Kodi utility for fast switching between recently played media.
Keeps a list of recently played videos.
The primary intended use is to make for super easy Switchback between two in progress video. See Wiki for usage notes including how to bind remote/keyboard controls for instant Switchback.
Consider this scenario:
- You're watching 'video A' with your partner. You're interrupted, and your partner needs to tend to the kids/howl at the moon.
- You navigate to 'video B' and watch some of that while you're waiting.
- Your partner comes back.
- You hit your one button 'Switchback' and 'video A' instantly starts playing again - no need for tedious navigation etc.
- You're interrupted, again! The moon really is so very bright tonight. Hit your 'Switchback' button to instantly resume 'video B', again with no tedious navigation.
Installing
This add-on is installed from the Add-on browser located in Kodi as follows:
Using Switchback
The Switchback list of recently played media can be accessed the same way as any other video plugin - by clicking on its icon.
Of course, the point is for faster switching without much/any navigation, so you're best off binding a remote/keyboard key for super fast switching.
Accessing the Switchback list:
- You can access the full Switchback list (and remove anything in there if you want) - as you would access any Video addon.
- Ideally, for one touch instant switching that resumes right where you left off, bind a remote/keyboard key to this Switchback command, e.g. this binds the SomeButton button:
<SomeButton>PlayMedia(plugin://plugin.switchback/?mode=switchback,resume)</SomeButton>
- Or, if you prefer for it to display the Switchback list (i.e. list of recently played things) and then select from there, use:
<SomeButton>RunAddon(plugin.switchback)</SomeButton>
