Re: Asterisk AMI Plugin

your best bet for asterisk is to use one of the pre-built distros. As long as you have a fairly recent pc, you should have no problem running it inside a virtual machine.

In the past I would always use trixbox for any asterisk install, but recently i've been using the freepbx distro with good ...

Re: RCAware PC-CEC Plugin (Rainshadow Tech HDMI-CEC Birdge)

Hi Patrick,

I'm using your plugin to control xbmc via my samsung tv remote. I don't have an amplifier and I'm not using mouse control, so I just have your plugin in events only mode.

Re: Asterisk AMI Plugin

Ok, so I thought I'd add an example.

I've added 2 plugins to the Configuration tree - Asterisk AMI and XBMC2

I've created a macro with a Python Script, and used the AsteriskAMI.Newstate event to trigger it

How to include other libraries in plugin

Hi all,

I might be missing something really basic here, but how do include other python libraries in my plugin?

I created a sub folder in my plugin directory and put the .py files there, but EG locks up on starting.

How do I reload plugin

Hi Guys,

It's my first day trying to write a plugin, so go easy on me..

After I have made changes to the plugins .py file, what's the best way to get it to reload?

Looks like I either have to delete the plugin (along with any actions) from the tree. Or close EG and restart it.

Is there an easier ...
