File to always play next

Post by bpmod »

Hello All!

I have been looking for an answer to this, but am unable to find anything on this forum or through Googling.

In mythfrontend, I go to my list of 'Videos', highlight a particular video and select the 'edit video details option'. On the edit page, there is an option for "File to always play next". I have had no problem editing that field through that interface, and the result is exactly what I would expect.

However, I would like to edit that field through a program so that I can edit possibly hundreds of them. I cannot find where the info from that field is stored. I have scoured the database structure and am coming up short.

I am running v29 fixes on Ubuntu 18.04.

My thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Looks like you need to look at the childid field in the videometadata table.

Only done a quick look at the code but my guess is that points to the intid of the file to play next.
