 Using tvid="Play"
Hi,
Can someone explain how tvid="Play" is used in myiHome and the normal NMT file browser to start a playlist from the selected item? Looking at the page source of a file list from myiHome I only see a single hidden link that's assigned to the Play button that generates a playlist, but doesn't seem to contain anything to suggest it knows which file to start the playlist from. Each file item has it's own link assigned to a number button to play the individual item, as expected when you press Enter. So, if I have a menu of eight files and press Play on the third file how does the underlying app know that play was pressed on the third file to generate the appropriate playlist?

RE: Using tvid="Play"
I could probably answer this for you but I'd need to see the html your taking about. I've never run myihome nor do I have it setup to look.

RE: Using tvid="Play"
myiHome serves pages that contain:
Code: <!-- invisible link eg. tvid=refresh -->The visible link for track 4 could be: Code: <a href="http://localhost:8000/perform?id=5422&counter=2&application=music&action=playsong" tvid="4" style="width:280" name="item4x" onkeyrightset="item4x" pod="2,1,http://localhost:8000/perform?list=music%2fLossless%2fMoody%2520Blues%2520MFSL%2520Collection%2520Plus%2fThe%2520Moody%2520Blues%2520-%2520A%2520Question%2520Of%2520Balance%2520%2528MFSL%2529%2520%25281969%2529%2528flac%2529&application=music&action=goslide" onkeyleftset="home" onkeydownset="item5x" onkeyupset="item3x"><font class="text"><marquee behavior="focus" width="280">03 - And The Tide Rushes In</marquee></font></a>How does the PCH know I had track 4 highlighted when I press Play? Do I have have to set the name to 'item4x' or something else? SwissCenter Developer Players: Popcorn A-300 | Popcorn A-200 | Popcorn A-100 | Netgear EVA700 AV: Pioneer VSX-915 | Samsung LE40C650 |

RE: Using tvid="Play"
Sorry, forgot we started to talk about this.. From what you posted, I agree and don't see anything that should be linking them (unless there is something hidden in gaya they are using and we just don't know it)..
I suspect there is probably additional javascript you may not have posted which may not be obvious it's moving the onclick. |

RE: Using tvid="Play"
There must be something in gaya that is not documented anywhere but the desired effect must be deducable.
An entire page is as follows, no j Code: <!-- invisible link eg. tvid=refresh -->I don't think the hidden links are required for what I want though since the hidden Play link effectively plays the whole folder.

RE: Using tvid="Play"
It sounds like it must trigger playing all links with vod in it.

RE: Using tvid="Play"
It has been a long time since I last read gaya code. IIRC, when you press a link with tvid, eg tvid="play", gaya will append the currently focused item link to the end of tvid link. So let's say your cursor is at item 3 when you press the PLAY key, the link that passed to the server will be
http://localhost:8000/perform?list=video%2fCartoons%2fPixar%2520Shorts&application=video&action=playlist&page=&http://localhost:8000/perform?id=8830&counter=1&application=video&action=playvideo Can you use a network packet capture program to check the link that is sent to the server? Or if you are able to check the page generated when browsing local storage files, I think you can see it more clearly. |

RE: Using tvid="Play"
Please test out and see if you need more info. I can dig out the source code if necessary.

RE: Using tvid="Play"
If I look at mono output on the A1x0 when it plays from myiHome it uses that second syntax and you can see the syntax written to stdout
mono -playlist http://ip:8000/perform?id=257&counter=0&application=video&action=playvideo -dram 1 Note the second ip is probably on localhost if the myiHome server is on the NMT. Martin |

With a folder containing 3 videos I monitored the same communictaion when pressing Play on each video, ie. it simply generated a playlist of the whole folder and started playing from the first item. Code: GET /perform?list=video%2fComedy&application=video&action=playlist&page= HTTP/1.0Even if we succeed in appending the currently focused item link is it even possible to send a playlist to the player and tell it to start on item 3?

RE: Using tvid="Play"
Quote:is it even possible to send a playlist to the player and tell it to start on item 3 I believe teh answer is no. yamj makes it's playlist files by starting at #3 and adding 1,2 to the end of the list. I know it's popular for tv show viewing and concert videos where you might want to start at a specific but still see them all. |
