V2 and Piers Work #4
Conversation
WalkthroughRemoved the Playback dataclass and adjusted player, store, and plugin code: imports made explicit, logging and truthy checks updated, Switchback state force-reloaded on finish, plugin run signature changed to no-args, PVR handling clarified, and delete/listing flows hardened. Changes

I don't like the Logger changes as that prints two lines instead of one. Don't suggest those changes anymore. And the addon won't change ID so that is not of interest either. |

85-90: Verify URL choice when adding directory itemsUsing playback.file for non-addon sources and playback.path for add-ons makes sense. Confirm that all plugin-provided items are marked source == "addon" (or that playback.path starts with plugin://), so addDirectoryItem always receives a playable URL for e.g., YouTube, Netflix, etc.
You can quickly scan stored items’ sources/paths via a debug dump of Store.switchback.list.
39-46: Extra file/path logging is helpful for diagnosticsThe additional logs for both path and file will expedite diagnosing mismatches (e.g., PVR path vs stream URL).
resources/lib/store.py (2)
3-7: Good move to explicit importsReplacing wildcard imports with explicit ones improves readability and static analysis. Using xbmcvfs.translatePath at class init is appropriate here.
60-63: Clarified Flatten TV Shows setting semanticsNoting that videolibrary.flattentvshows is an int (0/1/2) avoids future misinterpretations.
resources/lib/player.py (4)
34-41: Switchback detection and reuse looks correctChecking ListItem or Home window property, then reusing the stored Playback, matches the intended flow. Setting the Home window property on success ensures onPlaybackFinished can identify Switchback-originated sessions.
47-53: Creation path is clear and correctFallback to creating a new Playback with details from the current ListItem is appropriate when no prior record is found.
96-103: Double-check Flatten TV Shows == 1 branchCurrent logic browses to season when totalseasons > 1, else stays at show root. This aligns with Kodi’s “If only one season” UX (single-season shows are flattened at the show root). If that’s your intended navigation, keep as-is; otherwise switch the comparison to == 1.
112-122: Update-in-place preserves metadataRemoving the prior entry, updating resume/total times (skipping pvr_live), and reinserting at the top maintains metadata integrity and expected ordering.

50-56: Switchback playback resolution flow looks good.Setting properties and resolving via setResolvedUrl with the constructed ListItem aligns with the player’s Switchback detection and should improve PVR/library handling.
Please confirm PVR entries now play end-to-end with this flow (especially with create_list_item_from_playback selecting the correct file URL for pvr_live).

31-46: Switchback re-use on AV start is solid.Re-using existing Playback when Switchback properties are present avoids losing metadata; setting the Home Window property for later cleanup is neat.

Restore the stored playback lookup before firing the PVR hack
Skipping the Store.switchback.find_playback_by_path lookup means we still call PlayMedia with the Kodi DB path. In the sample switchback.json we debugged, that path was pvr://… while the playable stream lived in playback.file, so PVR entries continue to fail.
Before:
builtin = f'PlayMedia("{path}")'
Logger.debug("Work around PVR links not being handled by ListItem/setResolvedUrl - use PlayMedia instead:", builtin)
Store.update_home_window_switchback_property(path)
xbmc.executebuiltin(builtin)
After:
playback = Store.switchback.find_playback_by_path(path)
playback_target = path
if not playback:
Logger.error("No stored playback found for PVR path:", path)
elif playback.source == "pvr_live" and playback.file:
playback_target = playback.file
builtin = f'PlayMedia("{playback_target}")'
Logger.debug("Work around PVR links not being handled by ListItem/setResolvedUrl - use PlayMedia instead:", builtin)
Store.update_home_window_switchback_property(path if not playback else playback.path)

@coderabbitai this is incorrect, we may have been confused. I can confirm the PVR live playbacks work with the current code. |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes. 🧩 Analysis chain@bossanova808: This is a classic Kodi timing issue! You're absolutely right that the Based on common Kodi plugin timing issues, here are several solutions you could try: Option 1: Delay the refresh using a timer # Before:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Refresh')
# After:
def delayed_refresh():
xbmc.sleep(500) # Wait 500ms
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Refresh')
# Start the delayed refresh in a separate thread
import threading
threading.Thread(target=delayed_refresh).start()Option 2: Use Container.Update instead of Container.Refresh # Before:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Refresh')
# After:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Update')Option 3: Multiple refresh attempts with delays # Before:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Refresh')
# After:
def multi_refresh():
for delay in [100, 500, 1000]:
xbmc.sleep(delay)
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Refresh')
threading.Thread(target=multi_refresh).start()Option 4: Use UpdateLibrary if it's a library view # Before:
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Refresh')
# After:
xbmc.executebuiltin('UpdateLibrary(video)')
xbmc.executebuiltin('Container.Refresh')The most reliable approach is usually Option 1 with a small delay, as it gives Kodi time to fully return to the listing before triggering the refresh. The 500ms delay is usually sufficient but you might need to experiment with the timing. 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 495 @bossanova808: Perfect! I can see the issue now.

import threading
threading.Thread(target=delayed_refresh).start()The 750ms delay should give Kodi enough time to fully transition back to the plugin listing before triggering the refresh. You might need to adjust this timing if 750ms isn't quite right - some systems might need as little as 500ms or as much as 1000ms. This approach uses threading so it doesn't block the main playback cleanup process, and the delay ensures the refresh happens when Kodi is actually displaying the plugin listing. 🧠 Learnings used |

@coderabbitai that works, is there a way to use the Kodi alarm clock mechanism rather than threading, perhaps? |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes. 🧩 Analysis chain@bossanova808: Absolutely! Kodi's AlarmClock builtin is perfect for this use case. It allows you to schedule commands to run after a specified time without needing threading. Here's how to implement it using Kodi's native alarm system: Before: # And update the current view so if we're in the Switchback plugin listing, it gets refreshed
# Use a delayed refresh to ensure Kodi has fully returned to the listing
def delayed_refresh():
xbmc.sleep(750) # Wait 750ms for UI to settle
xbmc.executebuiltin("Container.Refresh")
import threading
threading.Thread(target=delayed_refresh).start()After: # And update the current view so if we're in the Switchback plugin listing, it gets refreshed
# Use Kodi's AlarmClock to delay the refresh until UI has settled
xbmc.executebuiltin('AlarmClock(SwitchbackRefresh,Container.Refresh,00:00:01,silent)')The AlarmClock syntax is: AlarmClock(name, command, time, silent) where the time can be in seconds or HH:MM:SS format. Using This is much cleaner than threading and uses Kodi's built-in scheduling system. The alarm automatically cleans up after execution, so no memory concerns either. discovering elegant Kodi built-ins 🌐 Web query: 💡 Result: Short answer: Kodi's built‑in AlarmClock schedules a delayed built‑in command and runs it when the timer expires using the syntax AlarmClock(name,command[,time,silent,loop]) Details:
If you need more control (blocking wait, more complex scheduling, or running arbitrary Python code), use a service/add‑on (e.g. script.service.alarmclock) or implement scheduling inside an addon and call xbmc.executebuiltin/RunScript at the right time.

Let me search for information about detecting which addon triggered playback. @bossanova808: This is an interesting question about Kodi's addon detection capabilities. Based on my knowledge of Kodi's Python API, detecting which addon triggered playback is unfortunately quite limited, but there are some methods available: Available Methods (with limitations):
Practical Implementation: Before: # Basic source detection
playback.source = "unknown"After: # Enhanced addon detection
def detect_addon_source():
addon_name = None
# Method 1: Check playing file for plugin URL
try:
playing_file = xbmc.Player().getPlayingFile()
if playing_file.startswith('plugin://'):
addon_id = playing_file.split('/')[2]
addon_name = addon_id
return f"addon:{addon_name}"
except:
pass
# Method 2: Check container context
try:
container_path = xbmc.getInfoLabel('Container.FolderPath')
if 'plugin://' in container_path:
addon_id = container_path.split('/')[2]
addon_name = addon_id

Avoid the janky notification from Kodi, seems faster too.
