code to play a video file - R.O.H. - 2019-01-18
hi, can someone tell me where I can find the code which starts a video/.strm when I press play in Kodi? In what file is it stored?
Specifically: What does the syntax look like?
Thank you a lot!

Is there a fire somewhere, bumping your own thread after 7.5 hours?

Short answer: I believe it's somewhere around here.
Long answer: I know enough C++ to know I don't know enough C++ to be able to begin to describe how complex the actions Kodi takes when you "press play".
RE: code to play a video file - R.O.H. - 2019-01-18
thank you @MrTarantula
if that's too complex, maybe there is an easier way for my problem.
I want to execute a little script when I press the play button. It should still start the video, but should also execute my script with it.
Any idea how I can achieve that?
My workaround now looks like this:
I use "Play using ..." to execute my script.
Then I press play and the video starts.
So it's two steps which I'd like to combine into one.
Possible?

See my answer in your other thread.

thank you, will do!
RE: code to play a video file - da-anda - 2019-01-19
you could write a python service that monitors f.e. the "onplaybackstarted" signal and then call your script in the background
RE: code to play a video file - R.O.H. - 2019-01-19
thank you @da-anda
would I be able to run different scripts as well?
And where do I begin??
Trying to learn how to create an add-on for my purpose, but maybe this will be easier to start with.
RE: code to play a video file - da-anda - 2019-01-20
you should be able to do whatever you want in your add-on. But since I'm no python dev, it's better to ask for help in the python add-on development section. Also having a look at our wiki should help to get you going with creating your own add-on

It's okay to help, but NOT by providing videos displaying Kodi setups that are using banned add-ons.
We have a 0-tolerance for video piracy on this forum. So... Don't do that again.

xbmc/cores/videoplayer/videoplayer.cpp
Find: void CVideoPlayer::OnStartup()

Add your script here.
