XBMC automatically play all videos in a permanent loop. Ideal for video presentations, digital signage or party mode.

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.PlayMedia("/storage/videos/","isdir")')
xbmc.executebuiltin('xbmc.PlayerControl(repeatall)')
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Fullscreen)")

Thanks, was a great starting point for me, but your script didn't work for me without a modification. This fixes it with Kodi 19.5 / Android 12 (running on a Chromecast with Google TV). Had to remove the "xmbc" from the actual commands. I'm guessing something has changed in the 9 years since you posted the above.

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('PlayMedia("smb://192.168.1.8/stuffage/DroneStuff/compressed","isdir")')
xbmc.executebuiltin('PlayerControl(RepeatAll)')

# if you want random
xbmc.executebuiltin('PlayerControl(RandomOn)')

xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Fullscreen)")

Thanks, maybe over 9 years XBMC changed a bit 😄

Ha yup. Thanks hugely for your script by the way, pointed me in the right direction.

Now I have an old TV happily cycling through my massive library of otherwise ignored videos I've shot on my drone.
