AutoVoice Play Movies or TV Shows in Kodi with Natural Language commands using custom Types

How would I make this work for lets say YouTube or Netflix?

 

I'm hoping that you may help me in solving my problem. I'm very new to this, so please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area. I'm trying to follow your instructions so that I can use my voice to play movies on Kodi. I understand everything until I get step 7

• Start by setting %movie to the name of any movie in your library so you can easily test the task
• Get the movie id by using an AutoXBMC Query action and querying your movies setting Filter 1 to Title Is %movie
• Flash %axids1 to make sure that the first result has an ID
• Add an AutoXBMC Control action
• Set Media ID to %axids1
• Set Media Type to Movie
• Enable Resume

I'm not sure I understand the first three bullet points and so therefore when I test everything out I get the following results (see attached). What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for your assistance.

Not sure if I missed something but ran into a issue that had me stumped for a while, when creating the play next episode task and you query for unwatched episodes and sort by date it doesn't seem to affect the order of %axids, I found axid1 was always the highest ID number, to work around this I just needed to set max nr results to 1 and problem solved.

 

gman04 im no expert on this by a long way but while im here its seems to be having trouble pulling the movie ID based on the search title you provided it, is %movie definitely being set to a title that's in your library? try doing a flash of %movie to check wht been set. while testing inside the task you need to put variable set action for %movie and set it to a title you have and make sure you have dragged it to the top (don't forget to delete it again after you've finished testing). hope that helps

 

My autoXBMC query is crashing the Set Media Contexts task when it does the query for tvshow and never setting anything but movies. I've followed the tutorial exactly and can see the movies in api.ai, but as soon as the task gets to the tv show query, my phone screen goes gray and I get a notification like the field was empty. Have the max nr results set plenty high. If I check the autoXBMC logs, they show a long list of my TV shows by episode. Nothing in api.ai though as it crashes before reaching that part of the task.
I've even tried to run just a tv show query and get the same results. Not sure why movies are working and not the tv shows. Any help is appreciated.

 

Here's an adjusted task that breaks the tvshow query into two separate actions for those of you that are seeing Tasker crash because you have a large tvshow collection. You'll obviously need to change your query for your kodi. You can also just break the queries into more than 2 if still having issues. Just combine them all at the end like I did with %shows1 & %shows2.

 

@squatingyeti Can you make a query task for just movies as well. In my case as my movie library contains more than 3000 titles, it is crashing the tasker. So, if possible please share a movie query task that is also broken into parts. Thanks in advance.

 

Dears, very interesting automation. I am completely new to tasker, but I have good knowledge of Kodi. Any chance for a step by step guide?

You are right, I was not able to see the videos from where I was looking at the text , I saw them later from the laptop, many thanks..

You can do the same with autoWeb, and you won't have to delete the duplicates as you will be querying tvshows and not episodes...

RESOLVED: - Had incorrect IP address in AutoXBMC plugin
I can't get past this either (just different error number (51699027)). Any help would be much appreciated. When I am trying to run it from Takser
