Video screen acting strange

[a06lp]

Hi,

I am trying to get my home videos screen to work properly but I am getting some strange behavior. I'm sure it's something stupid I forgot, and I need some help figuring out what I missed.

I copied the screen file from my TV section (based on Colby2 skin), and did a find&replace for 'tv' to 'videos' in notepad.

When I select any video from the list, then entire list is getting sent to Media Player Classic (my video player) as a playlist.
I want it to just play the one video I click.

Can someone take a look (videos.xml)?

Thanks in advance!

run MPC
right clic
View / Playlist
right clic in the playlist zone and Remember items must be off
If you look at the events there is 2 ways to run videos : play or add : be sure that the argument is play

... but what if I want to queue up a lot of shows?

also, i unchecked 'remmber in MPC, but that didn't help.
As for 'play' vs 'add' - where do you put that event?

where do you put that event?

on french forum, we don't use the Files types option in the setup.

we use an event execute files for all videos and asign this event to one play button or to the category.

test with a french skin and look the eventgroup.

edit : for movies videos we use Ant Movies Catalog with Xant Plugin and for offline videos we use an Script.

we use an event execute files for all videos and asign this event to one play button or to the category.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Can you explain this more fully?

[sagitaz]

my "play videos" event. i asign it to my videosdetails category.

you can change on the arguments /play for /add.

you can create a toggle button for change video mode ( play or add ).

[a06lp]

oh!

now i get it.

time to re-organize my events.

Thanks so much, sagitaz.

@sagitaz:

Could you please upload your events file? I'd like to look at it, and maybe 'borrow' from it?

Thanks.

[sagitaz]

look this : http://www.france.xlobby.com/forum/sagitaz/temp/eventgroups.zip

all off my skin eventgroup. for the videos events look the "CMD_Videos.xml" files.

[a06lp]

thanks.

hi sagitaz,

i have another question.
this method of

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mplayerc.exe
/fullscreen /play "%videos>parameter%" /close

works great for my videos, but i am trying to apply it to my tv:

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mplayerc.exe
/fullscreen /play "%tv>parameter%" /close

The problem is that my TV has sub-screens:
D:\TV\Series\Season\EpNum - EpTitle.*
So as soon as I select a Series, it begins to play.
How do I make it wait until the episode to play?

[sagitaz]

can you mail me your TV database : mailto:sagitaz@xlobby-france.com

i look it and search the solution.

[a06lp]

sent.

[sagitaz]

ok, when you create the event "execute files", this parameter : %tv>parameter%, tv = category name and not database name.

if you create a screen with a category "qwerty" and asign it the tv database, you need use %qwerty>parameter% in the execute files event.

[a06lp]

hi

thanks for your response. the problem is that "tv" is also the name of my category - so acording to you, it should work.

again, the problem is that when i click a series, all the episodes (in all the seasons of that series) queue up and play.
it should go into the subsections and THEN play...
