Getting Current Index Playlist

Hi. I currently have a list of videos stored in a playlist and each video entry is displayed in a cell. May I ask how do i get the index of the video that I have selected. I tried the following codes below. playlist is a mediaplayer variable i declared globally,

CODE
var cell = new KONtx.control.GridCell({
			//styles: $content.styles.main.cell,		//Style information for the Grid Cell from 960x540.js
			styles: {
             		 	  width: this.width
         		},
			events: {
				onSelect: function () {
					this.getView().controls.latest.setText(playlist.currentIndex);
					});
				}
			}
		});


Is there anything wrong with playlist.currentIndex?

  • Not sure about the rest of your code, but I would expect the "playlist" value is not scoped correctly

    CODE
    //if you set your playlist like this
    this.playlist = new KONtx.media.Playlist();


    var cell = new KONtx.control.GridCell({
    			//styles: $content.styles.main.cell,		//Style information for the Grid Cell from 960x540.js
    			styles: {
                 		 	  width: this.width
             		},
    			events: {
    				onSelect: function () {
    					this.getView().controls.latest.setText(this.getView().playlist.currentIndex);
    					});
    				}
    			}
    		});

    I'm not sure why you'd want to declare playlist globally as you can access it in the global mediaplayer object like
    CODE
    KONtx.mediaplayer.playlist

    currentIndex is an object. From the mediaplayer docs:

    QUOTE
    playlist.currentIndex Object

    Object with entry and stream properties. The entry property is the zero-based index of the currently selected playlist entry (if one is selected). The stream property is the zero-based index of the currently selected stream in the playlist entry (if one is selected).


    I also see a typo:
    CODE
    events: {
    	onSelect: function () {
    		this.getView().controls.latest.setText(playlist.currentIndex);
    		});  <----------------------------what is this?
    	}

    }
