Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[blaher]

The same for TV episodes, it says XBMC2.Player.OnStop, instead of XBMC2.Player.OnStop.episode if it's not a manual stop.

That is/was a bug in XBMC see my ticket, it should be fixed in today's nightly build of XBMC.

Cheers, it says it's already fixed.

BTW, both examples above, the python script and macro, (after I picked monitor 1), worked for me to display the OSD information.

i would like to have a command to clean library from remote i found in the List of built-in functions this command: CleanLibrary(database). is there a way to set a command in the xbmc2 list to do this.

Sure . Unfortunately I haven't finished adding the built-in functions directly, but you can still use them via the Experimental\HTTPAPI action with command ExecBuiltIn using CleanLibrary(video) as parameter.

If you haven't used the HTTPAPI action before you need to press the Update button to download the syntax information, if that don't work you can still put in the command manually.

Hope this helps.

jonib

thanks alot for your quick answer.
i tried only yesterday but i have some trouble.
first of all when i edited the HTTPAPI action, after i have used the update button, i haven't found in "miscellaneous command" tab the sub-voice ExecuteBuiltIn, i found it in "broadcast command" tab so i used this one.
i have added this new action to a button of my remote to test the action but, as you can see in the image i had two kind of issues.
first: the site is running team viewer (and this is right, i have the team viewer on in my system).
so i have turned off the team viewer and tested again the command. in this second attemp i had a new messag "HTTPAPI connecction errore etc.....".
could you help me? could depend from the version of the plug in EG (my EG version is 0.4.1r1568. i don't know i'm new in this kind of software.
here some images to explane what i wrote.

first message (team viewer on)

Unfortunately the webpage I get the command information changed after I released the plugin, as a result the categories get messed up, I think it works correctly in the current test version. But anyway the commands should work just fine anyway.

Looks like both XBMC and TeamViewer uses network port 80, you need to change the port on one of them, if you change the port in XBMC remember to change in the XBMC2 plugin also (info how to change port in XBMC). I use port 8080 in XBMC and works great.
Did you restart XBMC when you closed down TeamViewer?

It was fixed fast that's for sure, but there is already trouble in paradise check post.

Thanks for the report, I was in a bit of a hurry so I assumed non of them would work. Now the question is are they useful to show how the actions work?

no i haven't.
i understood it was a problem of ports.
but i use already the port 8080 in xbmc (is the one i setted to run the android remote).
i don't understand why EG calls that port. i have to change the port number also in EG settings. if i remember when i added plugins in EG configuration i read a sort of IP and a port numer (the one in the error). isn't it?

You need to change the port number in the XBMC2 plugins settings, just doublclick on XBMC2 in the autostart folder in EventGhost, the second editbox is the port.

Yes, I can use your Python script with a 'Trigger event' of {eg.result} instead of the 'Show OSD' to give me:
Main.30 Rock: Do-Over

i.e. showname: episodename

I couldn't figure that out before.

I think that's what 'Livin' was after, except maybe with the XBMC2.Player.OnPlay prefix instead of Main.

i set the right port in EG and now the action "sounds good".
thank you

Great.

Pro tip: If you would like your remote events to be nicer you could use Remote event mapper plugin(it's included in EventGhost) to rename them to more descriptive names.

Hello

maybe someone can help me (translated by google)

I've created several playlists in XBMC, now I want to put any playlist on a button on the remote control with Event Ghost .. how can this be done?


thank you

[Livin]

HTTP server supports playlists...

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=We ... r_HTTP_API

JSON API does too..

"Player.Open" : { "description" : "Opens a file or playlist" }

I suspect you will need to create a macro. jonib could give you the format needed, I'm not up on the format quite yet.

I think the easiest is to use the HTTPAPI command PlayFile.

Make a macro and add the HTTPAPI action from XBMC2\Experimental. Configure it like the picture below (with a path to your playlist file).

First, I apologize for the extremely late response. Hopefully it has not scarred you for life.

I want to start a dynamic playlist in XBMC with an EventGhost Macro. I hope that is possible.

Looks like the solution is the same as the post above (how convenient for me ), you just need to know the path to your dynamic list (I assume it's the same as a smart list).

Sorry again for the really late reply, I didn't miss it when you posted but I wasn't able to look into it at the time, then it got lost in all my Firefox tabs (which there are hundreds of).

thx

so I can play files directly .. But I want to be my playlist list opens

when I mean "playlist.xsp" entries always played a movie is in the playlist

these three categories, there are .. I want to taste each of them has its own place on the remote

[Livin]

I think you are now saying you want to open XBMC to the playslist screen... not actually start a playlist -- correct?

I don't know if there is a way to tell XBMC to open the playlist screen. You'll need to search the wiki, and or post on XBMC's forum. If XBMC provides a way, we can do it with EG.

One thought, if XBMC does not provide a way directly, is to set that to a Favorite (if XBMC allows this) and then open the Favorite.

let us know what you find.
