Thanks a lot for taking the time to look through my logs.
About old/invalid url's for trailers because of being old, if this is the case I can live with it. I will just have to pester someone about the scrapers for updating trailer metadata. Is there some way I can confirm that this is the problem first though? When I looked at the log I could not figure out what URL to try and what movie in XBMC to try the 'trailer' option for. Could you point out if the info is there at all? (movie name for where trailer is from I guess is what I need?)
I noticed that you use MySQL for your database. You should be able to view your database and view your Trailer paths. Then you can try those movies(then edit your database to get rid of the non working ones)
Quote:I wonder if you can get feedback from XBMC that a clip did not play? Then the script could add another trailer? Even if you can't tell if it is a valid stream beforehand, maybe you can tell if it successfully played or not afterward ? Or will this not work because it is just a playlist being played and script's work is done?You got it right in the end, the script builds a playlist, then sits in the background triggering events when they need to happen(Home Automation triggers)
Quote:This problem with totalclips is the main thing I would like to solve because it was happening near continuous for me on the weekend. My impression is that it sits there indefinitely until I use the escape key to back out, but maybe I can get a more useful log if I let it sit there for 5 - 10 minutes and see if it ever naturally ends or continues? What do you think? Or is there some other useful troubleshooting I could do?
thanks so much for providing your time to help and for programming this!
You can try that. I'll put the links in my test script and try to figure out what might be going wrong...
