I'm assuming you have an old version of the plugin,try updating to this version.

What do you get when pressing the "Test" button in the XBMC2 config?

edit: Also what version EventGhost/XBMC2 plugin/Kodi are you using?

When I hit Test I get:
JSON-RPC connected
JSON-RPC closed
JSON-RPC works.

I enabled both those settings you mentioned and I'm still not getting any events captured in the log. I am using.
Kodi 17.6
EG 0.4.1.r1722
XBMC2 plugin 0.6.19

Thanks!

Good

XBMC2 plugin 0.6.19

Update the plugin to 0.6.35 here and see if that helps.

I might not reply for a couple of days over Christmas.

edit: Just to verify you have the "Log only assigned and activated events" unchecked? as you won't see any unassigned events otherwise.

I have a request to add currentwindow and currentcontrol events to this plugin.

I have an open thread where I asked for a script to do this and yokel22 is kindly helping me out:

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10067

Would be great though if this could be added to the plugin ?

Cheers

The plugin only supports events created by Kodi, so there is no support for custom events. So any events added to Kodi will be supported in the plugin. You could try and make suggestions for new events here (Kodi forum)

Would be great though if this could be added to the plugin ?

After I have finished the next version (complete rewrite) I might look into adding custom events I added an issue to github here.

I was expecting to be more or less finished with the next version at the end of 2017, unfortunately there was almost no development and as a result I don't know when at this point.

OK thanks, I have a working solution now using a script

I was reading the other day that v18 of Kodi changes the way JSON requests are done, will this affect this plugin ?

Thanks

Great

The plugin uses HTTP POST and the Kodi change seems to effect HTTP GET only so should be fine.

The update in development uses primarily JSON-RPC via TCP but will support HTTP too. and I'm hoping to finish it before Kodi 18 is released.

Hi.

You need to download the "Raw" version of the file or you will get a HTML formatted file that wont work.

Raw version?
What I did is right click on _init_ and xbmcclient and then "save as"

Ok, solved. I left click on the files and then right clic on "RAW"- save as...

Hi guys, I've recently installed Eventghost and am trying to map both an IR remote and a keyboard for use with KODI media player, using the XBMC plugin.. The problem I am having is that after installing the XBMC plugin and connecting to my IP under port 9777.. JSON_RPC connects, HTTP API connects and the XBMC folder and actions are loaded, However when I try to test the commands, they are sent in Event ghost but do not seem to come through, or they're being blocked some how.. I have used the same event ghost to send commands to kodi on another machine which seems to work no problem, and then with event-ghost installed on another machine I am able to control kodi on the this machine, but I cannot control kodi from the same machine that I am on.. I have kaspersky internet security and I suspect it may have something to do with it, but even with it turned off, I can't seem to get any response.. I have been twiddling around with this for hours so if anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction, I would appreciate that greatly ..

Thanks in Advance.

Lets start with the basics (I finally) added a FAQ Q: How to configure Kodi/XBMC to be controlled by the XBMC2 plugin to the first post.

Check that you have the settings correct in Kodi.

Hi,
is there an equivalence-list between the keyboard controls in Kodi (https://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls) and the commands in eventghost plugin XBMC2?
Some commands are clear for me (through the name) other not.
thanks

Hmm, so I'm not sure what kind of list you want but the XBMC2 plugin uses the same action names as Kodi, so any action used in Kodi should be the same in the XBMC2 plugin.

I think the closest to such a list is the keyboard.xml that Kodi uses to map all keyboard keys to actions.

If this doesn't help you, I need a more specific example.

Hello everybody,
I try to get the information about the codec of the actual played audio stream.
(Background: I'm controlling my Denon Receiver already with Eventghost, and want to switch the Upmixer-Setting in the Denon Receiver in depoendent of the audiocodec. The Receiver saves the same setting to all Dolby* Input.

)

What I'm missing is, how I get the audiocodec information of the actual played stream into eventghost.

Yesterday I played a lot with the xbmc2 plugin.
And I got it to work, that I get all (!) streamdetails of the current played item into eventghost.
But if the played file has two or more audio streams, I get the info from all of them. And don't know which one is played.

I think I need the json-rpc item "Player.Audio.Stream" (https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v8# ... dio.Stream)??
(I'm using Kodi 17.6 (Dsplayer) )

Has any one a hint for me how I can get that?

Another question:
to interpret the json-rpc reply, I have to write a small python snipplet in eventghost?
(I started already one, I think it will work)
Or is there are an easier way to do this?

The logik behind all of this should be:
IF
Audiocodec = "atmos" then set Receiver to Atmos
else if
Audiocodec = "DTS-X" then set Receiver to DTS-X
else
set Receiver to Auro

Many Thanks in advance.

EventGhost
