the script was tested and optimized, you have to see if you can add it in the next update of the script.http://glass.googlecode.com/files/RandomItems.py
thank you

thanx a bunch for the improvements frost!

i really like this one:

Code:

try: import json # Use speedup
except: import simplejson as json # No speed

might be worth adding it to all the other scripts that use json as well :-)


since i really would like to avoid the file existence checks (which would cause my drives to spin up each time the script runs),
wouldn't it be possible to check for the cached thumb instead?

[Martijn]

maybe add season banners as well when you're at it.

So json is faster as simplejson? Will you need to make much changes to the coding to use it that way?

[ronie]

So json is faster as simplejson?

json uses a binary lib to speed things up, so yeah it's faster.

it might not be available on all platforms though.

Will you need to make much changes to the coding to use it that way?

change:

Code:

import simplejson

to:

Code:

try: import json as simplejson
except: import simplejson

[Martijn]

change:

Code:

import simplejson

to:

Code:

try: import json as simplejson
except: import simplejson

Why aren't things always this easy

hi,
my drives no spin up, but ok I look this week...
for me, this function "self._fetch_song_info()" is not good. jsonrpc freeze xbmc 2 seconds, because I have 3000 songs. :p


for a moment, I added params to get extra images "extraimages=True" default False and removed file existence checks in addons info

Code:

- changed: [addon info] file existence checks for "fnmatch - Unix filename pattern matching"
- changed/added: setting param 'extraimages=True' to retrieve extra images for episode (Warning: possible hard drive spin up on check existence)
                 RunScript(script.randomitems,limit=10&unplayed=True&alarm=30&extraimages=True)
- updated README.txt

I created branches on my svn, for history change/diff
http://code.google.com/p/passion-xbmc/so...ail?r=1039

3.0.8 http://code.google.com/p/passion-xbmc/so...y&old=1037

3.0.9 http://code.google.com/p/passion-xbmc/so...y&old=1038

maybe add season banners as well when you're at it.

Not sure for save method season banner :confused2: ! do you want explain a little bit

hi,
my drives no spin up, but ok I look this week...

well, if you use xbmcvfs.exists(), it has to spin up the drive to check if the file exists :-)

i've double-checked it on my end,
before running the script:

Code:

root@xbmc:/home/xbmc# hdparm -C /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
drive state is:  standby

after running the script:

Code:

root@xbmc:/home/xbmc# hdparm -C /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
drive state is:  active/idle

for me, this function "self._fetch_song_info()" is not good. jsonrpc freeze xbmc 2 seconds, because I have 3000 songs. :p

i have about 12000 songs in my library, but have never experienced any lockups...

for a moment, I added params to get extra images "extraimages=True" default False and removed file existence checks in addons info

nice, having it as an option would be the way to go, if we can't do it by checking for the cached thumbs instead.

stupid question, but is there any way I could map a button on my remote to launch this? Eden Beta 3 here if that matters.

Thanks for the reply, that's not doing anything for me though. I tried what you posted, and since I'm running Eden I tried XBMC.RunScript, no dice. Isn't the XBMC. needed when you're using Eden?
And I tried

<m mod="ctrl">XBMC.RunScript(script.randomitems,limit=1&amp;albums=False&amp;unplayed=True)</m>

edited my keyboard.xml and it's definitely mapped to a valid key, this is the latest thing I tried
<m mod="ctrl">RunScript(script.randomitems,limit=1&amp;unplayed=True&amp;alarm=30)</m>

I used just (script.randomitems) with no luck. I tried 3 different skins, I selected the "play random movie" option in Alaska, so I know it is working. I just can't figure out how to map it

[Hitcher]

That only runs the script to generate a list of random items not to actually play them. For that you'll need to add to that button (if that's possible) or to another one this -

PHP Code:

PlayMedia("$INFO[Window.Property(RandomMovie.1.Path)]")

hi,

i'm having trouble with my random items in xperiece1080 skin. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I tried removing the script, downloading it and reinstalling. Here's the pastebin:

http://pastebin.com/dzYMv7v0

thnx

[Hitcher]

It's not been run in that log?

[LoL]

I found a bug when playing a multi cd movie from this script: it only shows the first cd. Playing it from library goes without problems.

I've attached a debug log to pastebin: here

what i did was:
- startup
- start al multi cd movie from Spotlight (randomitems script in Xperience1080)
- forward to the end (which is just the end of cd one)
- look up the movie in Movies and start it from there (then it plays normal, the complete 2cds)

Hope this helps!


Thx, LoL
