Not too soon, this is a prove of concept version. e.g. the reset resume position/watched status is not working via widgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuentes 33 Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Actually, there's a third issue. After a Kodi restart, the widget will fail to load, and will just be blank. Simply reloading the skin brings the widget back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not actually a plugin issue, but the skin (helpers) are not loading them correctly. Restart Kodi and it will 90% work. Bit of a gamble at the moment, looks like a timing issue and those are the worst. Especially, if they are out of my (the plugin's) control.

I just finally updated. It required a Kodi restart, but it seems to be working still. Can you please tell me what changed? Nothing super obvious to me at the moment. I did notice that the widget worked directly from my Kodi restart, but I am still having trouble with STRM files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1352 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) STRM file: I assume you are talking about those these files in your playlist? /mnt/2TB_1/Completed/Youtube/Gordon Ramsay/2019/2019-11-21 Gordon Ramsay Challenges Hells Kitchen Contestant To A Thanksgiving Leftover Dish Ramsay In 10.strm Please post the content of the strm file. I think it's a link to youtube? Can you please tell me what changed? Do you really wanna know, it's about technical details. Kodi's listitems (the content link/path + metadata e.g. an episode) used for the view is handled differently for (custom -> not in Kodi's database) widgets. If content is included in Kodi's database, playback was fine from widget (synced content) and no further action required. If a dynamic content listitem is played from a listview (not from a widget), also fine. The listviews had always correct metadata assigned even for widgets (if you just focused a widget you saw the info). However, if you played the content via widget, Kodi did not use those listitem metadata and I had to assign AGAIN the same metadata to Kodi's player. This is not necessary for listitems player from a listview. Here the played used the (already existing listitems metadata). Imho a Kodi design flaw. The second problem was, assigning metadata to "folder" listitems. Kodi (sometimes) just crashed or didn't show the node content (unstable) even if the metadata are correct. If this happened, all nodes could be affected, not just the folder nodes. So I removed metadata from folders. Imho also a Kodi bug.

Just if the widget playback is now working -> no metadata issues, no crashed, proper widget loading. btw, I think I know the issue -> plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=_3ZayJoxuqI I assume dynamic content listitem are not respecting the "plugin://" prefix.

I played a STRM file without issue. Huge step forward. OSD was great the whole time. Then I tried to play a different video from the same widget (regular video, not a STRM), and got the old OSD again. I stopped the video and started it from the same widget again, and the OSD was correct that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just installed and will test after my db reset. Also, I've been using 7.11, and recently started getting the prompts to reboot because of changes to advancedsettings.xml, even though it hasn't been modified in weeks.

nuentes 33 Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 This new build is awesome. Getting metadata every time. It's damn near perfect. The only issue is with movies. My skin is reporting every movie as "in progress". When I start the movie, it begins at the start, but they all show on the skin that I'm about 25% complete. TV episodes are perfect.

I deleted, and a new one was rebuilt which I edited to add my path substitution back in, and have applied the new one in Kodi. I'll let you know if it keeps happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
