Does not work with audio smart playlists

[brendongl]

It shows files playing as the playlist night.xsp123.mp3

Any workaround other than manually creating normal playlists?

@brendongl
I have implemented s.th. that I was able to test with audio playlists.
Please take a look at branch https://github.com/Heckie75/kodi-addon-timers/tree/script.timers.4.1.0 or directly download https://github.com/Heckie75/kodi-addon-timers/raw/refs/heads/script.timers.4.1.0/script.timers.4.1.0.zip

Let me know if this change works for you.

BTW: I',m no very happy with the code since I haven't found a way to add an item of type 'smart playlist' to a playlist (object) by using the API. That's why I've implemented a workaround and do this by utilizing jsonrpc (ident. to the web client)

    json_rpc(jsonmethod="Playlist.Clear", params=[playListId])
    json_rpc(jsonmethod="Playlist.Insert", params=[
        playListId, 0, {"directory": path}])
    player.play()

EDIT:
a little improvement is to play smart playlist like this:

xbmc.executebuiltin('PlayMedia("%s","isdir")' % url)

See xbmc/repo-scripts#2704
