Play All
« on: October 27, 2013, 12:43:17 pm »

I know when playing Audio you can navigate to a list of albums and hit Play All to add them all to your Playlist and start playing.
After the first song play, the second starts automatically, etc, etc....

I have a Button assigned with the Rules SubMedia=TV Show, Genre=Comedy, Shuffle and when clicked will bring up a Playlist comprised of all of my Comedy TV Shows shuffled.

Is there no option to Play All within video?

I would like them to start playing and to continue playing show after show unattended just like the Audio Playlist does.

Is there a way to do this?

Reason being, sometimes when having friends over it is nice just to start the TV playing without worrying about it. No one asking to play this, or play that because they know it is unattended. At the moment, I have to go to XBMC and use PseudoTV to achieve this. (which is a PITA as the video suffers)....

or, when playing music videos, can you make a playlist and have them all play unattended?

I have the "Play All" choice in my Video>TV Shows listings. perhaps you need to have a "Series" to get the Play All.

Thanks, a step in the right direction.
I added 'Names' and it gave me the Play All option. A bit awkward but it works somewhat.

As it is, when choosing this option, it takes you to a screen showing an All episodes button and also buttons for each individual episode contained within the All episodes group. (But NO Play All button)
Then by clicking on the All episodes button, it opens a new screen with all episodes displayed AND the Play All button.

Is it possible to just go straight to this second screen with the Play All option?
I think Mr C helped last time with a situation like this... and it could be just the type of button used from the top level?
