what's wrong with my Autoexec.py script?

griffindodd · April 26, 2019 at 9:32 PM

I have created my autoexec.py file and placed it in /storage/.kodi/userdata/

I'm trying to just start a recurring slideshow using the contents of my picture folder in the default location...

Code

xbmc.executebuiltin('RecursiveSlideShow(/storage/.kodi/pictures/)')

I'm assuming I have my pathing wrong, but can't work it out. On restart Kodi does nothing

Do you have pictures in folder /storage/.kodi/Pictures/ ? I bet no.

I also tried this, but still no bananas...

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin( "RecursiveSlideShow(/storage/.kodi/pictures/)" )

I have .jpgs and some video files (with show videos in list checked in the options). I can run the slideshow successfully manually from within Kodi, but I just need it to auto start on boot.

I tried file from your first and works here. Enable kodi debug logging and look inside log for errors.
