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!

Please help guys

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".

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.

[R.O.H.]

thank you, will do!

[da-anda]

you could write a python service that monitors f.e. the "onplaybackstarted" signal and then call your script in the background

[R.O.H.]

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.

[da-anda]

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

I hope can help you

I hope can help you

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.
