Creating a playlist from a plugin (1 Viewer)

[hikarurd]

I'm trying to figure out how to build a playlist from within a plug
I can create the playlist but I can not see it when I go back to mediaport and look for it.
I am trying to load into the current playlist

basically i do this

                                PlayListItem newItem = new PlayListItem(ep.EpisodeName,fn,0);
                                newItem.Type = PlayListItem.PlayListItemType.Video;
                                newItem.FileName = fn;
                                playlist.Add(newItem);

When I look at the playlist from the debugger it looks ok

when I go into mediaport and select playlist the current playlist is empty

what is the correct process to build and then start playing a playlist?

Thank you

Can anyone point me to where I might find out how to access playlists (create, play, save) from within a plug-in?

I think you need to specify the playlist you want to add the items to

You are obviously looking at video playlists but it should basically be the same as music

Try the AddItemsToPlaylist method in WebSVN - MediaPortal - Rev 27491 - /trunk/mediaportal/WindowPlugins/GUIMusic/GUIMusicBaseWindow.cs

I think you just need to add

      playlistPlayer = PlayListPlayer.SingletonPlayer;
PlayList pl = playlistPlayer.GetPlaylist(PlayListType.Video);
playlistPlayer.CurrentPlaylistType = PlayListType.Video;

(I typed this manually so needs checking )
