I cannot get the randomalbums to display. Is this a fault of the script or has anybody got it working. In the log it seems to only load the query from songsview, not albumview:

how come i'm always convinced i've tested everything throughly before releasing it
and than after a day or two it turns out certain parts just don't work at all? ;-)

I know what you mean, that sort of thing always happens to me too.
That fixed it. Thx.

I use this to play the album:

Code:

<onclick>PlayList.Clear</onclick>
              <onclick>PlayMedia(&quot;$INFO[Window.Property(RandomAlbum.%d.Path)]&quot;)</onclick>

[ronie]

I can't play a album list however:

nothing's changed in this regard, so you still need to use:

Code:

<onclick>$INFO[Window.Property(RandomAlbum.%d.Path)]</onclick>

[BigNoid]

Okay, I was using the new recentlyadded way of playing albums. It's working now, thx ronie.

[musera]

I've been trying to hack this script to do what I want but I can't seem to get it to work. I find the idea of a random t.v episode utterly pointless, it rarely gives anything of use. I'm quite aware this script picks a random unwatched T.V episode but what I want is the next unwatched episode from a random t.v series.

Problem is I can't seem to get this to work as I want. I've always been quite a reasonable programmer but I've never used python and always had a bit of a weakness with sql ... basically the things I need for this

Anyone able to help? This is just for my own personal use with the Xeebo skin.

[Hitcher]

@ ronie are you pushing this soon?

[ronie]

@ ronie are you pushing this soon?

i'm still in doubt...

i recently noticed there's quite a delay when fetching fanart for episodes with json.
as a result it will take ~6 secs for the randomitems script to come up with all the results.

might not be a big issue as you'll only notice it at startup, when the script runs for the first time,
but i keep my fingers crossed it may be possible to speed things up a bit.

I used this to run script

Code:

a few stupid questions, if I may:

- it seams that it's trying to fetch random addons, although I did not set addons=True ?
- there seams that older, both dharma and pre-eden compatible version 1.0.12 is no more?

[MarcosQui]

Ronie, just to inform:

script randomitems 3.0.2 + Aeon MQ 3 (alpha 1) + XBMC Eden (build 17th july) + Windows 7 32bits and 64bits = works perfectly.

[pecinko]

script randomitems 3.0.2 + Aeon MQ 3 (alpha 1) + XBMC Eden (build 17th july) + Windows 7 32bits and 64bits = works perfectly.

It seams to work for me too. However, I see only version 2.0 in

Code:

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/eden-pre/

so users will get errors if they don't manually install new version?

[MarcosQui]

Version 3.0.2:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=832...stcount=92

[ronie]

and I got this returned to log

that issue was fixed in v3.0.2

- it seams that it's trying to fetch random addons, although I did not set addons=True ?

correct, the script doesn't have any options to enable/disable certain catagories.

- there seams that older, both dharma and pre-eden compatible version 1.0.12 is no more?

nope, v1.0.11 is for dharma, v2.0.0 for eden.
v3.0.2 is the latest test version that will replace v2.0.0 one day.

[pecinko]

@ OK, thanks for info. Let me try to sum it up:

- Older version 1 is not compatible with nighties
- Version 2 works, but gives an error because of addons (and you can not turn those off)
- Version 3 works nicely but is not available from a repo
- Users experiencing errors should manually DL version 3.02, which will eventually be in the repo but not just yet

Or did I miss something?

[ronie]

Or did I miss something?

nope.

the bug sucks indeed, so i'll submit v3.0.2 to the repo today/tomorrow.
