Ok. So I have been able to create the playlist perennialseries.m3u and moved it to the loaction /storage/.kodi/userdata/playlists/video
I then tried entering code into the Terminal but nothing happens. Do I need to then type something to call the function to run it?
Ah, really sorry have tried searching everywhere for this information - it's very basic, but how can I see the file path? My video is called "perennialseries.mp4" and is located on an external SSD called "T7" which is plugged into my Raspberry Pi. I can't seem to find the file path information anywhere.
Wow thanks Mario, going to try this today. I really appreciate the help here - it's pretty cool.
Ah great, thank you Adam! Will try this tomorrow 
Thanks so much Mario, will try this and see how it goes. Just checking - do I need to enter this code via SSH Terminal on my Mac?
Hi, I am totally new to LibreELEC, Kodi, Python and Raspberry Pi. I have no coding experience!
I have installed the latest version of LibreELEC on my Raspberry Pi 4, and some addons - Raspberry Pi tools.
I just need to play a video on a loop that is stored on the SSD I have connected to the pi.
I've wired a motion detector to the GPIO pins and want the video to pause and play in response to motion detected in a room.
I'm using LibreELEC because the video is 4K - it needs to be at this high resolution.
I can't work out how to even invoke the python interpreter from Kodi. Do I have to do this from a Terminal on my Macbook connecting via SSH to the pi? Do I type a python script into the Terminal on my Macbook once connected to the pi? Or is there an add on in kodi to bring up a shell where I can type the python code?
I had someone helping me to do this but have had to now do it myself.... any help would be amazing. It's for art if that makes a difference?!
