Next/Previous Chapter JSON commands?

[Tech127 20]

Maybe this is better asked on the Kodi forum but you guys are awesome so I'll start here.

 

Since E4K, my chapter next/previous commands aren't working.  It displays a message about there being no more items in the playlist and exits the movie.

 

My current commands are:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "skipnext" }, "id": 1 }

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "skipprevious" }, "id": 1 }

According to Kodi, this command "only skips chapters if there is no playlist, otherwise it skips to the next item in the playlist".

 

It worked fine before E4K so I assume Kodi somehow sees a movie as a playlist when it's played with E4K?  Is there a different JSON command I can send that would make it play nice?

You can also disable the play next item automatically see if it makes a difference. In kodi settings > video I believe

Yes I think in addon playback mode the item is added to a playlist to support trailers etc.

 

If your playback is all local you could switch to using Native playback instead of addon playback in the addon, this adds the direct paths to the Kodi db and Kodi playback is as Native as if there was no addon installed.

 

You will need to do a db reset if you switch playback modes.

 

Thanks, I'll probably give that a try this weekend.  I really like the idea of add-on playback but not having the chapter skip function can be a real bummer with the kids.

Thanks for the reply, Angel.  Unfortunately, that doesn't help.  It was already disabled.
