Mirror mode about play-to-xbmc-chrome HOT 6 CLOSED

Sounds like a good idea. But how do you handle videos that are already playing when you visit a valid site? Do you just play the current site or queue it?

Calling it mirror mode seems a little misleading. People might think XBMC will show whatever is seen in their browser, as in a true mirror mode. Maybe call it auto play? Or something along those lines.

Yes, 'auto play' is better name.

Here is my idea, lets say you have playlist on youtube.com or mycloudplayers.com (i'm not sure about playlists on other sites).
As you start playing first media, XBMC will start, and will continue playing as the playlist goes on client tab.
I have xbmc server in my other room, and i want to play same music there too.

Same thing goes if you want to search for media and play, if it plays on client browser, it will be played automatically on xbmc.

I'll check what's happening on other supported sites with playlists.

I've been thinking of changing the behaviour of the 'Play Now' and 'Queue' buttons when viewing a playlist, for example http://youtube.com/playlist, so that 'Play Now' will stop whatever is playing and start playing the whole playlist and the 'Queue' button will queue the whole youtube playlist in XBMC instead of always needing to use the 'Queue Playlist' button.

What you could do is add another option that's something like 'Autoplay default action' and have a dropdown to select 'Play' or 'Queue'. Then in the onUpdate() listener, just call the method for playCurrentUrl() or queueCurrentUrl() depending on the selected option. I'll eventually modify the behaviour of those methods to act like I described above.

I'm almost done with the code. But, I've updated XBMC to v13 rc1 and it looks like there's problem with soundcloud plugin.
On xbmc start, everything is working fine, when i want to push another track from remote or on url change, the player stops and nothing happens.
Is anyone experiencing same problems on v13?
