Trying to get some control of the Kodi plugin from HSTouch. triggering this causes an exception.

[happnatious1]

interesting, thumbnails for music would not display until I added a movie library on that kodi instance.

[happnatious1]

Not a big deal, I can use the other method. just trying to understand how the plug-in works.

Thanks for your help.

I have only created one playlist so far and added it to favorites. I'll create some more and give it a try.

I see the problem, your favourite has the type "window" which means that when you open this favourite in Kodi, it opens the screen where you can see the content of your playlist, but it does not start to play it.
The plug-in "Player Open Media" action can only open favourite of type "File".

Why do you try to use the favourite in the first place to play the playlist from Kodi? You said it worked when using the "Player Open Media" action with the m3u file as explained in this thread, so why don't use that?

[spud]

could you post the debug logs you get when you try to build this event.

can you select other favourites, or does the problem happen for all of them?

[happnatious1]

not sure I understand, you are now trying to use the "Player Open Media" action with media type = Favourite?
what do you mean by the plugin wont let you select it?

The following test event will show my playlist in the last dropdown but I cant select it.

[spud]

That worked.

However, I added my playlist to favorites, and the plugin sees it, but wont let me select it.

Running Kodi on my ubuntu homeseer server I created a playlist which is located here: /home/william/.kodi/userdata/playlists/metal.m3u however running an event like suggested doesn't do anything. Am I missing something?

have you tried to add the lines in advancedsettings.xml as explained in the first post?

what do you get in the logs, if you set the log level to debug?
