[mythtv-users] playslist for recorded tv?
in the watch recordings menu, it's possible to select a recorded program, push the right button, and then select add to playlist. does anyone know a) what this playlist is? -- I've never seen it actually activated. b) whether there's some way to manipulate the playlist more directly (e.g. change the order in which shows are viewed, etc c) escape into the playlist while viewing, etc... The playlist would be very useful for me as my kids watch shows that are 12-19 minutes long -- I'dl ike to set them up with an hour of TV in such a way that I don't have to run upstairs to the TV every 10 minutes. However, I haven't been able to use the playlist in a useful way at all. And while the docs talk about playlists for mythmusic, I don't see any such discussion for straight mythtv. failing a builtin playlist generator, anyone have any ideas for command-line playlist generation? thanks, matt --- Matt Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] History Department, University of Toronto (416) 978-2094 ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

in the watch recordings menu, it's possible to select a recorded program, push the right button, and then select add to playlist. After you tag a few recordings, hit the MENU key and you'll find a few things you can do with the playlist. -- Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

It is what it says, a playlist of recordings. You can activate it by pressing MENU and the Playlist Options to get options for playing as well as other manipulations of the list b) whether there's some way to manipulate the playlist more directly (e.g. change the order in which shows are viewed, etc No c) escape into the playlist while viewing, etc... I'm not sure what this means, perhaps if you could clarify The playlist would be very useful for me as my kids watch shows that are 12-19 minutes long -- I'dl ike to set them up with an hour of TV in such a way that I don't have to run upstairs to the TV every 10 minutes.

I use this just for that all the time. Add each item to the playlist in the order you want, then press MENU to start it. It even has a shuffle mode if you want. I expect to make good use of this during the superbowl where we watch the game upstairs and I rack up 4 hours worth of shows for the kids downstairs.

What i am suggesting goes outside the mythtv gui, but you could make a playlist at the command line, it is just a list of the files to play in text format and one file per line. Call the file, say, kidsplaylist, and put it in the directory where mythvideo files are kept. Then set mythvideo to play that file with a custom mplayer command line that includes this: mplayer -playlist %s (and all the other mplayer options you use by default) then to play the kids playlist you go to the mythvideo interface and select kidsplaylist, and the shows will play.
