Still Confused about setResolvedUrl, IsPlayable & IsFolder for ListItems

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

I’ve seen the posts (here and here) about how setResolvedUrl should be used, but I’m still having issues getting it to work correctly in my plugin. I’ve read the xbmcplugin module documentation (here – This is an outdated documentation, but couldn’t find Krypton version) and for all of my menu items I’m setting `IsFolder` to False and the listitem property `IsPlayable` to true and providing the plugin callback as the url. That bit of code is as follows

Code:
list_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(label=label_text)
is_folder = False
list_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')
url = get_url(resolve=''.join([base, link[8:]]))
xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(_handle, url, list_item, is_folder)

Then, in my routing I pass the link in the `resolve` param to the following procedure

Code:
def play_video(link):
    """
    Play a video by the provided path.
    :param path: str
    :return: None
    """
    print 'link is :' + link
    
    vid = YDStreamExtractor.getVideoInfo(link,quality=1) #quality is 0=SD, 1=720p, 2=1080p and is a maximum
    if vid is not None:
        stream_url = vid.streamURL() #This is what Kodi (XBMC) will play
        print 'stream_url is :' + stream_url
        if stream_url is not None:
            if 'youtube.com' in stream_url:
                print stream_url.split('|')[0].split('=')[1]
                stream_url = 'plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?video_id=' + stream_url.split('|')[0].split('=')[1]
                
            # Create a playable item with a path to play.
            play_item = xbmcgui.ListItem(path=stream_url)
            play_item.setProperty('IsPlayable','true')
            xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(_handle, True, listitem=play_item)
    else:
        xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl(_handle, False, listitem=xbmcgui.ListItem())

This is only way I’ve been able to get the links to play when selected in the directory listing. However, after stopping the video I noticed the following errors/warnings in the debug log

I thought that by following the above links instructions in setting the list_items as IsFolder=False & IsPlayable=True that only the link that is selected will be processed, but from the above debug log it appears all of the list items are trying to be evaluated after stopping a video. What am I doing wrong? I’d really appreciate some input as for some reason I still cannot wrap my head around the correct usage of setResolvedUrl.
