Action(Play) #57

Closed redraw closed 3 years ago

redraw commented 9 years ago

Hello, Just one more question. I've been trying to send kodi built-in function "Action(Play)" but using your skin it doesn't seem to respond. Do you guess what could be the problem?

I've tried sending it through "kodi-send" in ssh, inside a Picture folder, as to start a Slideshow.

Your skin is great.

Hi Redraw,

I need more detail please. What are you trying to achieve? Does it work on skins other than Maximinimalism?

I'm writing an autoexec.py (the startup script) in which I need to play a Slideshow from Pictures. Just to test, I use SSH and do kodi-send commands:

kodi-send -a "ActivateWindow(Pictures, /storage/pictures)" // that works
kodi-send -a "Action(Play)" // nothing happens

As you may know kodi-send is used to send the Kodi's Built-in functions through command-line. Action(Play) in Confluence skin works.

There's a builtin function to call the Slideshow, however Kodi still doesn't consider videos when calling it (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6350), at least in stable releases.

I need to show pictures and videos. So, the only way I was able to do that was like reproducing the user flow using that two lines above.

OK, I'll take a look and get back to you ASAP

Thanks! it's strange I guess, I don't think the skin should be responsible for that. Maybe you can test if this happens to you. I could just change back to Confluence but I want to keep using your skin :-)
