ListItem displays plugin name as label, ignores setLabel

[chuckles]

I'm trying to create a list in my test plugin and I cant get listItem to display the desired label. It displays the name of the plugin as my label for all my items, even when I use static label text

My code is as below

li=xbmcgui.ListItem( label='Test')
li.setInfo( type="Video", infoLabels={ "Title": name } )
u=sys.argv[0]+"?mode=3&name="+urllib.quote_plus(name)+"&url="+urllib.quote_plus(URLS[x])
ok = xbmcplugin.addDirectoryItem(handle=int(sys.argv[1]), url=u, listitem=li, isFolder=False)

Instead of displaying "Test" for listItem label it displays the name of my plugin

Anybody got an idea why?

Which version of XBMC, as this was fixed a while back, but it keeps popping up (i.e. there's something you're doing differently than other plugins).

If it's a recent SVN build, then I'll need a trac ticket (there probably already is one - have a search and let me know if there is) with an example plugin attached.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Apologies for the late reply

I was using Windows Rev21496
I went back and tested on Babylon Beta1 and 9.04.1(repack2)

All have the same result

I couldn't find a trac ticket. I'll see if I can get the script down to its barebones and open a new ticket

I have created a Ticket #6898. Here is the code here as well

You need to add a sortmethod. I added to your code above...

[jmarshall]

So with the sort method added you don't get the problem?

I'm not sure if it works with all methods, but SORT_METHOD_LABEL seems to fix the problem.


edit...I also tried SORT_METHOD_DATE and that works too. So I guess any sort method would fix the problem.

[jmarshall]

Interesting. Will see if I can figure out why this is necessary.

I can confirm that this works. Thanks!!!

FYI, r21647 will return a proper listing if there's no sortmethod set.
