[cinema.experience] Trivia Music playback from folder #69

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In the XBMC forums SlaveUnit asks:

Is here any way we can have the music trivia part just play a random mp3 from a 
folder just like it does with choosing videos for all the other sections. That 
way when we add/take away mp3s we dont have to make a new playlist each time.

I think this might be the better way than a playlist.  We could offer the 
option of folder or playlist, then parse the playlist to fit the playback form 
being used for the folder.

Also should loop the music if it's found to be less than the length of the 
slideshow.

Because of the change in how XBMC handles playlists, we need to resolve #67 
(https://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/issues/detail?id=67&colspec=ID%20Type%20S
tatus%20Owner%20Summary) before we can tackle this one.

Impementation landed in r1936, needs further testing with windows file paths 
(local drives and network mapped drives) - smb based file paths (i.e. 
smb://<VOLUME>/<SHARE>/<Path>/) work fine.

Local and mapped drives fail on Windows. The log looks like the following:

it looks like the \ character needs to be escaped for the Files.GetDirectory 
call to work.

I've attached a patch (from latest svn) that escapes the \ character when given 
a windows folder path.

Ignore the patch, I've submitted to SVN with a different function name 
escapeDirJSON
