) instead of `xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl`

This is why I need to use directory item (isFolder=true) and custom player instead of xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl. My first request will list all movies and when I click on the movie, it will do another request to local server and get available qualities of that specific movie. I wouldn't know how many qualities available when I requesting the movie list and I need to auto play if there's only one quality available. If there are more qualities available, then list them as a movie item again.

This is the part not working for me. When I user xbmc.player().play(), I cannot get ResumeTime work. anyone have any idea how I can get this ResumeTime work

python:


import sys, xbmc, xbmcgui, xbmcplugin



STREAM_URL = 'https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4'



def run(addon_url):

    # Play video

    if addon_url.endswith('/play'):

        # Only able to check the directory contents at this point (whether play video or display directories)

        listitem = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=STREAM_URL)

        listitem.setInfo('video', {})

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

        listitem.setProperty('ResumeTime', str(120))

        listitem.setProperty('TotalTime', str(300))

        # Kodi Player to stop script. hack to play video from directory item

        xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(int(sys.argv[1]), succeeded=False, listitem=listitem)

        xbmc.Player().play(STREAM_URL, listitem )



    # Setup menu item

    else:

        xbmcplugin.setContent(int(sys.argv[1]), 'videos')

        listitem = xbmcgui.ListItem(label='video mp4')

        listitem.setInfo('video', {})

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

        url = addon_url + '/play?mode=test2'

        xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(int(sys.argv[1]), url, listitem, isFolder=True)

        xbmcplugin.endOfDirectory(int(sys.argv[1]))



run(sys.argv[0])

I originally was going to suggest making them floats but that is an internal type.  I looked at my own code and I set them just like you do with strings.  One thing I see different is that I also set duration in the setInfo section but I suspect it might have something to do with setting IsFolder = True.

Hi Jeff, thank you for your reply.
it didn't work even when I change that to float. setProperty is only accepting string or unicode. I tried like this str('120.0'). still didn't work. I went through this same documentation before. but right now with your link I found that following code is doing the trick what I need. thanks

python:
listitem.setProperty('StartOffset', str(120))

also your documentation url is scrambled. I just corrected it here for future use. https://codedocs.xyz/AlwinEsch/kodi/grou...53667e7d81

StartOffset property on playitems isn't working, use xbmc.Player().SeekTime() instead. Not the best option and it's not exacly bulletproof, but I couldn't find any other solution.
