Adding Videos From Subscriptions To Watch Later Causes Focus To Shift Down Two Places Instead Of One

[jmh2002]

Adding Videos From My Subscriptions To Watch Later Causes Focus To Shift Down Two Places Instead Of One.

Videos are added by a key press which sends the following command:
RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.youtube/playlist/add/video/?playlist_id=watch_later)

NB: adding to Watch Later via the Context Menu does not cause this problem (no shift of focus).

NB: This setup has worked correctly for a long time over previous generations of Kodi and the addon. It's not something that I have newly added.

Please provide any relevant information about your setup

• Add-on Version: v7.1.1.3 (but this problem has existed for quite some time, sorry for not catching it immediately)
• Kodi Version: v21.1
• Kodi GUI Language: English
• Operating System: ChromeOS (using Kodi Android app)
• Operating System Language: English

I can't replicate this and I also can't see anything wrong in the code, at the moment, that could cause this to occur.

Are you able to edit the code on your device to test something? If so, can you see what happens if you change this:

plugin.video.youtube/resources/lib/youtube_plugin/youtube/helper/yt_playlist.py

Lines 58 to 59 in 7ce201c

	if keymap_action:
	context.get_ui().set_focus_next_item()

From:

    if keymap_action:
        context.get_ui().set_focus_next_item()

To:

    if keymap_action and False:
        context.get_ui().set_focus_next_item()

Thanks for looking into this.

I changed line 58 as instructed above and this seems to have solved the problem 🙂
There is now NO change of focus at all after adding to Watch Later via a Keystroke & Command.

This now matches the behaviour when adding via the Context Menu so that seems reasonable as far as UI consistency is concerned.

Thanks again 👍🏻

This now matches the behaviour when adding via the Context Menu so that seems reasonable as far as UI consistency is concerned.

This is not really a solution though. The keymap behaviour was implemented to mimic Kodi behaviour where mapped actions on listitems in a listing, such as queing, would also cause the focus to shift down in the listing.

What the test does show is that the focus is not shifting twice, but that it is only happening once but moving down twice. No idea why this could be occuring, but can you try and see whether it moves down twice when using the default Estuary skin?
