Well, I think it was worth it! This is how cool stuff happens. The evolution of ideas, and cooperation. Just like on Sesame Street! You can thank Giftie yourself, since he is a member of the forum here now.

is there any point in making a triple feature command?

Actually I think it might be nice if we could have a command to just set up X number of random movies with intros and intermission... like party mode. Or possibly with some kind of criteria like genre, so we could have a command like "entertain the kids for 8 hours" and have it go into Cinema Experience with random movies from the "Family" genre.

lol. Maybe 8 hours is too much... but we could make them do exercises during intermission!

Always can be added.. Features for VoxCommando and other HTTP API apps are fairly easy to add, just need to get the syntax right... And HTTP API will still be around for at least another year, probably longer.

Random movies, Rating limits, by Year, by genre, by set..... If it's in the database, it can be matched..

and I don't have to make GUI...

Sorry Auri for taking so long to get your request done..

Kalle

It's not perfect yet....

Probably never will be...

I felt like I needed to make it up to those that use VoxCommando, I got the feeling that I stepped on your toes the most with the update last Tuesday....

Actuallly if it's possible, maybe we should just create an sql option in the CE plugin so we can construct our own queries. Would that be relatively easy on your end?

Stupid question perhaps but since we have the payloads and the GenXML's in Vox, why would we need an SQL db on the XBMC and it's addons'es end ?
Surely XBMC has it's native DB with all the lib content no ?

Just trying to understand where you're going to James.

jitterjames · « **Reply #104 on:** February 28, 2011, 09:32:26 AM »

Sure, XBMC has it's own DB obviously and we have the ability to scan it into payloadXML files and then request stuff by name. But maybe we don't always want to specify a movie by name.

Currently when we use the double feature command we are passing the names of the two movies we want to watch and then the CE plugin is creating its own SQL query to find and queue those movies.

I'm suggesting that we leave it more open and flexible so that we can send the actual SQL request that we want to use. This way we could ask it to Queue up 4 movies from 1972, or 3 movies from the "Family" genre, etc.

It makes more sense to use free SQL because then we can go crazy making any types of requests we want, and we won't need to bother Giftie every time we want to create something new.

If you don't know how to use SQL that's no problem because we can simply share our commands the way we normally do and eventually you'll get the hang of making your own.

If you look at how music is requested with mediaMonkey actions in VC this is exactly how it is done. We construct sql queries and then mediaMonkey loads the matching songs.
